Pretty Governess
Choked to Death
COachman, Who Attempted to Commit
Suicide, is Charged with
Crime.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Jan. 14.-Sarah
o. Breymor, aged 26 years, a pretty and
cultured governess at the summer home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes Compton, Millbrook,
Duchess county, was found in her bed
early this morning strangled to death.
Frank Schermerhorn, of the same age.
and who is employed as coachman on the
Compton place. has been brought to this
city, charged with the murder. Late this
afternoon he made an unsuccessful attempt
at suicide, cutting his throat with a razor.
Mary Fennel, a maid in the Compton
house, was awakened by a noise, and says
she saw a mans form disappear out of
the corridor. She ran to awaken the gov
eIness, and not receiving any reply, entered
Miss Breymor's room. The governess was
found lying in bed, her face black and
finger prints on her throat. Life was
extinct.
In the same room was little Polly Comp
ton, aged 3 years, unframed. The maid
quickly pressed an electric button, sum-
moning the coachman, and when he arrived
the sheriff and police OF this city were
notified.
The officials spent the day at the Comp
ton place. They found Miss Breymor's
hands had been tied, the big chest contain
ing the silverware had been forced and
several OF the rooms were in disorder,
making 1t appear as though the tragedy
had been part of a burglary. The police
went to the coachman's house late this
afternoon. Investigation revealed chemer-
horn lying under the bed with his throat
cut. Schemerhorn was taken into custody
and his wound dressed. On the table in his
room was found a note signed Frank which
read:
My Dear Wife: I am not guilty"
Schmerhorn was too weak to make much
Of a statement. He did say, however, that
he stood watching under a window of the
Compton mansion while the japanese butler
committed the deed. This statement the
police discredit, and say there is no doubt
that Schmerhorn ~strangled the governess
to death following an assault.

Greek Has Musical Mania.
Gust J~utsaphelos, a Greek of South
Omaha, was arrested Wednesday afternoon
on the charge of dementia. He was found
by the police at Twenty-ninth and r streets
scrubbing the floor of his lodging house
with a tar mop and water mixed with
cinders. He had been so violent that all
his associates left the place, fearing they
would be attacked. The officers had diff
Guilty in landing him in Jail. Once in jail
he began to sing in his native tongue a
wierd medley of songs, which never ceased
for hours. He beat time on the bars or
danced up and down the corridor, much to
the distress of the other prisoners. The
case has every appearance Of being per-
manently developed. Yesterday it was
thought an effort would be made to have
his case disposed of before the Board of
Insanity, but he is still in the South Omaha
Jail.
Then men with whom he roomed said he
received a letter about two weeks ago tell
ing him of the death Of his father. Since
that time he has shown signs of breaking
down. which rapidly developed his present
condition.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Roads Refuse Eastbound Stock and
Packers Products.
STORM IN EAST IS CAUSE
Gust JutsapheIOs Becomes Demented
on Receiving News Of Death of
His Father-NO Filings
on T~htrteenth.

on reports Of a heavy storm raging in
eastern Iowa and Illinois, the railroads Of
South Omaha refused all eastern consign-
ments of live stock or packing house prod
ucts shortly after noon yesterday. The
rlgors of the present winter have worked
difficulties in railroading which are with
out precedent and the action of the roads
yesterday was arbitrary. but based on the
experiences Of the past. Further, the de-
mand for steam coal from the section af-
fected makes 1t imperitive that the roads
be kept as free from entanglements as
possible. The packers of South Omaha
have been on the acute edge of anxiety for
over a week and more than once not half
a days supply Of coal remained between
the packers and a shutdown.
The shortage Of refrigerator cars has
been acute for a month and the Omaha
Packing company yesterday was over thirty
cars short of the orders which were most
urgent. Other packers were equally handi-
capped.
The middle west has been enjoying milder
weather for a week or more and as a
result the live stock is being rushed to
the South Omaha market and the packers
report that their coolers and cold storage
rooms are rapidly filling with meat which
should be on the road. over $4,000 hogs
have been received in South Omaha in
the four market days of the week. The
severe weather in the east has brought
tn prices up again so that yesterday S.55
was paid for the best grades. With the
big storm in the east the local market is
likely to be higher today.

CONSOLIDATED
Mill To RESUME
IN five DAYS
Special to the Bonanza.

GOLDFIELD, April 14.-The
Goldfield Consolidated mill, which
was put out of commission last
week on account of the fire, will
resume within the next five days
with from seventy to eighty stamps
in operation. A tramway has been
constructed to convey the ore to the
bins pending the reconstruction of
the conveyor which was destroyed
entirely. The company will make
several shipments of the high grade
ore from the Claremont shaft, and
it is believed that the profits for
the month will be about normal,
when the returns from these ship
ments are made.
The officials of the company are
now engaged in making out the
checks for the dividend declared in
January, and when paid this will
bring the total dividends near the
eight million mark.
