HOW THE TROLLEY RAISES RURAL TASTES.

Within the last four or five years the extern

a notable change in the character of rural com

people living in the country made only occasional
visits to the city, while even to the inhabitants
of the towns and villages along steam railroad
lines the trip was attended with so much incon

MURDER OF AN OMAHA NAN
Inquest at Peoria Fails to Bring Out Clear
Story Of Fight
TWO ACCUSED MEN PLEAD sELF-DEfENsE
One of the Prisoners Insists thai
LeRry Started the Fight-Doctors
Testify About Marks Found
on the Dead body.

The body OF James P. Leary, the Omaha
man who was murdered at Peoria. Ill, last
Friday, arrived yesterday and was taken
to the family home at 1920 South Fifteenth
street. Mr.. Leary was killed in a fight In
which several men participated and the
Peoria authorities are having dificulty in
getting at the facts in the case, as will be
seen from the following report OF the in
quest taken from the Peoria Journal of
Wednesday:
The most important facts established by
the corouers jury was that Monk and Rog-
resulted in the death OF Leary. What part
Powells took In the affair Is not known
perfectly, but It seems probable from the
evidence that he will be held as an ac-
complete.
Charles Baudank, the roommate of
Monk. was the most important witness put
upon he stand. He testified that on the
night of che murder Monk and Rogers came
to, his room at shortly after y o'clock and
This evidence tending to incrtminate Monk
will be a stumbling block for the state,
since the former witnesses in the case posi-
lively identified Powells as the man who
was engaged with Rogers in the fight with
Leary.
Another peculiar fact which was ELECTED
injuries from which the man died. Drs.
Well and McFadden testified on, the stand
to the fact that they had found no marks
upon the dead mans body to indicate that
he had come to his death through the
Violence of the beating which was admin
istered, but that they found upon the
temple two delicate incisions such as
might have been inflicted by ar awl or
some other pointed instrument. The doctors
testified that the wound nigh have come
from the deceased falling, when attacked,
upon a board containing uncovered nails.
The only authentic story OF the fight un-
fortunately is that told by the defendants
themselves. According to their own ac-
count there, were two fights, one on the
railroad tracks and another at the foot OF
Morton street. Rogers has each time as
serted In talking OF the affair that Leary
started the fight by kicking Monk and
that It was in an endeavor to defend them
selves that the fight began, He states fur
s'srds I,eary picked himself up and started
to run up Morton street. He and Monk fol-
lowed and fell upon him again, all rolling
together on the ground.

BRINGS IN ANOTHER TRIBE
Deputy Marshal Arrives with About
Fifty Indians for Witnesses
in Court.

Deputy Marshal Allan has Just returned
from one Of his periodical trips over the
northeastern portion OF the state, bringing
with him an unusually large assortment Of
Indians and a few alleged criminals. There
are over fifty OF the former class, and they
were yesterday lined along both sides of the
third floor corridor OF the federal building
awaiting their turn as witnesses before the
grand jury. OF the latter class the only
new unfortunate is Jack Henley, who is
now lodged in the county Jail awaiting a
hearing on the charge Of selling liquor to
Indians. &c..
Deputy Allan tells a thrilling story Of a
wild ride in the terrific wind Of Tuesday
night. There were four of them in a double
carriage coming across the plains Of Santee
agency on their way to Bloomfield and about
six miles north Of that town when the at
m%osphere struck them. Allan says as near
as he can remember he left the carriage
very quickly and went some ten feet away
and stood on his ear. Another occupant,
he says. apparently in even a greater hurry,
made his exit through the top of the car
riage. The other two men were discovered
later tangled up with each other and with
the vehicle on top Of both. For some
strange reason none Of them was seriously
hurt and they managed to patch up the dam
age and continue their journey.

