SIOUX ClTYCORRESpONDENT
STILL BUSY.
Says Members 81 City Council
Accented $50 Brides,

Prompted by an unknown
motive, that Sioux City letter
writer continues to send letters
to this city accusing the mem
bers of the Missouri Volley city
council of accepting brides of
500 each in consideration of
their granting official permits
sion for Sioux City gamblers to
operate a gambling house in
this city. Another letter was
received yesterday afternoon
from the anonymous correspon-
dent. The letter was written
on stationery bearing the name
of the Mondamin Hotel, Sioux
City, and the writer evidently
attempted to disguise his hand
writing as the letter is written
in a scrawling hand and is as
follows:
Sioux City, Iowa, Dec 10th.
Alderman Fourth Ward, Mis-
souri, Valley, Iowa: A saloon
keeper here by the name of
Grant claims he went to your
town and bribed the City Coun-
Gil for 500 each for permission
to run a gambling house there.
| heard this in Grants saloon. ;"
The letter is unsigned and
that he is unacquainted in Mis-
souri, Valley is evidenced by the
fact he addresses the letter to
the alderman of the Fourth
ward.
When the communications
commenced coming the mem
bers of the City Council paid
little attention to them but now
the anonymous communications
have assumed a serious aspect,
casting rather serious rehec-
lions on the respective mem
bers of the Council and an eff
fort is going to be made to
trace down the author of the
letters and bring him to JUS
tice.

DID HE TAKE his LIFE?
Unknown Man Died On Elkhcrn
Train Yesterday Evening
Was a Charity Subject Enrcute
tO lie Mars.

On a slab in L. Foss's under
taking establishment in this
city today lies the remains Of a
man who died in a F. E. & M.
v. passenger coach in this city
yesterday evening between 5:45
and 6 o'clock. The identity of
the man is not known but a
name and address found among
his effects this morning may
furnish a clue that will ultimat-
ely bring about his Identified
ton. A coronors inquest has
been in progress all day today
at the office of Constable w. A.
Stewart.
1t appears the man has been
about Scribner, Neb. for the
past several days and finally APP
pealed to the authorities of that
place for financial assistance to
enable him to get to LIE Mars,
la. where he said relativeslived.
The man had been sick during
the time he spent in Scribner
and yesterday the town Marshal
brought the man to the depot
and buying him a ticket to Mo.
Valley started him on his way.
At frequent intervals the man
took medicine from a bottle he
carried in his pocket and it was
not long before he went to
sleep. Only once did he awaken
and then he walked the full
length of the car and got a
drink of water. Returning to
his seat he soon went to sleep
again and never regained CON
ciousness. When train 1O4
reached this city and the pas
sengers commenced to leave
the train a brakeman attempted
to awaken him but failing in
this effort Surgeon Colt of the
Elkhorn system was summoned.
When the DIR reached the man,
life was not extinct but every
effort to rouse him failed and
his death followed in a few
minutes.
j. S. Holland, C. H. Black
man and Aaron Carpenter, con-
shutting the Coronors jury
which has been busy all day
under the direction of County
Coroner Hennessy, investigat-
ing the case returned a verdict
this afternoon to the effect the.
man came to his death from
paralysis of the heart. Among
his effects was found a small
crumpled slip ofpaper on which
was written "My name is Louis
Creagor, 1902, Garden st Peo-
ria, Ill., 1t is not known
whether the address given is
that of some acquaintance or
his own. The authorities have
telegraghed the chief of police
of Peoria but late this after
noon had received no response.

School Notes.

Mention was made i'm this
paper some few weeks ago OF
some work in manual training
being done at the Third Ward.
The boys in the Eighth room
have made a miniature house
for use in Miss Brandriff's
room. This piece of furniture
certainly reflects credit on the
boys who made it. This kind
of work is not only of some
practical utility, but it gives
training to the hand as we'll as
to the head and heart.
We noticed in Miss Clark's
room some work in weaving
and also a chimney that had
been built for the Xmas exer-
cises. In this work, however,
we understand that one of the
boys had the assistance of his
father. We certainly appre-
ciate such interest as this
shown by parents. When the
parents become really interest
ed in the work of the school the
children will be regular and
punctual.

