LINTZ PAYS FOR HIS FOLLY
Deserts His Wife in Omaha and
Elopes to Kansas City with
Another Woman,

dispatch was received in Omaha yes
terday announcing that Max Lintz a
former saloon keeper, had been robbed of
1870 in Kansas City by a woman whom he
represented to be his wife. He left his
pocketbook in her care while he went to
purchase tickets to the theater When he
returned both woman and money were miss
ing.
Max Lintz left Omaha last Saturday night
accompanied by an unknown woman. He
had been drinking hard all day and returned
TO mis- home at Twenty-fourth and streets
In South Omaha to tell his wife that he was
going away, having made up his mind to
visit her sister in Chicago. He had drawn
$500 in cash and S4OO in government bonds
out OF the bank. He said he had had a
great time and proposed to keep it up as
long as the money lasted He bade his wife
goodbye and left early in the evening The
next she heard from him was in the form
or message Friday morning. This message
came from Kansas City and was signed Max
Brown. 1t announced that Max Lintz had
been robbed of his money and was in seri-
Gus condition. Brown asked II he could send
LintZ home. Mrs. Lintz was greatly worried
by the message and reported the matter TO
Chief White, who telegraphed the Kansas
City authorities for further light on the sub
Jecl' he received message stating that
Lintz had been "bilked" out of a part of the
money but still had $50 left. No reference
was made to the bonds or to Lintz's condi-
tion.
Mrs. Lintz was shown a clipping from
The Bee relating her husbands misfortune
and was almost prostrated by the news as
she had never distrusted him. She said she
believed he was crazy, as his mind appeared
deranged ever since the death of one of
his daughters some time ago. She wants
him brought back to Omaha in order that
he may be given the best of care. The loss
OF the money does not distress her so much
as her husbands desertion of her and their
9-year-old daughter. Mrs. Lintz says they
had saved the money between them, as he
drew a pension of $14 month and she had
been able to care for the household expenses
by keeping boarders. They had put the
money in the bank TO purchase them a home
as soon as they could. She has the sym
pathy OF all her neighbors, who know her
to be a good, conscientious, hard working
woman.
Lintz is 81 years of age. He has lived in
Omaha about twenty five years, having come
here shortly after the war, in which he
served as a member of Battery from Illi-
nois. He conducted a saloon at Twenty
fourth and streets for seven years having
sold his stock last August.
The Kansas City dispatch describes the
woman who robbed him as 80 years of age

REGISTERS A LOUD PROTEST.
Man with u Fast Horse Wants Bicy-
clists Driven or the BOule-
ward

Many citizens of Omaha who are the own
ers of good horses and who delight on pleas
ant evenings to speed along the boulevard
think there should be some arrangement
made whereby they may have the boulevard
to their own use. They allege that the pres
ence of bicycles on their popular drive mars
| the pleasure of these who have good horses
and further, makes it dangerous for both.
| There are about fifty miles of good as
| phalt pavement in this city said one of
these owners of a good horse, ION which the
bicyclists may ride, while there are just
eighteen blocks of boulevard where one may
drive horse 1t seems to me that the pleas
ure of other people in the city should be
considered as well as that of the bicyclist.
If a horse SHES after a close call with
wheelman, becomes unmanageable and dam
ages the buggy and Injuries the occupants,
it is an unfortunate event; but IL the party
injured should be the rider of the wheel, it
at once becomes criminal carelessness and
great wrong. The average wheelman shows
little respect for the comfort and safety OF
Others He comes along noselessly and
! crosses in front of your horse like a flash,
never stopping to see If a runaway has been
caused or whether anyone has been injured.
1t is unsafe for a woman to drive on the
boulevard unless her horse Is blind, deaf
and halt.
THE annoyance l have mentioned is in
creased by the presence of the female BIZ
cyclst. If a vehicle approaches her at a
good speed, instead Of drilling along on the
even tenor of her way she usually begins to
wabble her curiosity tempts her to look
bask to see who is in the buggy and in a
majority of cases, just as you are along
side, her wheel takes a shoot and passes in
front of your horse. l had experience
of this kind few evenings ago which made
my hair stand. l tried to pass one of these
women, but she would not remain on the
same side Of the road long enough to per-
NIT me to go by. How missed running her
down is a mystery to me. She finally got
up beside the curb and with one leg over
her wheel and the other standing on the
curb, she hoped along on one foot until
had driven by. What made 1t more ag-
gravating, she didn't seem to realize she
had had a narrow escape, but appeared to
feel as If she had been enjoying a little
run, while | was moppng the cold sweat
from my brow.
you may start out on little Jog and the
boulevard will seem clear of Instructions
But the minute you give your horse the
reins you scare up covey OF bicyclists,
male and female, to harass you during your
whole trip. | do not believe II is asking
too much to have the bicyclsts confne their
riding to the asphalt streets and leave the
boulevard to those who would rather ride
behind a good horse"

