i"~ch S'Nts WOod Doesn't Believe
It-Others Ditto, Maybe.
From the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
Omaha, Neb., July 31.-Hazel Silvis
Wood who tried to kill herself because
she could not borrow SIS, refuses to
believe that she is heir to a fortune es-
timated at 81 1000, 900 left by her father,
James B. Silvis, of Tallahassee. Fla.
The physicians told the young woman
of the legacy, and in proof of it point
ed out the costly flowers which had
been placed in the room.
"The Christian Home people have
brought those" she said.
While the local attorneys represent
ing the estate were searching the city
to discover the whereabouts of a Miss
Silvis the girl was attempting self-de-
struction by morphine in the belief that
she was without friends and money.
The lawyers learned her identity
through the newspapers.
At the direction of County Attorney
Shields Police Surgeon Borglum, who
attended the girl. has been succeeded
by the most skilful physicians in
Omaha hospitals. They have given as
surances of their patients recovery.
The squalid apartment where she swal-
lowed the morphine on Saturday night
has been equipped with electric fans
and converted into bower of roses.
County Attorney Shields this morn
ing filed with County Judge Vinsonha-
Ter petition for the probate of Silvis'
will. Appended Is a memorandum that
DR.. Baldwin of Elkhorn, will purchase
Immediately for $4,000 the 160-acre
farm near Elkhorn, owned by the de-
cedent. The will specified that in Leon
county, Fla, Silvis left orange groves
and bank stock valued at nearly a mil
lion dollars. The sum is estimated by
the revenue stamps attached to the
petition.
Silvis was the first photographer to
locate in Nebraska. He came to the
state and secured from the government
the land at Elkhorn in 1859. Twenty
two years later he moved to Florida on
account of his health. Shortly after
wards he married, he and his wife
separating after living a few years to-
gether unhappily. The mother and
daughter went to Spartansburg. Fla,
losing track of the father. The girls
first husband died. The second was
unkind to her. A few months ago she
resolved to make her own way in the
world, and came to Omaha. She has a
son years old.

Negro of Aberdeene, Miss, Got His
BOY From the Police.

Negro OF Aberdeen ne, MISS, Got HIS
BOY From the Police.
Robert E. Ward, the 19-year-old col
ored man arrested by the police for
vagrancy several days ago. and who
turned out to be demented, left yester-
day with his father, F. N. B. Ward, for
his home at Aberdeene, Miss. The
young negro's case is a rather sad one,
although his father has reason to be-
ment.
Young Ward IS a graduate of the
Aberdeene normal school and is a
Latin scholar of some consequence. He
left his home in 1900 and went to New
Orleans. In March of that year he left
on a transport, loaded with mules,
consigned to the English government
at Cape Town, South Africa. Ward
enlisted in the Imperial Hospital Corps
in Africa, and remained there until
last May when he went to London.
He was taken sick and arrived in
New York last month insane. He was
taken to Bellevue Hospital and there
stated that he was from Savannah. The
authorities in that city placed him on
a boat and sent him here. where he
was found wandering on the streets by
the police.
His father learned of his arrival in
New York and was told that the sick
man had been shipped to Savannah. He
wired Supt. Reilly and learned that his
son had already been arrested as
vagrant. He Immediately left for this
city and arrived yesterday. The elder
Ward is a carpenter and is man of
some means. He does not consider his
sons condition alarming, and in fact
decided improvement has been no.
ticed since his confinement He real
ICES what he is held for. and says that
he has a strange feeling in his head.

From the New York Tribune.
Magistrate Flammer In the Essex
Market Court yesterday adjourned the
hearing in the case of ]. Overton
Paine, the broker, until Sept. 4. Paine
is charged with swindling a customer
in a stock transaction. Magistrate
Flammer ordered ex-Judge Swansig to
draw up a formal complaint against
Paine, and told ABE" Gruber and Mr..
McManus, who represented Paine, that
he believed 1t advisable for Paine to
furnish $1,000 bonds pending the exam
ination of the case. Paine was not in
court, much to the disappointment of
a deputy sheriff who was waiting to
arrest him on a warrant obtained by
William Toole, who alleged that he in
vested $1,000 with Paine and never got
any return for his money.

While those back of the effort to

disappointed by the disarrangement of

IN the championship class are tied up

that there need be no doubt that the

TOOK MAYORS HAT.
Some One Left N Better Grade of
straw, However.

Some one switched hats with Acting
Mayor Dixon in the City Exchange yes
terday, and the city official is wearing
a better grade of straw, although a
half size too large. The Mayor has
quite a number of callers during his
stay at the Exchange, and is at a loss
to know who could have gotten hold Of
his bonnet.
But for the fact that the hat left on
the rack is a little better quality Mr..
Dixon would be tempted to believe that
his hat was taken purposely. He thinks
that he is the winner by the mistake,
however, and If the owner of the hat
does not show up, the Acting Mayor
will probably get pad and make the
hat to fit him. At first II was believed
that the hat had been left by Alder
man Watson, but this. turned out 10
be a mistake.

woMAN,s VICIOUS WORK.
Almost Cut Mans Shoulder OF With
Razor.


Willie Williams, colored, of No. 555
Roberts street, was badly cut yester-
dav with a razor, by Rebecca. Mungin,
at her home, No GIG New street. The
woman was held by a citizen and
turned over to Patrolman Umbach,
who was sent to the West Side from
beadouarters. She is charged with as
sault with intent to murder and will
be given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.
Williams claims that the assault was
without provocation, although he ad-
mits that the razor used is his prop
ertv. The cut is on the left shoulder,
about eight inches long and quite deep.
The wounded man had to be sent in
,he police ambulance to the Georgia
Infrmary for treatment, and there he
told the story of the assault to a
representative of the Morning News.
The negro claims that he had been
boarding with the Mungin woman, and
that she did not appear to like the idea
of his leaving her. She became angry
when he stated his intention of going
10 reside with his aunt, on Roberts
street, and he claims that she fused
at him for several days because he
slept at his aunt's house. Williams
saws that he went to the house yester-
day to get his trunk, and that the
woman got his razor out, and made the
vicious swing, landing the sharp blade
on the shoulder.
The prisoner tells an entirely differ
ent story and says that she was forced
to use the razor. Williams wanted to
take his trunk without paying her, and
she protested. She had washed some
clothing for him and she suggested
that he give her something as security,
if he did not have the money. The wo-
man says that with an oath Williams
announced that he would give her all
the security she was looking for.
He went into his trunk, she says,
and brought out the razor. He was in
furiated and ordered her from the
house, at the same time making an
effort to cut her. She says that she
pushed him and that he dropepd his
weapon. She grapped it up hurried
ly and made the wound already de-
scribed. The prisoner declares that
Williams had broken in her door and
that she felt that she had to use the
razor to save her life. The wounded
mans condition is not regarded as Sc
rious.