to primarily abando4l the thought of his terribl deed, there could be but feeling of Sympathy fo1 him he was pitiablle; with a face trickled with tears, in choked Ian guage he said, "My| God, why did I do this.1' He wished that he were dead. "I wo4ld have been glad,'' said he tiff the gun with which MT. Rruett shot me had been loaded with buckshpt, instead. " But he has done his work and must now face the law; he must suffer the consequences.
 Since he has beenl committed to jail here, he has had little to say, though he shows visible signs of grief over his villan3ous act. His back and head are Ethickly pene- trated from the gun shot wounds, but the injury is of h light form. The grief-stricken father went to the prison with him but they did not discuss the matter among themselves.
 Young Ownby and his wife were marr1ed about two years ago. He is twenty-five years |of age, while his wife is twenty-fopr. One child, now eleven months of age, was born to them, and lis now at the home of the young man's father She was a Miss Zonie Toomes, a daughter of Mrs. Jim| Pruett. She has one sister, Miss Dnie Toomes, previously referred to in this article. The first cause for dis affection in the home of Ownby and his wife is not definitely known, it being attributed d to different sources. It seems they have never lived agreeably together since the earlier days of their welded life.
 The awful incident is deeply de- plored, and caused furore of ex- citement in the neighborhood in which it happened.
 Nothing has been heard from the condition of the wounded woman since yesterday.

The Home of pr. Matthews All, most Destroyed Yester-
 day Afternoon.
Home of Mrs. Jones Caught Today Residence of Riley Shepard
 Burned Last Night.

The handsome residence Of LIT. J. T. Matthews, corner of Cumber- land and Depot streets, was almost destroyed by fire yesterday after- noon at four o'clock, and had it not been for the exceptionally fine work of the local fire company, it would have been reduced to ashes. The fire originated, it is supposed. from a defective f1ue in the kitchen. All the household goods, with the excep- tion of the carpets, were removed from the burning home.
 Mrs. Matthews, her mother and t wo daughters were at home at the
 imet.he blaze originated, but didnot make the discovery until the flames had gained considerable headway. Before the fire department reached the scene the house was apparently envelored in the raging flames, famed by high gale of a north- west wind, but some how the com- pany soon got the best of the situa- tion and quelted the conflagration in a very fe v minutes. The work done by the company was certainly ef- ficient in every way. The members of the department fought with a zeal that would have done credit to expert fire fighters. Their quick and commendable work saved the structure from total destruction and they are being deservedly compii- mented by those who witnessed their efforts.
 The home was insured for Sl,000 but this amount will not likely cover the loss. There was no insurance on the household goods. The house was valued at $1, 300 which was the price paid for it by Dr. Matthews aboutsa year ago when he purchasedit from Rev. 2. T. Bennett. Those who were engaged ID re- moving the household effects from the residence during the hre, re- ceived a genuine scare. A brick chimney toppled and it caused many of them to believe the structure was falling in. Those who were in the Spc0nd Stnrv lnSt m t,nn in enokinO safety, many of them sliding down the yeranda posts.
 Portions of the walls and the front of the house are not very badly damaged. The residence will be re built.
 Dr. Matthews and wife are stay with the family of Dr. Yantis, while their two daughters are at the Stancill House.

The Wife Murderer Brought to The City From Rector
 Last Night.
Remorse of Conscience is Telling on Him-Broke Down and Wish-
 ed Himself Dead.

esuN AS&A &AS5OVA AAAO OOAA e.o VAO VI 0oAO county jail, suffering from gun shot wounds, Jim Own by, the young man, who, in fit of anger, deliberately shot and per haps fatally wounded his wife Sunday afternoon, is awaiting the action of the Greene county grand jury. He was brought here last night by City Marshall Henry Cox and Deputy Sheriff D. M. Vowell, of Rector, and they were accom- panied by Bill Ownby, the father of the young man. The prisoner was delivered to the charge of Sheriff Grayson and was locked up. The scene of the awful deed was at the home of Jim Pruett, just across the line in Greene county, near Rector, and it occurred Sun day afternoon at about four o'clock. The young man seems to have been prompted to commit the dastardly act because of his wife leaving him Sunday morning to go to the home of her mother and he also claims that he opposed her association with her sister, Onie Toomes, for reasons best known only to himself. Enraged from de- spondency, determined to either accomplish his wish or to hurl her life into eternity, he armed him. self with thirty-eight caliber pistol, and proceeded to the home of Mir. Pruett, accompanied by MT. looms, his wife's father, both being under the influence of liquor. He gained the presence of his wife and again appealed to her to return with him, his language tinged with a breath of violence, but she fiatly refused to consider his mission. Assuming the role of a fiery demon, he whipped out a revolver and fired three shots into the body of the unfortunate girl as she turned to run for safety; she fell to the floor unconscious. Thinking he had accomplished his bloody work, he ran from the scene. Mir. Pruett, quickly observing the situation, siezed shot gun and fired the contents of one barrel at the fleeing man, but the charge being composed of squirrel-shot, little effect was done. The shots were fired at a distance of forty yards. The other barrel of the gun was empty.
 The victim of the enraged husband is yet at the homo of her. mother. pr. s: F. Weigart, of Rector, was immediately sum- moned to her bedside and found that one shot entered the back of her head one in the left side, and, ranging through the body. The chances for her recovery arc ex- temely doubtful.
