SICK AND DESERTED.
A Girl Brought From Denver to
Omaha and Deserted by
Her Seducer.

Yesterday about 4 q. M, In Carrie
Mullen's house OF ill.fame on Capitol
avenue, a girl by the nam of Jennie
Kessler gave premature birth to a child.
The history Of this girl is a sad one and
the man who brought her to her present
condition is worse than a brute.
The girl tells her story as follows: She
was a servant girl In Denver and met a
young man by the uame of William
Quinn. Quinn was a smooth.tongued
fellow and finally under promise of mar.
riage accomplished the girls ruin. A
few months found the girl In a delicate
condition and Quinn left Denver, telling
her that he would come to Omaha and
make a place for her and then would
send for her.
He came to Omaha and was engaged
as bartender for Wood, the Fourteenth
street saloonkeeper, who had such an es-
capade with his Denver mistress in this
city q few days ,ince. Subsequently
Quinn wrote to the girl to come to
Omaha and she did, 90 arriving in this
city last Monday. Qoinn did not send
her any meney, and she was obliged to
pay her own fare from Denver to this
city. Quinn did not meet her at the de-
pot, but sent a hickman, who took her
to the Cozzens hotel. She remained
there one night, when the same hackman
called and took her to the Coos hotel.
Here Quinn called upon her and told her
that it was too expensive to keep her
there, and that he would take her to a
place where she,would have company and
good care. The next day the hackman
called and took her to Carrie Mullen's,
where she has since been.
The girl received nothing but abuse at
the hands of the Mullen woman and yes
terday she was taken i'll. She was paced
in a cold room without any attendance
and there alone passed through the pangs
of child birth. DIR. Gibbs was called aud
attended to the suffering girl as best he
could. Later in the morning two police
officers called at the house and the Mul-
len woman ordered them to take the girl
away at once, saying that if she was not
moved to-day that she would throw her
out into the street. The Mullen woman
said that the girlwas not a sporting WON
an and that she would have nothing to dc
with her.
The man Quinn, who is responsible fol
all of this trouble. has skipped GU ant
nothing can be found of him. Superin-
tendent Pierce, of the poor farm, ha
been notified and as soon as the girl is il
condition to be moved she will probably
be taken to the poor house. The Mul
len woman is not a woman but has NOR,

OMAHA, Neb., January 20, 1885.
Queer things are queer, but that which is
q%ueerest to me in this comics and i~ncongru
Gus city. The first city of Nebraska and the
Great West, holding a repellant and an at.
~trsctive power alike to all classes from the
white man to the Chinaman, from beauty to
q beast. Like many another city, possess.
ing, yet failing to hide from the reportorial
BYE, its phases of upper and lower tendon, its
scandals, Its churches and christianity, its
dives and wickedness. Like many another
city, having within its own limits. yet hardly
acknowledging its political r~ivalries, its self
made msn, its romantic robberies, It's peculiar
contracts for public works, its sub rosa ''squak.
iugs," and last but not least, City Dads"
And speaking Of city dads it would please any
reader of human nature to take o glance over
the motley crowd" In this world brains
wln-hence Omaha has a, brilliant, energetic,
intelligent and poetic . crowd Of political
sharks and knaves with o king thrown in)
as one could ask to gaze upon, that is,
IL ones imaginative powers are strong and
stretching. Such q reader would feel
profound. sympathy or disgust, 1 know not
winch, Wnen gazing on sucn o crowd OF self
made men-and would think, 'Ged pity the
maker" The property owners don't use the
word pity when they speak of EN-. No,
not very often, nyway The word they use
mostly commences with ID, and a big ID at
that-and all on account of pleasant and pleas
ing internal improvements in the way of paw
ing, grading and sewerage.
Why the people should kick against paying
an enormou or excessive tex l can't under
stand; but they did, and made a test case,
which was decided in favor of the kickers by
his honor, Judge Mccullough.
And speaking of improvements, Omaha is
not.always asleep, but does at times wake up
and get action on herself. Just at present q

pect soon to know its location and see its
