In A PITIABLE PLIGHT.
A Woman In which Rock Island May
be Interested, Heartiessly Deserted,
but Helped by the Omaha Police.


An Omaha paper has the following
which may involve more or less interest
to Rock Island:
A sad case of sickness developed at
No. 1910 Davenport street, this morning.
Mrs. Leeder. wife of the ex-councilman,
rents rooms at the above number. While
this lady was out of the city Saturday her
housekeeper rented room to one Will
liams, a Western Union telegraph opera
tor. Williams represented that his wife
had just arrived from the east, and the
two were given room that had formerly
been occupied by Williams and fellow
operator, Martin, also employed by the
Western Union. After Williams and the
woman had occupied the same room until
morning. Williams left and has not been
seen since. At l o'clock Monday the
woman, whom he represented as his wife,
gave premature birth to a child. She is
now lying at the point of death
Since the unfortunate young woman
was taken sick she has made confes-
sion. Her story is that she was employed
at the Globe hotel as dining room girl.
Prior to her coming to Omaha her home
was in Rock Island, Ill.
Last summer, while in Muscatine, la /,
she met man named Miller. who be-
trayed her and was the father of her
child. On July Miller was accidentally
shot and killed. This was after they
were engaged to be married. She then
came to Omaha and has worked here al
different places since.
Williams and Martin, she claims were
her friends, but it is fact they deserted
her when she was at the point of death
and needed friend if she ever did Both
these men have resigned their positions
with the Western Union Telegraph com
pany.
Her affidavit made before George W
Peck, notary public, was to the effec'
that Miller was the father of the illegiti
mate child and that the miscarriage wa
wholly caused by her slipping and falling
on the sidewalk. Doctors Coe and
Nichols are attending her.
Her name, she says, IS Minnie Burger
The police have raised $35, which the
gave to her today. as she was left PENN
less. Had Mrs. Leeder been at hom
when the woman was brought TO be
house, 1t is not likely that she would hav
been admitted, but now the woman ]
too sick to be moved.
Williams is strongly suspected by tn
police of knowing too much about tn
affair. aud if he can be found there is n
doubt that he will be arrested. Detec
tive Ormsby is still working on the ces,
