even a suspicion as to who committed the
cowardly crime. IL is preposterous to
suppose that the motive was robbery.
My brother was 70 years old; his wife
70. A thief would have met with no re-
sistance in an attempt to secure plumber.
L do not believe these stories about Sell
den & Shelter inducing people to locate
in Manyille upon false representations.
mo one seems to know anything at all
about the murder. While there are
twelve occupied houses in the neighbor-
hood of the office not more than two per-
sons heard the shooting. Mrs. Selden
supposed that the lamp, which was ex.
tinguished by conclusion, had exploded.
She was almost Frustrated when she
learned the truth, but recovered and bears
up remarkably well.
Il noticed two very peculiar and. sus-
picious circumstances in connection with
the affair. Several men searched the
floor of the room where the second bullet
undoubtedly fell, but it could not be
found. Perhaps the man who fred the
shot secured the missile and concealed it;
but then the other ball is in possession of
the coroner. Then my brothers face was
badly bruised apparently by blows in
flicted with a blunt instrument. May not
the assassin have entered the building
during the absence OF Mrs. Selden and
made assurance doubly sure by assaulting
the already fatally wounded mani
Oscar was worth 5000, 900, every cent
of which is willed to his wife. He had
two children-a son and daughter-both
married.
Mrs. Selden and myself have offered
81 200 reward for the arrest Of the perpe-
traitor Of the dastardly deed"
On returning to Omaha Judge Selden
dispatched detectives to Manville, and
they have been working on the mysteri-
GUS case. They operated quietly, and SO
guarded were they hat even Shelter, who
had become postmaster at Manville and
the business partner of his dead assocl-
ate's widow, did not know that his every
movement was closely watched. The de-
t%ectives suspected the postmaster from
the first-perhaps for the reason that
scarcely anyone else thought him capable
of such a thing.
The work of the detectives was slow
and difficult, but link by link they welded
a chain of circumstantial evidence which is
considered well nigh resistless.
The work of eighteen months eulmi-
mated satisfactorily to the investigators at
Douglas Wednesday, when the first grand
Jury to sit in Converse county returned an
indictment charging John A. Shelter
with the murder of his unfortunate part
ner.
Shelter will be arraigned at once and
the trial will probably occur this term of
court. AS the evidence will be of a cir
cumstantial nature almost entirely. the
case will be as interesting, as the crime
was dreadful.
1t is a well known fact that THE LEA
DER is opposed to this thing of trying de-
PENDANTS out of court. There is a posi-
bility ofSheffer's innocence, but if guilty
of this most cowardly and unjustiied
crime he richly merits an infiiction OF the
extreme penalty. Selden had been his
friend in every way and if Shelter did as
sassinate his benefactor he must be a
fend indeed.

NEW TIME CARD.
The Latest Schedule Issued at
Omaha Yesterday.
Here are The New Hours of Arrival
and Departure for Cheyenne.
Superintendent Barr Reaches His
New Division.
THE NEW CARD.

The work of arranging a new time table
for the Union Pacific is completed. 1t
wa finished rapidly after the Job had
been tackled in earnest BY those detailed
for the work.
Under the new system there will be two
west bound trains in and two east bound
out daily, but only one west bound train
out daily. This change is necessitated by
the entire abandonment of double daily
passenger service by the Southern Pacific
railway. On account of the heavy East
ern traffic to and from CHEYENNE the
double service in that direction must be
continued by the Union Pacific.
Here is the new passenger train time
card for Cheyenne as bulletined here by
telegraph Yesterday:
MAI LINE.
No. l, west bound, now arriving at $40
D. M, will reach the city at 2:lO p. IN.
and leave twenty minutes later.
No. ?, east bound. now due at 1910 a.
M, will arrive at $50 a. m. and depart at
1910.
No. 3. west bound, now arriving at 3:45
A. m. will not put in an appearance until
1905 pm.
No, 4, now arriving from the west at
$50 p. m. will be made up at this point
and will leave for the east at Sis p. IN.
DENVER PACIFIC.
After Sunday there will be only single
passenger service between this city and
Denver. No. 302 will leave Cheyenne for
Denver at 10:l5 every morning. No. 30I
will leave Denver for Cheyenne about
ll:3O a. M, and reach this city at 2
O'Clock p. M.
CARD NOTES.
There is talk OF shortening the time of
the Golden Gate Special two hours be-
tween Omaha and Ogden. Past per-
formances have demonstrated that the
Wyoming division can easily contribute
its hour if the Nebraska di Vision is able
to respond with the required sixty
minutes.
The change will cause several conduc-
tors to return to braking.
The Cheyenne & Northern time card
remains intact.
1t will be absolutely necessary to
feed one, probably TWO, trains at this
point under the new card.
No. 4, 10Y arriving here at $50 every
evening, will leave Ogden as a special
about s o'clock Saturday night.
The new time cards left Omaha yester-
day aud will be distributed here this
evening.
MR. BARR ARRIVES.
j. M. Barr, the new superintendent Of
the Wyoming division, reached the city
last evening aboard the west bound train,
and resumed the Journey to Salt Lake in
his private car, which has been in waiting
at this point for the gentleman several
days.
MIR. Barr hurriedly inspected his offices
here, and expressed himself as pleased
with the quarters.
In an interview the new official said
that he would return from his conference
with MIR. Cumming Thursday; that his
family would soon Join him here and,
most important of all in the news line,
said that he did not anticipate making
any changes in the offices or departments
here. Mr. Barr was fully described in
these columns two weeks ago.
