DEAD IN GREEN LAKE.
Melancholy Suicide Of Woman About to
become q Mother Cruel Treatment.

Become q Mother Cruel Treatment.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: The
search for Mrs. Phillipena Peissner,
wife of Herman Peissner who dis
appeared from her home near Green
lake Saturday afternoon. came to an
END yesterday morning when Guy
Wood discovered her body floating in
Green lake near the terminus of the
electric car line. The water was not
deep enough to have reached her
mouth, so there can be hardly a rques-
ton that she deliberately committed
suicide. The poor woman expected to
become a mother In a short time, and
the people of Green Lake were open in
their expressions to Coroner Askam
that Peissner had not treated her prop
erly. Peissner, on the other hand. told
the coroner that he and his wife had
disagreed about private affairs, but
that he had not abused her.
AS soon as the body was discovered
the coroner was notified. He started
Tor Green Lake. accompanied by Depu-
~ Sheriff McCorry. and after viewing
the body had II removed to Butter
worth's undertaking rooms, where the
inquest will be held this morning at IL
O'Clock. The body showed no signs of
blows, although information was given
TO the oficials that Peissner struck his
wife with stick or club Saturday aft
ernoon previous to her running awav
from home. Some of the most reputa-
BILE citizens of Green Lake said IL was
a notorious fact that Mrs Peissner was
fll-treated by her husband. The coro-
ner asked Peissner what he had to saw
about the AFFAIR and he replied that his
wife had been i'll for several weeks At
the expense of the county she was
given medical treatment and the at
tending physician told him she would
become insane.
Did the doctor give any reason for
her becoming insane?" asked the cor
oner.
mo, sir" replied Peissner. I'm broken
English, he did not"
Peissner went on to say that he and
his wife had had trouble about pron-
erty. He had taken eight lots. but
could not pay for them, and so lost Ali |
but two. His wife was anxious TO cIing
TO all eight, and upon that point they |
disagreed.

BANDITS.
Robbed a Train at
Midnight.
The East Bound Overland
Flyer Held Up.
Outlaws Looted the Train After the
Fashion Of Story Books.
Blew Up the Express Car With Dyna-
mite-Onicers on Their Track.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Aug. p. Ban
dts captured the east bound overland
flyer about midnight. The engine was
cut off and sent forward in the regulation
style OF Jesse James order, while the
outlaws looted the train at their pleasure.
No particulars as to the amount OF Doodle
have been received.
Officers are in pursuit OF the highway
men. The train held up was north bound.
1t left North Platte at IL p. m, and car
ried full complement OF coaches and
express cars. The country in the vicinity
of the hold-up is fairly well settled and
the authorities and police will have no
trouble IN following the outlaws. All
were heavily armed and a conflict is quite
probable. The train is due in Omaha at
10. 10 a. m. The robbers blew up the ex-
press car with dynamite. While they
were using the engineer to get the express
car open, the fireman ran of with the
engine to Gothenburg for assistance.
There were three men visible according
to conductor Flynn's account Two OF the
gang got on the train at Brady Island,
going forward over the tender after the
train started, and with revolver drawn,
held up the fireman and engineer, and
compelled the engineer TO go back to the
baggage car and obtain admittance for
them by informing the baggage man that
they were held up and that the robbers
had gun at his head.
Once inside the car, the expressman
was compelled TO open the safe. He could
not open the larger combination safe and
the robbers proceeded to blow the top
out of il with dynamite
In the meantime, the fireman managed
to give the robbers the slip and, uncoupl-
ing the engine, made the run to Gothen-
burg for posse of men to help capture
the bandits. In a short time, 20 volun-
teers were en- route for the scene of the
robbery, but before they arrived the rob-
bers had disappeared.
The bandits wore black slouch hats and
black silk handkerchiefs for masks.
They were roughly dressed and evident
ly had come in from the hills.
The windows were all blown out Of the
baggage car by the explosion. The pas
sengers on board heard the explosion,
but were not molested. The section fore
man at Vroman has seen some men
around TIE place for several days, and
has good description OF them. Posses
have been sent out from North Platte and
Brady Island, and every effort is being
made to locate the robbers before they
get out of the country. 1t is impossible
TO learn the amount secured.