other case in which the county attorney dii
not get the name correctly endorsed on the
information he was not allowed to testify.
Some Fresh Evidence.
A novelty in the way OF some really fresh
evidence was contributed by Frank j. Craw-
ford, who related a conversation between
Kerr, Reid, Frank Corliss and himself which
occurred in Dempsey's saloon two or three
days before the murder. At that time Reid
said he was going up with Kerr to see Mrs.
Kerr, and Corss advised him not to go.
Reid said, "Oh, John won't hurt me. can
take care of myself" and Kerr said, "Oh
John and are all right"
Crawford said that he saw Kerr again that
night and again the next morning. That
was after Kerr and Reid had had the fight
near Mrs. Kerr's rooms and Kerr said that
he wanted to get a check cashed so he could
get out to Valley right away. He then said
that he was going there to "hx out" Reid
I for pounding him up so.
Crawford's evidence was substantially
corroborated by Frank w. Corliss
Scott Jackson, member of the colored
fire company at Twentyffth and Leaven-
worth Streets gave a version OF the fight
between Kerr and Reid at Twenty sixth and
Leavenworth streets a few days before the
murder in which he asserted that Kerr was
the aggressor. Jackson said that he was in
his room when he heard loud curses and
looked out to see Kerr and Reid fighting
in a buggy while the team appeared to he
running away. He ran out and stopped
them. Both men jumped out of the buggy
and Kerr again assaulted Reid. The wit
ncss stopped them, but Kerr came back at
Reid three times saying, You are thief
and l will kill you"
John C. Kelly, station agent at Elkhorn,
said that he saw Kerr after the fight and
before the murder. Kerr's face was badly
bruised and Kerr said his father law had
done it, During the same conversation Kerr
said that this was not the end of the mat
ter, but the end would come right at Val
ley
f. A. Doyle Of Elkhorn, who was present
during the conversation related by the pre-
vious witness, corroborated his testimony.
Mrs. Reid was recalled just before ad-
journment to testify to the age of her late
husband, which she said was between 6S
and 70.
The attorneys for the defense are expect
ing to bring the case to a close as soon as

ABUNDANCE OF TESTIMONY
Fact that John Reid Was Killed by John
Kerr is Well Established.
sMEDLEY GIVES AN INTERESTING VERSION
Relates How Kerr, After Shooting
Reid. Attempted suicide In the
Jail by sInshing mt His
Throat with Knife.

The state has practically finished its case
against John Kerr, who is charged with
the murder Of John Reid at Valley last July.
County Attorney Shields announced when
court adjourned last night that he had moth
ing more to offer except the testimony of
Coroner Swanson, Sheriff Mcdonald and
Deputy Sheriff Shand, which refers 10 the
Identification OF the shotgun and other in
animate evidence in the case, and this will
occupy only few minutes. A large number
of the witnesses who we're subpoenaed have
not been on the stand, but II Is state1 that
their services may be required in rebuttal.
Judge Baker is pushing the case with
more than ordinary vigor, even to the ex-
tent OF holding court all day Saturday, which
is unusual. The sessions begin half an hour
earlier than usual, both in the morning and
afternoon, and the court has also suggested
the possibility OF night sessions IL the case
promises to drag.
The first witness yesterday was A. A. Egg
bert, whose testimony added nothing TO evil
dence already before the Jury. He was fol-
lowed by John Smedley, who had the fight
with Kerr, Immediately after the shooting
and who was the first witness to arrive on
the scene. Smedley was employed in the
hotel and he came into Balls saloon while
Kerr was there a short time before the mur-
der. At that time Kerr told the witness
that he was going to kill John Reid Shortly
after he left the saloon
