DAMAGE SUIT FOR Withheld
Mrs. Annie Waffle to Bring Action
Against Official.
HAsTY MOVING OF HOUSE CAUSE
Woman Seriously Hurt Through Dis
charge of Revolver Claims
R2O,OOO--AIso to sue
City Of Omaha.

Attorney Thomas O. Harrison Of Council
Bluffs, cooperating with Judge Ben s.
Baker, prepared yesterday the papers in
a suit against Charles H. Withheld. Omaha
building inspector. for $4,000 damages for
an accident alleges to be due to the too
hasty performance o. his duty resulting in
Mrs. Annie waufle. the plaintiff, being ac-
cidentally shot and dangerously hurt.
The accident occurred on January u last
at the corner of Seventeenth and jackson
streets, while the building inspector and
his men were removing a lunch wagon
that was there I'm violation OF the fire lin
its ordinance Mrs Waufle was asleep in
the wagon at the time, and was partially
upset while being jerlted off the ground by
a team Of horses. A heavy Colts revolver
was knocked down and fired when It struck
the floor. the bullet striking the startled
woman, infllcting dangerous wounds.
ION November s, 1910 Mrs. Waufle's hus-
band leased from Leonard Everett Of Coun-
Gil Bluffs lot 8, block 2, Kountze & Ruth's
addition, for use as a site for a lunch
wagon and as q place OF abode, the couple
making their home in the wagon. On
January 5. 1911, withnell' caused to be
served upon the husband notice to get
the wagon off the ground on or before
January L.
The allegation Is that on the morning Of
the 18th, at $3.50 o'clock with the full
knowledge that the wagon was occupied as
a home, withnelrs men hitched team to
il quietly and started to drag 1t off the
lot across the sidewalk and curbing. A
big sycamore tree was hit and the vehicle
was partially overturned. overthrowing and
smashing a cupboard full OF dishes and
knocking down the revolver, a Colts $40.
The bullet struck the woman on the inner
side of the right groin, passing through
the left leg and hip and entering her right
arm at the elbow. The wounds were of
such a character that the woman's life was
despaired Of and the allegation is that
she is now a helpless cripple.
| The contention is that the building in
spector had no right to forcibly remove
the wagon until after the expiration OF
the day of January u, and that If he had
not done so it would have been removed
voluntarily during that day; that. in fact
/ the stuff was packed at the time for re-
moval and Mrs. Waufle was waiting within
the tightly closed vehicle for the return OF
her husband who had gone after q team

! tuted against the city OF Omaha. The
papers in the case will be filed in omaha

borrowed money under false pretenses.
Brandreth was arrested on March II, and
In spite Of protests was sentenced to two
years imprisonment as vagrant. The
court proceedings passed unnoticed.
In the meantime the minister Of Justice
cabled to New York 20 verify his identity.
but received no reply until today lie then
ordered the release Of Brandreth with
apologies.

that Il would stll be conducted under the
