Suit Against Mrs. steer for Amount
Collected ON Sales and
Rentals.

In Judge Dickinson's court yesterday at
torneys for Elvira Aldrich and the other
descendants of Seth r. Winch are trying to
gain stil another point against Miranda j.
Steen, who was Winch's last wife and whom
the descendants defeated in court last week
in their suit to have set aside a deed by
which Winch had conveyed to her about
$40, 900 worth of real estate, the decision
being made on the showing that Winch was
insane when he made the deed.
That judgment was one for possession,
but now the descendants are after a money
judgment. They affirm that Mrs. Steen sold
about 5000 worth Of the property, some in
Harrison county, Iowa; some in Providence,
r. l.; some in Minnesota and som in
Omaha, and that she has collected as rental
about 5000 per year. They propose that
she be compelled to pay over the amount
OF the sales and the amount of the rental for
four years past. minus the cost OF any i'm
provements she may have made during that
time.

SLIPS AWAY FROM DETECTIVE
Young Man wanted for Cheek work
In chicago Makes
Good Run.

W. II. Feeney. alias r. c. Gales, alias
Otto L. Fades, who Is wanted in Chicago
for hotel check work, was located in this
city Tuesday afternoon and would have been
detained at police headquarters awaiting
the arrival OF a Chicago detective had not
he proven his cleverness by slipping from
the custody Of an Omaha detective.
Feeney, who claimed to be a newspaper
man, came to Omaha about FIVE weeks ago
and secured employment upon the local
staff OF the Daily News, being given the
police run after several days Of special
assignment work. When a copy Of The De-
tective was delivered at police headquarters
Tuesday afternoon upon the front page APP
peared a picture Of Feeney under the cap
ton Wanted" The notice was sent to the
police journal by F. Repetto, house detec-
tive OF the Auditorium hotel in Chicago,
who stated that Feeney was wanted there
for having given clerks in that hotel two
bogus checks. Information also showed
that he fell" in Cincinnati, o., in Febru-
airy, 1900, for the same kind of work and
had been "mugged' and given the Bertillon
measurements while detained there.
Chic Donahue wired to Superintendent
Francis O'Neil of the Chicago police depart
ment as soon as 1t was known that Feeney
was wanted An answer was received in
structing the Omaha chief to arrest and
hold the man.
Detective Drummy was assigned to the
case and watched for Feeney's return to his
rooms in the Madison, Twenty-frst and
Chicago streets, until after ~ o'clock Tues
day night. He succeeded in placing the re-
porter under arrest. While the officer was
telephoning to the station for the patrol
wagon the prisoner made a quick dash
through the door. jumped from the porch Of
the building and. easily v~aulting the back
fence, made his DISAPPEARANCE in the dark
ness. The ofhcer made a vain search and
returned TO the station empty-handed. A
close watch was kept at the depots. but no
trace of Feeney was secured. Feeney is
thought to have walked into the country,
continuing his journey westward.

STORM DELAYS ALL TRAINS
Passengers Pull Into Union Station from
One to Six Hours Late.
yEAvY WIND SOLE CAUSE OF TIME LOSS
lone Engineers Find it Prudent to
stop Their Trains at Times
while on HiEh or Ex-
posed Ground.

The windstorm and cold Tuesday and yes
ler5av pIayed havoc with railroad service
In this section OF the middle west. Not one
messenger train reached Union station on
lime Yesterday and they were late from
me hour up to six. Freight service mean
while was much more badly delayed, as
every possible leeway was given the pas
Benger trains.
Tuesday night the wind was a fierce north
easter and was actually strong enough at
times to practically hold a train facing 1t
stilI in its tracks. Despite its direction,
however. IL was not only trains going north
and east that were hung up. The wind was
40 powerful that it's crossire and enflade
on trains running south and west. away
from It. made travel difficult in those direc-
lions also.
Several instances are reported where en-
gineers stopped their trains entirely during
certain spasms OF the storm, while they
we're on high or exposed ground. They were
afraid to run them because there was a
ger OF being blown on the track while
rounding curves.
wind Plays Many Franks.
with trainmen and enginemen the wind
played many pranks, none serious as tar as
has been heard so far. However, no man
dared travel along the tops VI lISiBht Cais
save on his hands and knees, and in passen-
ger coach trains OF open platforms 1t was a
dangerous feat all night long to pass from
one car TO another.
Down at Union station the baggage hands
rolled out a dozen or so trucks in expecta-
tion Of the loads on incoming trains. In a
trice the wind had seized the trucks and
whirled them in all directions, and one
truckman said that II the yards hadn't been
fenced they would be hunting for trucks
yet.
The trains that were most conspicuously
late we're Union Pacific No. 4. due
here at 1880 a m, which did not arrive till
after u o'clock; Rock Island No. Al, four
hours late from the east; Northwestern
overland No. l, two hours late from Chi
cago; Northwestern No. II, three hours late
from Minneapolis; Missouri Pacific No. 81,
one hour and a half late. Northwestern
train No. 76, which left here for Minneapolis
Tuesday night and had to go in the
teeth OF the gale all the way, was four hours
late up there.

OEST FINDS MORE TROUBLE
This Time it Comes with Insane Patient at
Union Depot.
BIG LIZZIE" HAS PUelLISTIC TALENTS
She Lands scientifically On Solar
Picks of County Hospital super
intendent and Then Sheriff
ike Hand in Game.

Every day has its little troubles for ].
Henry Oest superintendent of the county
hospital. Tuesday he had to wrestle
with an investigating board in the hospi-
tai front parlor and yesterday he had
to wrestle with a large, red-haired and
high handed insane patient at the Bur-
lington station, with a Grove looking on.
The patient was Lizzie Klimont, who is
known among her friends as big Lizzie, F"
for reasons very apparent to anyone who
has ever noted her height and breadth.
She has been at the county hospital for
some time and 1t was the plan to take her
to the asylum at Lincoln. Accordingly
Oest brought her down in the hospital
ambulance to deliver her at the station
to Sheriff John Power, but the
woman liked not the looks OF
the genial and gentlemanly sheriff, nor Of
Thomas Flynn, a deputy who was there to
wave farewell. With rare discernment she
detected certain slight characteristics
which led her to believe that both were Of
Irish ancestry and she likes not the Irish.
Unfortunately for oest. she mistook him
for an accomplish, and to repay him for
tricking her she made a rush for him. What
is more, she reached him. She reached him
where no man with a full stomach likes to
be reached, and It is considered a miracle
that his hands we're the only things that
went up. Then she gave him a pugilistic
fondling which was thorough and system
attic and which ended only when ]. Henry
gained outside assistance from the depot
employees and later from the sheriff, who
was edging over her way as fast as his
rheumatism and his official dignity would
permit. Very promptly straps were placed
upon her wrists ana ankles and Director
Joe Mix, who assisted in the operation and
was a distant witness Of the encounter,
gives II as his opinion that anybody desiring
the position of sheriff OF Douglas county
would have done we'll to apply about the
time the train pulled out.
