A little Winsted, Conn.,, girl, an adopted child, turned the tables with stunning effect upon children who were teasing her because she was an adopted child to the parents who loved her as their own.

Hook of Holland, Feb. 22.-After
thirty hours of almost incessant efforts

men reached the steamer Berlin, and
ten survivors in the after part of the
vessel were saved. Buffeted and driv-

Dutchmen never relaxed their at.

weather they succeeded in taking
ashore the few persons still living at

No Relief During Night.
Efforts to rescue the handful of sur
vivors who have chung to the remnant
of the wrecked steamer Berlin for
tw~enty-four hours were continued

DEPUTY SHERIFF THiRkELDSEN
RETURNS FROM TRINIDAD TO-

Man Does Not Deny Making Check
and lntimates That He Will Waive
Examination When Arraiened-
Traced to Denver and Thence to
Trinidad by County Officials.

William F. Howard, alias Ner, who
is wanted here for forgery, was re-
turned to the city this afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Thirkeldsen and taken
at once to the county Jail to await a
preliminary hearing. Howard inform
ed the county attorney after being
turned over to Sheriff Bath that he
would probably waive examination and
intimated that he might plead guilty.
He did not deny making the check, but
claimed that he had ordered a suit of
clothes from Montgomery, Ward & Co.
for s21, and the suit not coming when
he left the camp, he expected the re-
turn of his money.
Had Several Days Start.
All the checks by the Suffolk Explo-
ration company, operating the Douglas
Consolidated company's placer mines,
were drawn by Mr.. Shaw, the superin-
tendent of the company, and signed
by c. E. Jackson as manager. The
check to Schaefer for $50 was cashed
by that gentleman on the 10th of De-
cember, but did not go to the bank
until the 14th, and it was about ten
days after that before the matter was
placed in the hands of the officers.
They believed he had gone west and
kept a watch for their nan in that
direction.
He went east instead and was seen
at Denver by one of the visitors from
this section to that city during the
live stock show. When the gentleman
returned to Laramie and reported to
the officers. Sheriff Bath went to Den
yer, but Howard had gone. Next he
was seen at Trinidad by a man who
had worked with him in the mines
here, his arrest following.

New York, Feb. 22.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw has three days to rest and pre-
pare for the continuous ordeal which
she is undergoing at the hands of the
district attorney. The Thaw trial adj
journed last night until Monday MORN
ing. Mrs. Thaw is then to take the
stand again and will be forced to go
into more details of her eventful life.
May Not Finish Monday.
All day she is expected to be on the
stand, and it is doubtful if Jerome will
be through with her even then. Vari-
Gus details of her life and its connec
ton with Thaw and White are still to
be brought out.
Story Not Upset.
OF course, the actual truth of the
story which Mrs. Thaw told her hus-
bald and which unbalanced his mind
cannot be questioned. All the cross
examination al develop is doubt as
to the veracity of the witness; doubt
as to whether she really told him or
not. That is all the cross-examination
can show, all but one thing.
Left to the Jury. I
1t is for the jury to decide whether
the constant brooding or the story
Evelyn told Thaw about her treatment
at the hands of White actually caused
the arrangement of his mind sufficient
to make him incapable Of knowing he
was doing wrong when he killed
White.

VERY BRISK
FOUR DAYS BLOCKADE ON THE
UNION PACIFIC CAUSES CON-
GEsTioN EASTWARD.

Council Bluffs Filled With Cars
Awaiting Transportation Over This
Road-old Time North Platte Ma
chinist 10 Dead,

The Union Pacific is the worst suf-
ferer from the ice gorges in the Platte.
although none of its bridges were
washed away, says the Omaha Bee.
The traffic of the main line was block
ed practically four days, and although
the passenger trains were detoured to
the Burlington, that road was unable
to care for the freight trains, and, as
a consequence, the main stem of the
largest railroad in the entire west was
blocked for four days. During that
time thousands of freight cars have
~congested on the line west Of Grand
Island and between Grand Island and
Fremont, and every road running into
Omaha from the east has its side
tracks for a hundred miles into Iowa
blocked with cars which should have
moved west over the Union Pacific.
Congestion Of Freight.
With the road doing all the business
it could possibly handle without any
~hindrance, the action of the Platte has
caused a great congestion, which it
will take days to clear away. One
Iowa line has over 500 cars waiting
for delivery to the Union Pacific. We'd
nesday morning there were thirty-fiye
freight trains doing business between
Omaha and Grand Island, with nine
passenger trains trying to work their
way through this mass>of cars. When
1t is considered that the road has a sim
gle track a considerable part OF the
way, the immensely Of the task may
be conceived. 1.-The road may have
plenty of engines and penty Of crews
but there Is a limit to the possibilities
of "a one-track road" said n promi
nent official.
