Plan to Equip
City Fairgrounds
Superintendent Davidson to Take Up
Movement with Omaha As
ISOLATION.

AS soon as the cadets get back from
camp at Harlan, Ia, Superintendent David
son will take up with the Omaha Play
ground association the matter OF equipping
at least one large playground this season.
The place now most favored, and which
will very likely be selected is the large
vacant tract of ground between Cunning
and Burt streets, beginning at Twenty
eighth avenue and extending west two
blocks.
From the net proceeds of the athletic
meets given this year and last by the
Omaha High school something like 800 has
been realized for furthering the playground
proposition, and the Omaha Woman's club,
which originated the movement in this
city, has enough more on hand to be de-
voted to the project to bring the avail
able amount up to about $1,000.
Il. F. Denison, director OF boys work
for the Young Mems Christian assocla-
ton, will be actively in charge of the
playground arrangements.

A Great Treat

The lecture OF Happiness"
delivered by Frederick S., Att
wood, the blind optimist. at the
Odd Fellows Hall on Tuesday
evening, was largely attended
by the members of the Knights
of Pythias lodge and their
friends and was rare treat for
all who heard it. The subject
was handled in a masterly man
ner by the speaker who fairly
radiat9d with sunshine and
happiness. The lecture was one
that would dispel the "blues !"
and bring sunshine into the
hearts of many. The speaker
has been blind since a young
man but he seems to know just
how to continue to get enjoy
ment out Of life, nOtwithstand-
ing his affiiction. Washburn
people would be pleased to hear
him again on some other occa
sion.

DietZ Case Dramatized

The people OF Washbnrn have a
rare dramatic treat III store, for
Manager w. T. Meade has secured
foe one night, Wednesday Nov. 80,
the lat st stage sensation, The
Defender of Cameron Dam.
This r aIistical four act comedy
drama is based upon the recent
thrilling event in Sawyer County,
ard is the work of Harlowe Randall
Hoyt, who was on the spot.
No man, woman or child who ad-
mires manhood and advent tpre can
afford to miss the realistic scenes OF
this drama. The dynamiting of the
dam is one of the startling climaxes
and the closing act shows the last
stand in the cabin, from the prayer
at sunrise to the final flag Of truce.
A big metropolitan company and
special scenery and mechanical
and light effects have been provid-
ed by the Milwaukee Amusement
Company.
You cannot afford to miss this
and keep up with the times.

Announced Closing Of Stearns
Mill Friday
Plant has had a Successful
Run. Repairs are to be
Made This Winter.

The long whistle was blown at
the mill of the Stearns Lumber
company in this city last Friday
noon which announced that the
plant had ceased operations for
the season. The formation of
ice in the log slips and among
tile logs in the pond made it
difficult for the boom men and it
was thought best to close at this
time. The plant has run almost
steadily night and day since the
opening of navigation and had a
most successful run. A large
amount of lum mber and lath has
been cut. but as the figures for
the cut are not kept in this city
we were unable to get the
amount.
The mill will be closed down
for short time when crew of
men will be put to work making
the necessary repairs s
the plant will be ready for a big
run again next season. A small
crew of men will be kept at work
the greater part of the winter.

and this too was marked with
blood. Evidently the shoot:
ing took place while one or
the other was lying in bed, for
There was d pool of blood in
the bed. There was also
blood stained clothing lying
on a trunk in the bed room.
Both of the occupants in the
house were attired in their
night clothing.
The shooting was done at
very close range, for powder
marks we're found in the
wounds Of both parties, and d
powder burn was found on the
left hand of Mrs. O'Neil.
Evidence presented before
the coroner's jury would tend
to show that the revolver was
one possessed by Smith, bull
let's for the same gun having
been found in his clothing
which was found in the house.
The question as to who did
the shooting is the one that
the coroner's jury are now
trying to solve and they will
keep after the case until they
have arrived at some conclu-
sion.

Officers Trying to Solve
Shooting Affray.
Mrs. John O'Niel Killed and
George E. Smith Shot
Through Body.

considerable mystery sur
rounds the shooting affray
which took place in this city
last Saturday morning at
about seven o'clock when
Mrs John O'Neil lost her life,
having been shot through the
body, and George E. Smith
was badly wounded with two
shots through the lungs.
The first known of the case
was when Smith rushed onto
the porch at the Frank Gray
residence, bleeding profused-
ly from his wounds. and asked
for admission. Mr.. Gray i'm
mediately notified officers and
doctors who rushed to the
scene and the man was taken
to the Office Of DR.. j. r. Nit
cnell, where his wounds were
dressed. The officers went to
the O'Niel residence and there
found the lifeless body Of
Mrs. O'Neil lying in the door
way between the parlor and
the dining room, three bullets
having gone through her
body, which caused death.
Little can be learned that
will cast any light that would
help solve the mystery that
surrounds the case. Smith
has stated to doctors that he
had been stopping at the
house, occupying a room up
stairs, and that during the
morning he had gone down
to the room of Mrs. O'Neil
and was sitting on the edge of
the bed when she began firing
at him, the two shots taking
effect just over the heart, 60
ing completely through the
body. He says that Mrs.
O'Niel then turned the gun
upon herself and fired three
shots. This story the man
sticks to. The circumstances
surrounding the case are of a
peculiar nature and it will be
a hard matter for the jury to
arrive at any agreement.
The condition of the house
where the body of Mrs. O'Neil
was found was a chastity
sight. The bedclotaing, floor
and walls were spattered with
blood, and there was large
pool of blood where the body
was found. There was no
signs that would indicate that
there had been d struggle, all
furniture in the house being
in place. The revolver from
which the shots had been fired
was found lying upon the floor
under the arm of Mrs. O'Neil
