All the Passengers in a Pullman Car.
A Wilmingtonian who was coming
from Chicago recently had rough OK
perience on Pullman ear. The story
as related on Sunday by the gentleman
to a reporter of Every Evening is as
follows:
We were travelling through Indiana
at night. Early in tho evening the
passengers in my sleeper noticed fine.
looking woman enter at one of the sta
tions. She acted strangely and we no.
ticed that che was intoxicated. She
was trifle noisy, but became quiet
soon after retiring.
IAN went well until the porter
OF the car saw man, who had
evidently made mistake, trying
TO get into the berth where the
intoxicated woman was sound asleep.
Tho porter informed him of his error
and he was about TO move away and
go 10 his own berth when the woman
awoke, and catching hold of the man,
tried TO choke him. She thought he
intended mischief. and would un.
doubtedly have killed the man il
others had not interfered. She began
to curse the man, and the noise
aroused everybody in the car The
porter and several Of tho passengers
went TO the rescue Of the frightened
individual, and after fight with the
woman, succeeded in freeing him from
her grin.
" AS soon as the man was taken away
from the woman she picked mp a re-
yolyer and threatened to shoot every.
body in the car because she was not
allowed to get satisfaction out OF the
supposed intruder. After about half
an hoW's hilarity the woman was put
back 70 bed and quietness was restored.
She made things lively while she was
in the aisle and there was not a person
in thu car who felt very safe while sho
was about. ~

Omaha Startled by II KevoltinE Crime
Outraged and Choked to Death.
Omaha, Neb., Nov AT 3 O'Clock
this morning the police found the body
of Ida Gaskin, aged II years, in va
cant room on Hoard street. She had
been outraged and then choked to
death. She had been missing since
last evening. Her mother searched for
her but failed to find any trace Of her.
About IL o'clock she reported to the
police station that her daughter had
disappeared. When the police search
developed the murder, three hours
later, three young men, Ed. Sanford,
George Morgan and Booker, were ar
rested, charged with the murder.
While all were out Of the room, save
Mrs, Gaskin, her little son and re-
porter, the little boy said: II know
who killed Ida.
On being questioned he said that dur
ing the afternoon, George and Ed.
sent me upstairs to tell Ida they
wanted her.
The reporter learned that George
and Ed" were George Morgan and Ed.
Sanford and that they occupied rooms
on the floor below. Hurriedly calling
an officer, the reporter secured the ar
rest of the pair. At the station, most
damaging evidence was found on Nor
gan's person.
The little girl had been choked to
death, her throat showing plainly
where the fingers had left their i'm
print.
Booker is driver of coal wagon
and had been friend of the Gaskin
family. Morgan is collar-maker by
trade, but has been out of employment
for some time Sanford works for the
Crane Elevator Co. 1t is the opinion
of the police that the case is oonclu-
sive against Morgan.
