STREET RAIL WAY WINS CASE,
BUT AFTER A BAD SCARE
Jury il Out Nearly All Night and
the Company Feared n
Compromise.

A verdict for the defendant was regis
tered Friday morning by the jury which
heard the suit of Mrs. Lilly Turner for
5000 against the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company.
The jury debated a long time before It
reached it's conclusion, having been out all
Thursday afternoon and until 1880 Friday
morning. The defense was consequently
somewhat concerned lest a compromise had
been reached.
Mrs. Turner's suit was tried first a year
ago before Judge Troup, Judge Kennedy
hearing the action just over. In the first
trial a similar verdict was reached, but
Judge Troup, fearing lest an instruction
had been Inexperienced, himself ordered
a new trial.
General Gown and Weaver & Giller had
the plaintiffs case. with w. J. Connell de-
Tending.
Mrs. Turner's accident occurred at
Twenty third and Cunning streets. The
plaintiffs version was that she was thrown
off in attempting to leave the car, while
the defense asserted that she fell off
through her own negligence.

Married, but
Not Telling 1t
Jefferson, Ia, Couple Little Worried
Over the Legal Status of
Their Union.

Mahlon Head and Fern Wood Of Jeffer-
son, Ia, were married in Omaha, April IL,
by Justice Altstadt, but according to a
letter received in Omaha Friday they are
not exactly boasting about it; rather are
they denying it.
Head was divorced a short time ago by
his wife whom he deserted as we'll as three
young children. By the terms of the
decree granted Mrs. Head he was forbidden
to remarry within six months and an Iowa
statute forbids 1t anyhow for a year.
Whether he has come within the statute
or is in contempt of the Jefferson court
is a question, for his second marriage has
taken place outside the Jurisdiction of Iowa.
The point is believed to be a new one.
