No Matnrieties This Month.

April is the only month in the present
year when the city OF South Omaha will
not be called upon to send money to the
state fiscal agency in New York City to
take up bonds or coupons due. This is
something unusual, as for years past nearly
every month money has HAD 10 be sent east
to take up outstanding obligations. At the
end Of May, Jun and July the maturities
will not be so very large but later in the

Thereupon he put forth a document con-
tanning S21 words, without a punctuation
mark OF any sort or paragraph. It seemed
to cut shellenbarger off with a dollar. but
as soon as 1t was filed his lawyers were
going after the will with a tomahayk. They
said 1t didn't mean anything under the sun
and that no sane man could make head or
tail of 1t.
But the circuit Judge thought he could
read between the lines and gather the old
mans intentions. The main complaint OF
shellenbarger's lawyers was over the fol-
lowing alleged meaningless language:
my BelOvd Daughter is to Have the sum
OF two Hundred Dollars over and above
Her Eaquail Part of My Estate & 10 Lee
shelion Barger is to Have one Dollar he
seeing the son OF l. Binda Gipson by
Bertha Deceased"
The judge found that Shellenbarger was
TO have an equal part and one dollar be-
sides. The court held that the document
was unique in legal annals. There isn't A
said" aforesaid" nor a "whereas" in Il.
The will, however, mentions every part Of
the vast estate and exhibits a perfect
knowledge Of the smallest details of the
possessions Of the old man.

Murderer Makes Confession.

The girl was missing and the ~neighbors
searched the house. Shellenbarger's agita-
tion told something was wrong, and when
the girls body was found he confessed and
begged for mercy. He was put in Jail, but
before the day for trial came a mob broke
down the door OF the Jail and hanged him.
The woman was arrested and Jailed. but
died Of remorse before she was tried. The
little lad that SO ~miraculously survived the
terrible household tragedy was cared for
by kind people and when he grew up was
informed Of his rights in the big Gipson es-
tate in Missouri.
The case which has just come to a CLOSE
is one of the most celebrated in the state.
The decision OF the court will make Shell
lenbarger a small fortune. His share Of the
estate is valued at 500, 900.

MACON, Mo-. April 25.-(special.)-Joseph

grandson. There are twenty-five other
heirs, including the wife, children and
grandchildren Of the dead patriarch.
Ola man Gipson has peculiar ideas about

Story Filled with Tragedy.

The claimants father, Joseph shellen-
barger, met his death at the hands of a
mob In 1888. A year or 80 previous his
wife, referred to above as 81. Binda Clip
son. died, leaving two children, a girl of
~ and a boy of THE present claimant.
Shellenbarger married again and the Sec
ond wife soon learned of her stepchildrens'
expectancy. Their removal might place
their portion Of the Gipson estate nearer
to her. She conceived a dislike for the
children from the first. They were living
In Nebraska City then. She induced
her husband to consent to killing his
children. By the terms OF the pact, Shell
lenbarger was to kill the girl and his wife
the boy. He did his bloody work with a
butcher knife and buried the little body in
the cellar. The mother got an ak n
hunted up the boy, but when the little fell
low ran toward her she weakened, threw
the. ak down and cried.
