Evidence of Crookedness Discovered
Takes Morphine and Confesses.
When Harry wickman discovered
that officers had warrant charging
him with forgery he swallowed IL
morphine pills at his place OF en-
ployment Ia Moline yesterday az
ternoon for the purpose OF self
destruction. But the attempt was
unsuccessful, although the dose
was OF sufficient strength to kill
an ordinary person. Swooning I'M
der the influence OF the drug Wick
man was later taken before Justice
Kerns by Constable Tom Reno,
waived examination to the charge
against him and was placed under
81 200 bonds to await the grand jury's
action. Wickman resides at 1909
Second avenue, this city, and has a
wife and three small children. For
the past two years he has been en-
gagged as bookkeeper for the Twin
City Ice company, Moline Stone
company and the Twin-City Coal
company. which has joint headquar-
tiers Just over the line in Moline.
Prior to this he had been employed
at factory Offices at Sears, also in the
Rock Island postofiice and in the
hardware store OF Stewart Il Mont
gomery.

the discovery was only made yester
day. When committed to Jail Wick
man became sick from the effects o
the morphine, and DIR. Myers wa
summoned and administered for him
Eventually he sobered up and con
fessed his guilt to Sheriff Hemenway
but claimed that he did not realiz,
that the amount was rs great as tina
represented by his employers. Wick
man further confessed his attempt a
self-destruction. Learning the dis
covery OF his crookedness, he pur
chased 500 morphine pills and too
large dose with the hope Of bein
n corpse when the officers arrived
The bottle was found in his posses
sion when searched Mt the Jail.
Women Partially Responsible.
The principal cause for Wickman
downfall was his iniatuation for othe
women, on whom he squandere
more money than his salary pei
mitted. Twice he got into troub
with q man from Moline, for elena
ing his wife's affections.
His former use of morphine
probably what saved Wickman's lif,
Three years ago he was addicted

generosity of friends, who paid 4
his treatment ut an institute. Tu
years ago he secured his Moline pos
ton and claims he kept away fro

OMAHA, Nov 23-A storm has been
twenty-four hours that has seriously
interfered with railroad business. All
day yesterday traffic in the west was
badly delayed, but reports received
this evening indicate that the fury Of
the storm has been spent and better
conditions prevail. The storm was
most severe on the 500 miles between
Cheyenne and Ogden. The wind blew
at the rate of 60 miles an hour from
the northwest with a binding snow
storm in progress and the mercury at
zero. Passenger trains on the Union
Pacific had a hard time of it, but were
able to keep fairly close to schedules.
The freights did not fare so we'll. The
velocity of the wind made schedule
time impossible and the wind and snow
made it impossible for the trainmeu
to do their work with any degree of
promptness. All business was more or
less blocked and it was not until this
morning that the wind abated and the
storm broke.
Reports at the Burlington show that
a light snow fell throughout Nebraska.
four inches being reported at Eckley
and light falls all the way from Hold
redge to Lyons. The mercury did not
go so low in Nebraska, the minimum
temperature being reported at Hold
redge at s above. On the Wyoming
division of the Burlington there was
much snow. The black hills were
covered and eight inches are reported
at Billings. In Wyoming and South
Dakota it was more severe than il
many years.
