Omaha, Oct 16-After a dramatic
night, in which the door of his state
room was burst open by q deputy
sheriff, William Randolph Hearst was
served with papers notifying him that
d suit for 100000 had been brought
against him for SANDER and libel by
Governor Charles n. Haskell, of Okla

accordingly. When the train arrived at

that if he were not admitted he wpuld
break the down the door Using his
shoulders as battering ram, he
crashed thru the door and was met by
Mrs Hearst partially disrobed and
apparently on the verge of hysteria.
Nothing daunted. altho Mrs. Hearst
rushed screaming thru the door out III
the aisle, Stewart started to kick in
the door to the toilet room adjoining
the stateroo1G. Then it was that
Hearst emerged and accepted the pa
pers.
Hearst said the summons was en-
tirely unexpected, as he had not the
least suspicion that anything OF the
kind was to occur. He says he does
not believe the case will ever come to
trial

CALLS MRS. GOULD .DRUNkARD,
Husband Opposes Suit for AIimony
With Accusations.

New York, Oct 16-Delancey Nicoll,
representing Howard Gould, yesterday
in arguing Mrs. Gould's motion for ali
mony declared that Mrs. Gould drunk
enness has been almost habitual. The
attorney said that for years the woman
has INDUCED in profanity, abuse, and
i'll temper and had spent $224,O00 in
one year.
Mrs. Gould's motion was for $4,000
per month pending her suit for separ-
ate maintenance. Attorney Nicoll de-
clared that Mr.. Gould had provided
$4,000 a year for his wife and claims
this to be sufficient. He said Mr..
Gould's income had been 100000 a
year, but had been reduced to $400.-
O0O Three hundred thousand dollars,
he said. had been lost in the panic.
But whether his income be s60O,O0O
or s4OO, 900 makes not much difference,
continued Mr.. Nicoll "The question is
this: Taking all the facts together, has
he placed this woman in a position
while awaiting trial of. her action for
separation to enable her to live proper
lv and comfortably? We maintain that
he has. Since November. 1907, he has
allowed her $4,000 a year for her own
support"

Him All But Three States.
Chicago, Oct. 16.-With the presi-
Dental race entering upon its last lap
there came yesterday the first batch OF
serious estimates of the results. At re-
publican national headquarters the
leaders took stock of the situation in
the west and at Illinois headquarters
the state central committee received
reports of the progress Of the Deneen
campaign.
The most conservative Of the esti-
mates at the national headquarters was
that Taft would carry every western
state except Colorado, Montana, and
Nevada, and there were those who as
serted that Colorado could be captured
by hard work between now and election
day. At the state headquarters the low
est estimate of Deneen's plurality was
100000.
United States Senator .Borah of Ida
no, who returned from a trip thru the
west told the national leaders he is
confident Taft can carry Colorado.
"T have changed my mind about Col
orado" he said, "since my trip thru the
state within the last few days. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the idol Of the west
and the Roosevelt influence may be re-
lied upon, in my opinion, to land Colo
RADIO in the republican column. The
people out that way think that as Mr..
Taft has been selected by the president
to carry out the Roosevelt policies that
is good enough for them. They will
vote for Taft"

IS GIRL SUICIDE?
Case of 15-Year-oId Clara Watland,
Near New Sharon, is Most Myster-
ious one-Found Dead in Room.

Special to Times Republican.
New Sharon, Oct. 16.-Miss Clara
watIand, aged about Is years, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Carrie Watland, widow
living four miles northwest of here,
came to her death in a very myster-
ious manner last night. She had at
tended scshool here in New Sharon
during the day, but had been late in
getting home, and on her arrival there.
had been scolded somewhat by her
mother. The latter left her in the
kitchen ironing while she went to the
barn to gather eggs, and on returning
to the house Clara was not to be seen.
A search for her daughter by Mrs.
Watland, resulted in her discovery of
the girl in her own room, with life
completely extinct.
The first theory was that sudden
heart failure caused her death, but
later report was to the effect that it
was case of suicide by strychnine
poisoning, tho the girl had had no
trouble in school or elsewhere, so far
as known, and was cheerful when last
seen alive. The inquest had not yet
been held, at last reports.

silberman Bros, Offer $4,000 Premium
for Insurance of Taft Victory.
Chicago, Oct. 16.-Sigmund Silber-
man, of the firm of Silberman Bros,
dealers in raw wool, yesterday offered
a premium of $4,000 for a 100000
insurance policy against the election Of
Bryan.
The firm is one Of the largest of
it's kind in the west and handles an
nually 25,O0O,00O pounds Of wool. The
stock being carried over election Is
about 10,00OO0O pounds.
1--WE could easily afford to pay the
large premium" said Mr.. Silberman,
"for if Mr.. Taft is elected we can af-
ford it, and if Bryan is elected our
loss probably will be 100000. We
would lose at least 1 cent pound II
we sold Immediately after his election,
or if we held it six months 1t would
cost us cent pound for storage
and care"
Mr.. Silberman is republican and is
confident of Tafts election, but said
that his offer TO pay a 10 per cent
premium on a policy maturing in less
than three weeks was entirely a bus
mess proposition unaffected by his po-
litical views

escaped with teir lives, but were ter
ribly burned by creeping along the
! track on their hands and knees to
Posen. The relief train consisted of
several box cars, a gondola and a way
car. After loading the people of Metz
on the train with their household

and were sono menacing a number of
towns along the Vine of the Detroit &

Metz, with about 100 inhabitants, was
one of them. Its situation became
acutely dangerous last night. The rail-
road sent relief train of box cars.
The household goods and store stocks
were loaded on some Of the cars and

were taken aboard is not known, nor
is it known whether any Of the farm

If this is the case there may have been
more people on the wrecked relief train
than the inhabitants Of the little viii
lage could have furnished.
