Attempt to Suicide.

Attempt to Suicide.
Eva McLaine, who was arrested yesterday
afternoon on the charge of being drunk and
disorderly, last night made what is thought
to have been a pretense at attempting sui
eide. She was very drunk and was confined
In a cell with several other women. To one
of them she suddenly said that she intended
to commit suicide. and drawing a jack knife
she waved it in the air preparatory to taking
the plunge which would land her in the
other world. Before she could thrust the
knife into her throat as she said she in
tended to do, the other woman eeizsd her
and held her until the Jail officials were
summoned. They took the knife away from
her and she lay down to sleep.
The McLaine woman had several mar
row escapes from death. She is a morphine
fiend, and on several occasions has taken 50
much of the drug that she almost died. On
at least one occasion 1t was suspected that
she took the drug with the intention of COM
hitting suicide. She has frequently told
her acquaintances that she intended to put
an end to herself, but these threats were
made usually when she was drunk. At one
time it is said that she expected a legacy
of $3.50 900 with which she intended to cut
a great swath in the realm of the local demi
monde, but the legacy In some way failed to
connect and ever since she has been morose

is SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Negro Held I'm Omaha Till Memphis
liz Heard From.

Yesterday afternoon a negro, who gave the
name of Tom Van, was arrested as a sus-
picious character, it being suspected that he
is a man who is wanted at Memphis, Tenn,
for a murder committed in 1898. The arrest
was made on information impaired by ac-
quaintances of the prisoner to the arresting
officers, Hudson and Bloom. Van strenuously
denies that he has ever been In Memphis
and, although strongly questioned by Cap
tain Haze, made no discriminating statements.
He will be held under arrest until the Mem
phis authorities can be heard from.
Van Is supposed to be Sam Christians.
Christians, with a number OF companions. one
Of them named Earnest, were playing cards
one night in 1893 in a saloon known as the
White Elephant, 300 Front street, in Mem
phis. The card party broke up in a row in
which two men were killed, one Of them
being the man named Earnest. Earnest was
| stabbed in the heart by Christians while
| standing at the head of a flight of stairs.
He fell to the bottom and was picked up
dead. Christians made his escape, although
others of the party were arrested, and has
not turned up since.
From the information given to the officers
Christians was a hard man. Several years
before he was accused of killing a man, but
escaped conviction. Since he killed Earnest
however, he appears to have kept quiet, and
has not been heard from, unless Van is the
man.
Van has something. Of an unsavor,
character among the police here

charged against him, so far as
known. He has been in the city for {
year, a portion of this time being in the
employ of the Barber Asphalt company. He
has a mistress, a colored woman, who
though she has not been in the city long

the alleged interview with him published in

Interesting Point in

An interesting case is now pending in the
New York court Of appeals, based on a suit
TO recover on an accident insurance policy.
The plaintiff was a railway shop worker, who
lost in 1899 the four fingers, part of the
thumb and a portion of the palm of his right
hand. The policy was for 81, 900 and provided
that in case of Gloss by severance Of one
entire hand or foot" the insured should be
entitled to receive one-th,rd of the principa,
UNI, or $666. &c. The insurance company
contests payment on the pea that the plaintiff
has not lost lone entire hand" although II
is difficult to understand just what value can
be placed upon the hand in it's present cur
tailed condition. If the defendant wins the
case justice should call for an amendment to
the law which makes such a decision possible,
