TRIES TO DODGE
HEARST REACHED BY DREAMING
DOWN DOOR.
Deputy Sheriff Starts to Break In
Door of Toilet Room When He
Comes Out and surrenders.

| comes Out 6uQ SuTreOCerS.
After dramatic scene on a Union
Pacific train at Omaha, Neb., Thur
day night in which the door OF his
stateroom was burst open by depu-
ty sheriff, William Randolph Hears--,
millionaire editor, was served with
papers notifying him that suit for
100000 has been brought against
him for slander and libel by Governor
Charles N. Haskell, of Oklahoma, in
the Douglas county, Nebraska, dis
trict court.
The suit was fled with the dis
trict court last night, after which
the papers were Immediately with
drawn. The train did not arrive
until 1925. A deputy sheriff was
on hand with orders to serve the
summons on Hearst. A knock o1:
the door Of Hearst's state-room elic-
tied the information from the edi-
tors wife that he was not in the
room, but had gone to the station
to send telegram.
The deputy sheriff demanded adj
mittance in the name Of the law,
saying, if not admitted, he would
break down the door. There ensued
dramatic scene. Mrs. Hearst on
the inside screamed out she was
alone and would admit no man, and
the deputy proceeded to carry out his
threat; using his shoulder as a bat
tering ram, he crashed through the
door and was met by Mrs. Hearst,
partially disrobsd, apparently on the
verge Of hysteria.
Nothing daunted, although Mrs.
Hearst rushed screaming through
the door out in the aisle, Deputy
Sheriff Stewart started to- kick in
the door Of the, toilet room adjoin-
ing the state-roor. Then Hearst
emerged and accepted the papers.
To reporter Hearst said that the
summons was unexpected, and he
had not the elast suspicion that any
thing of the kind was to occur In
Omaha.
"Why did you refuse admittaace
to the oficers?" was asked.
because myself and wife were
retiring for THE night" explained
Hearst. "I have no objection to be-
ing served with these papers here
IN Omaha or anywhere else.'