TWo WOMEN TIREp OF LIE
Mrs. c. J.. Benson and Miss Louise
Cohen Attempt TO End


Mrs. c. J.. Benson, about 81 years Of age,
attempted to al her own life yesterday
in room lis Of the Willard hotel by
shooting herself in the right breast with a
22-caliber revolver. She was removed to
st. Joseph's hospital.
The would-be suicide went to the hotel
about $3.50 o'clock, registered and asked for
n room. She was given No. lis. About an
hour later a pistol shot rang through the
corridor and was heard by several people
in the halls below. Immediately the bell
on the call board registered and Barney
Bennett, one Of the bell Boys, responded.
When he arrived at Mrs. Benson's room he
found her seated on the edge Of the bed
holding a blood stained handkerchief to her
breast. In her hand she still held the re-
volver. Bennett succeeded in wrenching
the weapon from her and Immediately re-
ported the shooting to the clerk.
AS the bell boy was leaving her room
Mrs. Benson handed him a note which she
had written, thinking that her wound would
be mortal. Later she snatched the missive
from the bell boys hand and tore 1t into
pieces. DR.. Walker. who happened to be in
the hotel once. hastily cared for the woman
and later had her sent to the hospital. Her
wound is not considered serious unless com
plications should result.
Mrs. Benson, who is pretty, is said to
have had some trouble with her husband
during the last few days. Mr.. Benson has
begun divorce proceedings against her in
the district court. He Is employed by the
firm of H. G. streight & Co., 1917 Howard
street.
Until three weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
son resided at their home, 261S Charles
street. The suit started by her husband is
said to have made Mrs. Benson respondent
and that Is the cause assigned for her act.
Unrequited love is said to have been the
cause of the attempted suicide OF Miss
Louise Cohen, who resides at Eleventh
street and Capitol avenue. at 1880 yesterday
morning. While unseen by other inmates
of the house she took a quantity Of cocaine
suficient to require the services of Police
Surgeon Mick. After her life had been
saved the would-be suicide said she wanted
to die because her affections for her lover
were not returned. After she recovered
from the effects OF the drug she was locked
up on the charge of being a disorderly per-
son and now occupies a cell at police head

BLOWS HIS HEAD NEARLY OFF
II. s. Hubbard Commits Suicide within
Few Weeks of His Wed.
ding Date.

H. 8. Hubbard, son Of Frank Hubbard, re-
siding near I%rvington, committed suicide in
q most sensational manner yesterday by
blowing his head nearly OF with a shotgun.
M cause is assigned for the act, as young
Hubbard was known to be of kindly disposi-
ton, and no trouble had arisen with the
members of his household. The man was
80 years Of age and unmarried.
Arising yesterday morning, in advance of
the other members Of the family, Hubbard
went to the blacksmith shop owned by his
father, carrying with him a short-barreled
shotgun. In the early dawn his act was un-
noticed, and the first warning that his rela-
tives had was when the echo OF the shot
came from the building. Hubbard is sup
posed to have placed the weapon in an up
right position upon the floor, rested his
head. on the barrels and pulled the trigger
with his hand. His head was badly shat
tered by the charge Which was sent into 1t
and made a CHASTITY scene.
Hubbard was to lave been welded to a
prominent I~rvington young woman during
the fore part OF February. The arrange
ments for the wedding were already pre-
pared and the bridal trip decided upon.
The victim Of his own hand was possessed
of considerable wealth.
Coroner Bradley was notified Of the shoot
ing and went to the scene of the tragedy.
He will not hold an inquest, as the evil
dence clearly indicates that Hubbard took
his own life. The deceased is survived by
his father, two brothers-one Of whom is
engaged in the commission business in
South Omaha and the other employed in
the Northwestern depot in this city-and a
sister, whose residence is in Lincoln, Neb.

A New Discovery hat Kills h Germ
and Prevents Badness.
Pretty nearly all the hair preparations for
dandruf have some merit in ~allaying itch
ing of the scalp, and in being a fairly good
dressing for the hair, but there is only one
that recognizes what causes dandruf, fall
ing hair and badness, and that destroys the
cause, a little germ-and that is Newbro's
Herpicide. This germ eats its way into the
scalp, down to the hair root, where IL saps
that vitality. causing dandruft as 1t digs up
the scalp into little white scales. Unless
1t is destroyed there's no permanent stop
