GIRL BLOWN FROM TRAIN.
Strong Wind and Landed In
Corn Field Ininjured.

Miss Marie Karous. of Omaha, Neb.,
was blown from a train running 40
miles an hour and was uninjured. She
was on an excursion train running
from WILDER, Neb.. TO Omaha. While
she attempted to pass from one car to
another the strong wind lifted her 20
feet in the air and dropped her in a
cornfield. The fact that she was not
injured is attributed to the condition
of the ground, made soft by recent
rains. When the train reached the
next station friends telegraphed back
to the train following, and the young
woman was picked up and brought to
Omaha.

The result is shown in part in the

TO afford an outlet to what is now

Chatfield, which the appellant claims
as the daughter by a former husband
Of the dead mans widow, Martha San
del Chatfield. In the evidence it APP
peared that a few days before his
death, Chatfield executed a deed con-
veyins the disputed property to the
church, subject 10 a life estate in favor
of his widow. When the latter died in
1899 the appellant claimed the house
on the grounds of being the rightful
heir. Chatfield at the time of trans
ferring the property to the church be-
ing mentally incompetent. The dis
trict court, however, ruled in favor of
the church.
The reason for granting another trial
is because the church, five years before
Mrs. Chatfield's death, gave her lease
and charged her a nominal rental.
Justice Miner, who rendered the opin-
ion. holds this was a violation 1of the
agreement of the life estate Mrs. Chat
