SEQUEL.
That Nude Woman Creates a ) sensation
In Omaha.

In THE LEADER of yesterday and the
day before notices were made of a bru-
nctte beauty who was making a trip over
the Union Pacific eastward IN pura notu
rdliJis, whatever that is, and the follow
ing from the Omaha Republican of Fri
day gives the sequel.
When No. ., the Union Pacific over
land train, pulled in yesterday morning,
the second day coach was vacant, save for
a solitary female, who, without a thread
of y%esture, panded the aisle in the wild
est fashion. The platforms at both ends
of the coach were crowded with male
passengers, who peered through the
doors at the strange exhibition within,
and, as the train ran into the depot,
shouted and yelled in uproarous and
uncouth glee at the crowds on the plat
form.
\ telegram from Papillion had pre-
ceded the train, announcing the presence
of the cranky passenger and requesting
the assistance of the police to repress
her. Three or four police officers had
been summoned, and the watchmen and
able-bodied employees of Soth the Union
Pacific and Burlington & Missouri depots
were conscripted into service. The corps
in advance were armed with blankets de-
spoiled from u Pullman coach and were
all m the alert for a scrimmage. Memo
ries OF the recent tragedy with the lunatic
at Chicago on the Wabash train were ap-
parent, as the policemen detailed for the
attack were backed with Il Gordon of men
armed with pistols, and the Wells Fargo
cal bines that covered the windows of the
objective coach. As the train checked up,
a trainman quickly unlocked the rear
door of the car and the blanket brigade
sprang to the platform and burst into the
coach. The woman, with a demoniacal
scream, ran forward and made frantic eff
forts to take down the ax in the fire i'm
plement rack, but as it was cleated in, her
efforts failed. and the Deelers were in an
instant upon Eer with their trammeling
blankets. She was enveloped from head
to foot and bound and dashed SO that her
struggles for release were unavailing.
She was then carried into the waiting
room where a lady, learned to be her
travelling companion, half crazed with
grief, rushed to her side from the throng
of passengers who had been driven to
other cars. The friend administered some
soothing potion to the unfortunate
woman, under the subtle, calming power
of which she fell asleep. To the police
who made preparations TO put the
woman under restraint, the friend begged
that she might not be molested. and per-
mitted to continue her eastward jousney.
She said further that her crazy eompan-
ion was subject to such fits, which could
only be ayerted by the drugs they carried
with them and that by some mischance
they had forgotten the prescription that
morning, Seeing that the patient was
restored to quiet of mind, the officers
permitted her to leave, and crossing the
river she took the Rock Island train for
the east.
The rational lady who did the talking
begged not to be compelled to reveal their
Identities nor from whence they came and
whittier going. 1t is learned, however,
that they boarded No > yesterday morn
ing at Fremont and came here on a local
trip ticket. Their baggage indicates that
one Of the two is Mary +. Lamsley, of
Dayton, Ohio, and a paster on their trunk
indicates that they have been in Corinne,
Utah.
The passengers in the coach said that
when the women took the train at Ere
mont nothing suspicious was noticed in
the conduct Of either, but within five min.
utes the ono who afterwards proved de-
mcntcd went into the closet and shortly
issued forth Invested Of clothing, and
swearing instant death TO all within her
reach. The passengers rose as one man
and proceeded to yacate the car, the
woman meanwhile screaming like mad,
but making no assault. After that the
coach was left alone to her, and during
the two hours run she pranced up and
down, shouting, singing, leering back at
the wonder struck travellers on the plat
form, and occasionally firing parcels and
baggage out of the windows. No one
dared to touch her, and she remained
undisturbed until the train reached this
point.
