OFFICER TAKEN FOR INSANE
Detective MaIOney Has Hard Time
Convincing Hospital AuthOFI-
ties of the Mistake.

That Detective Steve Maloney, who took
an insane man, TO st. Bernard hospital
Council Bluffs Tuesday morning with De-
tective DonohOe, was mistaken for the pa
tient by the keepers and was obliged to
show his badge OF authority as an oficer
OF the law IN the state OF Nebraska before
he could even establish a doubt in the
minds Of the hospital people, is the story
related at the police station and vouched
for by a number Of officers. Nor does Ma
loney deny with the air of a man entirely
innocent.
1t is said the keepers asked Maloney to
remain quiet and all would be arranged sat
isfactorily, when he began TO protest.
Here, I'm not the crazy man." he cried
ITS that other fellow"
That's what they all say was the dis
quieting reply. Now. just sit down in that
chair and We'll fix you up comfortably"
1t was not until Donohoe went to the
rescue and assured the keepers they were
trying TO detain the wrong man that Ma
loney was given any chance to prove him
self a sane person and a protector of the
peace instead OF a disturber And within
fve minutes after the officers returned to
the Omaha police station the story had
percolated from cellar to court room.

WATER MOVING HIGH BLUFF

the sewer to the river about mile away.
E. L. Whtcomb has the contract for
moving the dirt, which will amount to
about 10000 yards. The scheme does away
with all the hauling through the streets

FlFTY.TWO DEEDS RECORDED
Record Breaking Business iS DSas BY
County Register Frank Bandls
DUE TO ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE
Few Filings Are for Technical Pur-
poses, the Great Majority for
Residence or Business
Property Deals.

Record breaking business was done Mon
day In the othce Of the county register Of
deeds, Frank w. Bandle, when hfty-two
deeds, representing real estate transfers
aggregating $64,S60, we're placed on file.
1his is one OF the largest number Of deeds
ever placed on record in any one day for
several weeks and Is indicative Of the
extraordinary activity now evident in
Omaha realty, both residence and business
property.
Very few Of the deeds recorded Monday
were for technical purposes and they were
mostly for small property, although several
large transactions were represented.
The number Of transfers reported for
Monday fails to bear out the complaints OF
many real estate dealers that business Is
stagnant." said a we'll known realty
broker Tuesday morning. This recent
spell of cold and unreasonable weather has
had, no doubt. the effect of making sales
and inquiries less frequeua, but the gem
eral business this spring Is far ahead OF
that of previous years In every line. 1t Is
also to be noticed that the sales for home
purposes are equal, nearly, to those for in
vestment although the home sales are
mostly small. This indicates. however,
prosperous times with the wage Garner and
salaried man. who can now AFFORD to buy
their own homes"
1t is believed the transfers during the
month Of April will be smaller than those
recorded during the same period Of 1906,
as the condition OF the weather during
the last month has not been conducive to
activity in the real estate market.
Perfect Their Title.
Instruments perfecting tine title Of the
Klopp & Bartlett company to the large
building and lot now occupied by the print
ing establishment at the southwest corner
OF Tenth and Douglas streets have been
placed on record by the New Hampshire
Fire Insurance company. The lot and
building was bought by the printing com
pany about five years ago for $1,000 and
half of the indebtedness has been paid, a
mortgage of $500 having been placed on
record Monday with the actual title In the
Klopp & Bartlett company.
Deeds were filed Monday transferring the
title to the home of Mrs. Fanny Reichen-
berg at 81 South Thirty-seventh street for
$4,000 to Z. NJ. F. Lehang OF Lexington.
The sale was made by J. H. Dumont &
Son several weeks ago and is part of many
investments made in Omaha real estate by

SOIL AND CROP CONDITIONS
Favorable Status in Most Places, Con-
siderinR the Bad weather
of the Month.

Soil on the Lincoln and wymore divisions
was reported in workable condition by the
Burlington soil and crop report for the
week ending Saturday, although moisture
was needed for the best results. West of
Hastings and Red Cloud the soil is in very
fair condition. A heavy snow on the oath
put the soil in good shape for some time.
Winter wheat continues to be in fine con-
ditlon in all parts Of the Nebraska division.
Cold weather has held back the growth,
but no actual damage has been done. The
cold weather, however, has not been favor
able TO spring grain oats especially are
not growing very much and the stand gen.
orally is not frst-class, because the seed
did not grow as we'll as IT would have
done had the weather been warmer and
the ground in more favorable condition.
Spring wheat. which amounts to little I'm
the matter Of acreage, is doing fairly well.
Fair progress has been made in preparing
the soil for corn. as 1t has not actually
become too dry to cultivate and nowhere
during the spring was 1t too wet to pillow.
1t is reported that little corn has been
planted on the Wymore division and little
on the McCook division. Acreage actually
planted does not amount to much.
About the average acreage of potatoes
has been planted. Stock is doing WELL but
the cold weather has retarded the growth
OF grass and in some cases put the stock
back onto feed and materially cut down
the cream supply that usually goes to the
factories at this time of the year.
The ground has been prepared for sugar
beets but the crop lie not generally planted
There is not much enthusiasm over this
crop in this territory. Fruit, except per
hsps some late apples, is generally thought
to be killed.

WOMAN MARRlES TOO OFTEN
Plea offered by Man Seeking Divorce
After Being In Dark for
Three Years.

Charging she already had husband
when she married him and that after their
marriage she was secretly welded again
without his knowledge, James NJ. Shores
has begun suit In district court against
Jennie Curtis Shores to have the marriage
ceremony performed in 1904 set aside and
declared null and void. In his petition
Shores says he did not learn the true state
Of affairs until January 1, 1907, and since
that time he has not lived with the woman
he suppo +ed was his legal wife
Shores says he was married to Mrs.
Shores at San Bernardino, Cal, September
90 1904 He declares she told him at that
time she had been divorced from her former
husband, William snlder of Council Bluffs
to whom she had been married in 1901 and
was a single woman. They lived together
until January, 1906, when she came to
Omaha, as he believed on visit. Divorce
proceedings were begun against her here
by Mr.. Snider and she filed a cross petition
and was granted the divorce During this
time he said he was sending her $40 a
month. The decree in the Snider case was
filed August 2S 1906. Before the required
six months we're up he says she went to
Council Bluffs and married Joseph T. Tool
and lived with him until July 1, 1906 refus-
ing to return to Shores. The petition says
they lived both in Omaha and South Bend,
Ind.
In 1906 ignorant of what had happened
since she left him, he says they began liv-
ing together and continued to do so until
January /, when he learned of the other
marriages and left her.
John Battln, who was her attorney in
the divorce suit, is his attorney in the
present one.
Lola Ritchey has begun suit against
James @. Ritchey for a divorce charging
him with nonsupport.
