AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Nick Fox Charge By tho Ooroner's Jury
with Deliberate Murder. @
PATHETIC STORY OF ONE WITNESS,
stock Dealer Arrested on IA Charge OF
Swindling n Commission House
Charged with Horse steal
ing CITY Notes.

The inquest over the BODY OF Mrs. Charity
Fox, murdered on tho morning of the 22d
inst by her husband, was continued ycster-
day afternoon.
The first witness was little Roy Fox, the
lO'year-old son of the murderer. His testi-
mony was exactly the same as that already
published at longth in The BEE, He was
awakened by a terrible commotion, rushed
out into the kitchen and saw his father beat
ing his mother over the head with a revolver
His mother managed to escape only whom his
father seized him by the arm to throw him
into the corner.
Mrs. Sherman, mother of tho murdered
woman, testified how her daughter came
running into her house wounded and doclar-
ing that her husband Nick had shot her,
Miss Bryan testified that she had heard
the dying statement of Mrs. Fox. 1t was to
the effect that Nick had placed a revolver
against her body and fired it.
Moses Dougherty, the next door nelghbor,
corroborated the testimony of little Roy
Fox. He heard a terrible commotion next
door and heard a noise as though a child was
being choked. He ran to the back door and
saw Mrs. Fox run by in her night clothes
pursued by her husband. Later Fox came
to witness door ana said For Gods sake
come In and see me de- witness went
into FoX's house, and the bleeding
man said: ~ shot my wife with a revolver
and then belted her over the head with it,"
The witness described pathetlcally how,
after the rumpus, he went 10 FoX's house
and found nobody there but the 4.year-old
child OF the assassin. The child was covered
with blood, and on seeing witness commenced
crying and said: Papa has killed mamma.
At this j~uncture the witness, touched with
the memory of the sad affair, broke into tears
and it was Q minute or two before the OLD
man could proceed with his testimony.
Mr.. Gillespie swore that he accompanied
Fox up town to find a doctor. On the way
up Fox admitted that he had shot his wife,
but declared that she had been intimate with
a good many men.
Chief of Police Brennan produced the
photographs and other effects taken from
Fox after arrest, showing that he was ready
for fight and that the murder was conse-
uuentiy planned. Three cartridges taken
from the revolver showed that they had been
denied by the hammer, but not discharged.
One was found exploded and the fifth I'M
touched.
DR.. Slabaugh, the physician who attended
the dying woman, testified that there was
every indication that the bullet had killed
the woman.
Coroner Harrigan swore that the au-
topsy revealed the fact that tho bullet
had passed through the liver, intestines
and one of the kidneys, producing death.
The case was given to the jury and a YER
dict was brought in to the effect that Mrs.
Fox had come to her death from the effect of
a bullet wound from u revolver in the right
hand Of Nicholas Fox, fired with malicious
ana felonious intent. U.s..

THE TERRIBLE HEAT.
1t Brings Death and Misery to Poor
Family.
Gustave Kunz Labors Too Hard in the
Harvest Field. and Dies From
Prostration.

The heat out in the country was intense
yesterday, and on most of the ranches
work was suspended for the day.
On Charles Mack's ranch, on the lower
Stockton road, however, the crew who
were operating header continued to
labor, and the result was that one Of the
men, Gustaye KunZ, German, was
prostrated by the heat and died before
medical attendance could be secured.
Kunz suffered nearly all day from the
heat, but tried to keep up with the others.
The body was brought to the morgue
last evening by Nathan Stackhouse, who
was running the header.
Kunz leaves a wife and five children,
who live near the Seven mile House, and
are said to be in destitute circumstances.
"Gus gave out two or three times
during the day" said MI Stack
house last evening, "but after taking
rest would pitch in again. Finally,
about $3.50 O'clock in the afternoon,
he came to me and said he could
stand it no longer, and was going home.
He got out Of his wagon, but before he
walked ten feet he staggered and fell. We
carried him over to q shady place, and as
he did not recover consciousness we de-
| cided to take him home. We put him in
a wagon and made him as comfortable as
possible, after which we started toward
his home. We We're just about mile
from the house when he died"
ANOTHER LIGHT CASE.
y telephone message was received at
the Police Station yesterday afternoon,
asking the authorities to send the City
/ Physician to Third and streets to attend
TO man who had been prostrated by the
! heat.
a couple OF officers Went to the place
mentioned and found an Italian suffering
! from the effects Of the sun. It was not
/ thought necessary, however, to summon
/ Il physician, as the man was able to walk

LICENSE ORDINANCE.
1t is Understood the Liquor Dealers
viii Fight 1t,
The Charter Docs Provide for Ten
Days Publication, But that
is All It Says.

The quarter for which city and county
licenses vii! be due and payable begins
to-day At the session Of the City Trus-
tees on Monday last City Attorney Hart
rendered an opinion to the board to the
effect that lie had not been able to find
any provision in the general laws, nor in
the city charter, requiring ordinances to
be published for ten days before they
coulu go into effect.
On the strength of this opinion it has
been assumed that the License Collector
viii demand $40 from each liquor-house
or saloon (instead of SI5 rs heretoforel, as
provided in the ordinance passed by the
board on that day.
RECoaD-UNIoN reporter met eX-City
Attorney Anderson late last night, and
in 4 conversation with him the latter
said:
"By the way, it was stated by City At
torney Hart last Monday to the City
Trustees, that there WAS no law requiring
the publication Of ordinances for ten
days. But there is, and l refer You to
Section l6 OF the City Charter, which is
mandatory in that regard"
On looking up the section referred to, it
was found to relate 20 revenues, the fiscal
year, etc., and concludes with these
words:
''They 1.-THE Trusteesl shall publish all
ordinances Tor ten days in some newspa-
per published ia said city,
Mr.. Anderson is counsel for the Liquor
Dealers Association, and is in duty
bound to uphold his clients cause. He
Will, in obedience to their demand. con-
test the new ordinance, and among other
things he will hold that it cannot go into
force and. effect until after such publica-
ton.
But q second glance at the section Of the
charter quoted shows that it does not say
| this publication is necessary to give
effect to an ordinance. 1t does not even
say when such publication shall be made
whether at the time an ordinance is
proposed, Immediately upon its passage,
or at any subsequent time. 1t simply
says that all ordinances land it would
seem that they cannot be ordinances until
they have been passed) shall be published
for ten days.
And for what purpose-tO give them
force, or merely for public information ?
| These are questions to be determined
should the liquor dealers-as they intend
to do-cOntest the validity Of the new
ordinance. 1t is possible, however that
these points have already been de-
termined by the courts.
