IURDER CHARGE FOR HENRY

ner's Jury at Inquest.
.wO SAY THEY SAW SHOT FIRED
accused IL stu at Large and with
Him f. Believed 60 BE j.. w.
strInEer, wanted a. y
witness.

Frank L. Henry, though still at large
md defying the skill Of Omaha police. is
held on the charge OF murder in the
first degree by the verdict Of the c%oroner's
Jury that conducted the inquest into the
death Of Maud Henry.
Letitia Clayton, 1916 L~eavenworth street
colored, and Charles H.. Johnson. 500 South
Twentieth street, white, testified that they
saw Henry kill his wife. johnson is the
man who gave chase when Henry fled
from the scene. He testified Henry fired
five shots.
johnson, a teamster for the Merchants
Transfer company, gave this testimony:
Il was standing at Fourteenth and Lea
venworth when l heard some qusrreling
and walked down between Fifteenth and
sixteenth on ~IIeavenwJrth. 1 found the
quarreling was ut SC2 SOutl Fifteenth street
and then 1 heard three shots fired, and
saw a woman fall on the porch in the
rear Of this house. Henry ian away from
this porch with the pistol in his hand.
He went down Fifteenth and disappeared
in the alley next to Sixteenth street. 1,
with Galloway, Henry's brother-in-law,
and a man named Gardner, ran after
Henry, who then fired two more shots
in the direction of the rear porch. We
could not catch Henry"
Letitia Clayton, a laundress, said:
Il was rocking a baby on the porch at
t416 Leavenworth. where 1 work, and
when 1 saw an alteration between a nan
and a woman over at his house Qndicat-
ing the house at 500 South Efficiently. 1
ran out and then l saw Henry slap his
wife in the face. Soon he fired two shots
at her and she fell on thu perch. He pulled
the gun from his poke, and after he had
shot her he ran away and while he ran
put the pistol back in his pocket. He ran
%northward on Fifteenth street."
The man, ]. w. Stringer, who also is
said to have seen Henry shoot the woman,
did not appear at the inquest, nor has he
yet been found. The police still believe he
may be the companion Of Henry in his
boat that drifted off I~eisurely down the
river. affording the alleged murderer a
means Of escape from the officers.
Speculation is rife concerning Stringer's
disappearance. The police declare he will
be put in Jail IL caught, as it is believed he
may be able to give valuable testimony
against Henry, n at least can swear that
he saw the man shoot Mrs. Henry.
Stringer lived at sos North Eighteenth
street, just six blocks north Of Henry's
home. He is a painter by trade and was
working for a secondhand dealer named
Simon until he disappeared. Numerous in
quiries for him at his room and place Of
work failed to give any trace of him, and
IL is said that he has not been seen by
acQualntances in Omaha since Monday.

LET FOR HILL LINE
Second Wyoming Burlington Will Be
Built by McArthurs.
TO COST THREE OR FOUR MILLION
This VIII Establish Link between
Lines Across wyoming and Az
ford Omaha Greater outlet
SO Northwest.

The Burlington has let the contract for
building the expensive line from Kirby to
a point west of Shoshoni. wyo., through
the Big Horn gorge. The successful bid
ders are Macarthur Bros, the large con-
tracing firm which recently bought out
fitzpatrick Bros. e. Collins and more re-
Gently established headquarters in the Nc
Cague block in Omaha.
The cost Of this line will be between
1900, 900 and 1900, 900. making it one OF the
most expensive pieces Of railroad work in
the west. This great expense is caused in
a large measure by the fact tina for eleven
miles through the Big Horn gorge the line
will have to be cut along the ledge of
almost perpendicular rocks far enough
above the water of the river that 1t may
cross the Boysen dam now installed at
the entrance to the gorge.
The awarding Of this contract means a
great deal more than a mere short line in
central Wyoming; IL establishes a connect
ing link between the Burlington lines of
the Big Horn basin and the Burlington
lines in southern Wyoming. 1t means a
second low-grade line for the Burlington
across the state Of Wyoming and a second
line from Omaha 70 the great northwest,
While the contract calls for building the
line only as far south as a point west of
S~hoshoni to meet the Northwestern line
from Lander east it is more than probable
that a working agreement will be made
with the Northwestern whereby the Bur
lington will use the Northwestern from
shoshoni to Grin Junction until such time
as the Burlington can build a line OF its
own.
One Line Overcrowded.
The Burlington at present has more
business thar can be we'll handled over its
single track road from Onlah to Billings
and the second line is a nee essity. because
Of the large volume of business which has
been added by reason OF the new onnec-
ton of the Burlington with the Great
Northern at Billings by the Great Falls
cut off.
The new line will open up one of the
greatest health resorts in the world. The
waters of Thermopolis arc already far
famed and when they are n.edc accessible
by the new road they are 81 re to become
popular. A new sanitarium has already
been built at Thermopolis where the hot
waters boil from the ground. ~
Grin Junction is the 9olnt where the Colo
RADIO g. Southern now connects with the
Northwestern. The Colorado & Southern
is owned by the Burlington, but II has
not been definitely decided whether the
Burlington will build from Shoshoni to
Grin Junction or to meet the Burlington
at Guernsey.

Standpatters Turned Down.

Washington, Dec. -Insurgent Re-
publicans are being turned down all
along the line, not only in Congress,
but by the administration.
Maurice D. O'Connell, solicitor of
the Treasury, for twelve years resi-
dent of the home city of Senator
Dolliver, in Iowa, is to go, and the
accepted explanation is that the posi-
ton is too good to be conceded to an
insurgent. Not long ago Western
'insurgent member of Congress went
to the Post Office Department to urge
the appointment of a Postmaster
whom he had recommended. The
Congressman was turned down.
Senator La Follette's experience
with district attorneyship in Wis
consin is pointed out as evidence in
the same direction. The Senator rec
commended a man for the place about
six months ago, and no appointment
has yet been made, but Wisconsin
politicians have been assured that the
man named by Senator La Toilette
will not get the place.
The census patronage Of Wisconsin
was largely taken away from the
delegation and turned over to the
chairman of the Republican State
Central C Committee, who is one of the
anti-La Toilette leaders.

gro Troops.

Washington, Dec. l3.-Conclusive
evidence is said to have been obtain
ed by the military court of inquiry in
to the shooting up" Of Brownsville,
Texas, that members of the Twenty
fifth Infantry, negro regiment who
were within the fort, fired on the
town at the time their companions
were racing through the streets,
shooting right and left. In the riot
at Brownsville the night of August
10, 1906, one civilian was killed and
several wounded. Following the
riot 1877 soldiers were discharged up
on their failure to tell who did the
shooting.
None Of the members of the court
Of inquiry would discuss the matter,
but it is intimated that a demand for
the abolition Of the negro troops,
which areFprovided for by law, will
be madeIby the Southern delegations
in congress. Thus the bitter debate
that marked the final days of the
Roosevelt administration threatens to
be renewed. Officers of tn ecourt, it is
reported, examined buildings across
the road from the fort in Brownsville.
Continuing their investigations they
found the bullets which were of the
regulation Army design. Following
back the line ofIfire, as shown by the
track of thei bullet, the marksman
could have been nowhere else than
within the barracks.
The congressional defenders of the
negro infantrymen held that the only
firing in the town was done by men
of the Twenty-fifth who had broken
parole, andlthat ex-President Roose-
welt, in 'discharging two companies
with individual military trials, had
worked severe injustice on both
the companies and the regiment
