Mrs. Wilson and Daughters of
Los Angeles Enjoined
at Omaha.
Accused by Merchant of Harassing
His Employees and Injuring
His Trade.

OMAHA, NEBR., Feb. 5.-The Wilson
women. who came here few weeks ago
from Los Angeles, are in trouble again.
Judge Powell to-day issued restraining
order against Marie Wilson, Ruby Wilson
and the mother of both, directing them
not to enter and to keep away from the
store of R. S. Raymond, where P. j.
Burroughs is selling the stock at auction.
The women followed Burroughs here from
the coast, and have been annoying him
persistently.
Raymond applied for the injunction.
He charged the women with having fre-
quently visited the store for the purpose
of annoying his employees, and threatening
them, insulting them and circulating
false and scandalous stories about the en-
ployes and the plaintiffs business. and
hindering, preventing and persuading
customers from purchasing goods.
1t is alleged that the women have har-
assed the employees and prevented them
from performing their duties. 1t is also
alleged that the women have frequently
come to the doors and windows of the
store and have Knocked, shouted at and
annoyed the plaintiff and his assistants,
and have made themselves offensive by
word and deed.
This suit grows out of the sensational
episode which occurred in McTague's res
taurant about two weeks ago, when Paul
Harris, a stranger in this city, struck Miss
Marie Wilson and knocked her down,
afterward making his escape in time to
avoid arrest

Resolued. By the Senate (the House of Repre-
sentatives concurring), that in the opinion of
Congress a condition of public war exists be-
tween the Government of Spain and the Gov
ernment proclaimed and for some time main
tanned by force of arms by the people of Cuba !:
and that the United States of America should
maintain a strict neutrality between the con-
tending powers and accord to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and territory
of the United States.
Call CD of Florida gave notice that he
would ask to have the resolution taken up
after the morning hour.

Tonight it was decided to make an
effort to float the Kilbrannan and at high
tide tomorrow morning five tugs belong

Pioneer and Magic-will take hold of the
wreck and attempt to float it. 1t is not
considered probable that the effort will be
successful.
The vessel is in no danger OF breaking
up. 1t has been forced so high upon the
beach that dozens of visitors were able to
board it to-day. The place where the Kill
brannan is prisoner is what is known as
shingly beach, and it is the pinion of
many that with this in her favor it will be
impossible for the sand TO pile up suffi-
ciently to prevent her. being gotten off in

The vessel received such terrific pound
ing that, should it be fioated. the pumps
will have to be kept busy to keep it from
filling and sinking.

ship to attempt to float her.
When the Kilbrannan arrived off Cape
Flattery yesterday morning the weather
was thick. and there was moderate breeze
from the westward. No tugs were sighted
and it was decided to come up the straits
ahead of the westerly breeze. The wind
continued moderate until the ship was off
Race rocks, when it began to increase rap

rate that within ten minutes, and before
the sails could be shortened, it was blow

driven across the straits till off Dungeness,
when the ship quickly broached to.
The wind had continued until it was
now blowing terrific gale, and it either
blew away or split all the leeward sails.
An effort was made to get an anchorage,
but was not successful, and the ship was
then kept off to the wlndward with the
hope OF making Port Townsend harbor.
The vessel could not be handled we'll

dren He Sends a Bullet
Into His Brain.
LONG OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.
Neighbors Who Call With News That
He Had Finally Secured Work
Find the Corpses.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 5.-Evidence of q
terrible tragedy was discovered this morn
ing in the house of Richard Kloettke, a
carpenter, at 207 Bortean avenue. A
neighbor went to the house to test some
work done, and found it looking like
channel house. The whole family, con-
sisting of seven persons, lay dead, with
CHASTITY wounds in their bodies, the victims
of murder and suicide.
The family consisted of Richard Kloettke
and his wife Kate, their three daughters,
Nina, Anna and Emma, aged respectively
8, s and 7 years, and John and Nina
Kloettke, the aged father and mother OF
Richard.
Richard had supported the entire FAM
lily by his labors, but for long time he
had been able to find very little work and
the family was in a state of destitution.
When the house was searched this morn
ing after the tragedy no money could be
found.
Kloettke had evidently become despond.
ent on account Of this enforced idleness
and had murdered the entire family, end
ing with blowing out his brains. All had
been killed by shots from a revolver, and
the weapon with which the murderous
work had been done lay close beside Klo-
ettke, where it had fallen from his hand
after the last fatal shot had been fred.
Kloettke had been out of work ever since
Christmas. One pathetic feature of the
tragedy is that the neighbors called at the
Kloettke cottage this morning each with
news of employment.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. SIN Judge Bren-

big clothing firm of Clement, Bane & Co.
of Chicago and the Clothing Cutters and
Trimmers' Association of Chicago came up
on the application of the firm to have the
injunction against the local union, restrain
ing the members from interfering with the
business, made permanent.
According to the compaDy's story the
fight, which began year ago with a strike
in the factory, has nearly resulted in the
ruin of its business. Austin Clement of
the firm admitted during the day that
during the fall of 1894, when smallpox was
raging in Sing Sing prison, the firm bought
at least $4,000 worth of convict-made
goods, saying that other firms did the
same. When asked if his foreman did not
testify before the sweat-shop committee
that his firm did business of 100000 a
year and 80 per cent of that was in convict
made goods, the witness said they had
tried to do that much business, but had
not succeeded since Cleveland was elected

RIVALS FIGHT 4 DUEL,
AspirantS for a Woman's Love
Attempt a Settlement With
Pistols.
Both Are Badly Wounded, and Two
Bystanders Stop Stray
Bullets.

GREENSBURG, IND, Feb. 5.-John Lee
and James Bostic, rivals for the affections
OF young woman of Adams, quiet little
town five miles west of here, attempted to
settle the matter with pistols yesterday,
and both of them are badly wounded,
while two bystanders also received stray
bullets.
Bostic accompanied young lady home
from church several weeks ago, when she
was insulted by Lee. A quarrel ensued,
and in short while Lee had won the
young lady's affections. She was engaged
but she broke the engagement and was
shortly to be married to Lee.
Bostic was drunk last night when he met
Lee. They quarreied and Bostic threatened
to kill his rival. An hour later Lee was
among group of friends in conversation,
when Bostic shot at him, firing ten
or twelve times. Lee drew his re-
volver and fired several times.

him. Lee was shot three times, once in
the head, once just below the heart, on the
left side, and in the thigh. He will die.
A ball from Bostlc's revolver struck a
store building and glanced, striking Vol.
ney Cline, about sixty feet away, IN the
thigh and seriously wounding him.
The trouble occurred in front of Hazel
riggs drugstore and the glass was shat
tered by the bullets. A little girl standing
in the store was shot in the cheek by Bos-
tic, but the wound is not dangerous, the
ball barely plowing inside the skin. Sew
eral other men and women were standing
around Lee. but fortunately they escaped
injury. Great excitement prevails there,
and the Sheriff and posse are after Bostic.
