GIRL TAKEN FOR FORGERY
NELLIE KERN OF VALENTINE AR.
RESTED IN FREMONT.
GIRL is EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD
The Officer at Fremont Apprehends
the Girl When She Reaches That
City on Her Way to Omaha, on Ad.
vice From Valentine.


Fremont, Neb., Dec. ID Nellie
Kern, a girl eighteen years old, was
arrested by Chief of Police Peterson
on Northwestern train No. when II
arrived in Fremont and was taken to
the police station to be detained until
the authorities at Valentine, Neb.,
could be heard from concerning her,
Prior to the arrival of the train the
police received a telegram from Dep
uty Sheriff Williams of that town stat
ing that the young woman was wanted
lor forgery and requesting her deten.
ton till someone could be sent to take
charge of her.
The girl made an emphatic denial
or the forgery allegation and indicated
her inability to understand why she
had been arrested. She was on her
way to Omaha in company with an.
other young woman whom she said
was hurrying to the bedside of her
aunt who was seriously i'll. She sub
mltted to detention without much hes
itation, first turning over most of the
money she had to her companion. At
the police station, however, she broke
down and related her story between
sobs.
She said Deputy Sheriff Williams is
brother of her brother-in-law, Har-
vey Williams of Valentine, and that
she had been visiting at the home of
the latter. She claimed to have been
at Crookston, which is a small town
near the former named place and had
started for Omaha from there, after
addressing brief note to her mother
at Rushville explaining her intentions.
She said she was taking the trip with
her friend out of sympathy for her
and for the further reason that she
wanted to do some shopping in the
metropolis. She claimed she had been
having some differences with the Will
liamses, but insisted she could not
understand why they should resort to
the extreme of causing her arrest.
The police provided a place for the
young woman in the judges room,
and she spent the night there. Her
second burst of tears came when the
chief explained that since she was in
the custody of the law it would be
impossible for him to release her to 20
to hotel.
At noon Chief Peterson received
telegram from the Valentine officers
stating that deputy had been started
for Fremont with the necessary papers
for the girls formal arrest and deten-
tion' The chief kept her at the city
hall through the day and will deliver
her to the deputy when he arrives.

Old SOLDIER SUICIDES
TRAGIC DEATH OF A RESPECTED
ATKINSON CITIZEN.
KILLED HIMSELF WITH REVOLVER

n. w. Transue Deliberately Goes to
the Barn, Carefully Removes His
Coat, Places Revolver to His Breast
and the Bullet Does the Rest.
Atkinson, Neb., Dec. 13.-Special to
The News: H. w. Transue, an old
soldier, Odd Fellow and highly re-
spected citizen of Atkinson, commit
ted suicide yesterday, ending his life
with a revolver bullet through his
breast. Dependency was the cause
of the tragedy.
Transue has been in poor health for
the past two months. Recently he
seemed to have fully recovered his
physical health but continued to be
very respondent.
Yesterday he walked out to the barn,
carefully removed his coat, held a re-
volver to his breast and took his own
life. He died instantly.
In few minutes his wife had missed
him and after a little search she
found the dead body out in the barn.
Mrs. Transue is left entirely alone by
the tragedy, her only child having died
some years ago.
Transue was not only an Odd Eel
low and an old soldier, but was highly
respected in Atkinson as a man and
citizen. He was well to do financially.
The coroner was called from O'Neill,
arriving on the afternoon train.

The steel passenger coaches, one of
which has been in service for the last
few weeks between Norfolk and Co
lumbus, will replace wooden cars
on the Hartman lines, according to a
dispatch from Omaha where the new
steel cars are being constructed in
the Union Pacific shops.
The Union Pacific railroad has de-
cided to spend millions in the Omaha
shops in building steel cars, which
will gradually replace all wooden
coaches used on the entire Hartman
system.
All work at the shops is now only
being expended on the erection OF
steel cars and motor cars.
The shops will be able to turn out
ten cars month all of new and un.
conventional design. AS quickly as
cars are completed they are hurried
into service, at present being sent to
the western end of the line.
The steel coaches have their en-
trance at the center. They seat about
as many people as the regular coach.
Instead of having square windows,
they will have round ones. Ventila-
ton is provided by an upward draft.
Each car weighs about 10000 pounds.
1t cannot be telescoped and in case
of wreck offers a far greater chance
of escape to passengers.
Although the federal law prohibiting
railroads from working their train
crews over sixteen hours at a stretch
does not go into effect until March 4,
1908, some western railroads are max
ing efforts to observe that law at pres
ent. Vice President Mohler of the
Union Pacific and General Manager
f. Walters of the Northwestern are
among the railroad officials who so
declare in some recent Omaha inter
views. For more than a year the
Union Pacific has striven to observe
the new law just as much as though
1t were in effect at present" said A.
L. Mohler, vice president and general
manager of the Union Pacific. 1.-THE
schedules have been so adjusted that
crew does not have to work more
than the specified time except in case
of an emergency We have kept COM
plete records of the time the men have
worked on each run that we might
the better adjust our schedules"
THE Northwestern has been work
ing on the new law for nearly a year."
said Frank Walters, general manager
of the Northwestern. so the new
law will be no hardship to us, for we
have adjusted our schedules to meet
the requirements of the law. don't
see any necessity for laying a train up
at small station, for the law says
that in case Of emergency the train
may be run on in"
Railroad men say the severest sect
ion of the new law is that part which
applies to telegraphers, in permitting
those working at stations open day
and night but nine hours a day. This
will require three men for each tower
and station open twenty-four hours
and at present telegraphers are hard
to get The law is peculiar in that
1t permits operators working In stat
ions which are only open in the day
time thirteen hours day.

Occasional attacks of backache,
