from the east bound tram on Tuesday
night between Willow Island aud Plum
Greek, Nebraska. 1t Was noticed by
the passengers shortly after the train
left Ogden that she Was insane. The
sleeping Car conductor and porter
watched her closely aud prevented her
from jumping off several times. She
turned over her money, jewelry, aud
other valuables to the Pullman conduc-
tor for safe keeping, aud told him to
give her watch to his wife, which would
indicate that she premeditated suicide.
She told the Pullman conductor that
her husband left her about year ago,
and lives at Vallejo, California. She
has two brothers living in San Fran
cisco, and another in Central CITY,
Colorado. She was going from Vallejo
to her mother, Mrs. j. A. Newcombe,
in Bath, Maine. Search has been made
for her since early yesterday morning,
and all the track men on that part of
the road have been ordered to look out
for her, but up to this hour no trace
nor clue has been discovered, aud it is
feared she wandered away from the
railroad.
