Mrs. Charles Alexander and
daughters decided to surprise
Mr.. Alexander today, it being his
seventy-ninth birthday. He was
sent up town on an errand this
and when he returned
he found the house filled with old
soldiers and friends. He surely
was taken by surprise, as his
looks plainly showed. After the
surprise had worn off a little one
of the old soldiers in a neat
speech presented Mr.. Alexander
with new leather rocker as a
token of the high esteem in
which he is held. Mrs. Alexander
then invited all the guests into
the dining room, where a fine
dinner was served. A discussion
arose as to the ages of the vari-

ATTACK UPON WOMAN
on RAILWAY PLATFORM

Jay w. Croker, SIS years old,
who says his home is in Omaha,
is being held at the police stat:oa
for further investigation to d.
termine whether an act he COM
mitted at the Northwestern rail
way station was due to insanity
or a criminal purpose. He seized
and attempted to drag from the
station platform Miss Lottie
Burcham of Mondamin, Ia, VINO
had gone to the station to take
a train to her home. She
was accompanied by Glenn
Green, a student at the Hammill
Business college of this city, and
to whom it was announced she is
engaged to be married after the
young man completes his bust
ness college course in the spring.
They arrived at the station
only few moments before the
train was due to leave and Mr..
Green had left his flancee on the
platform while he went to the
ticket window few steps dis
tant to secure her ticket.
The moment the young woman
was left alone Croker seized her
and was apparently trying 20
drag her from the platform and
into the darkness. Her screams
quickly brought help and Crocker
would have been roughly handled
liz Special Officer Matthews had
not been at hand to take care of
linn. Green was restrained with
considerable difficulty from pun
ishing the man.
Croker was sullen when takep
to the police station in .hc pa
trol wagon. He refused 10 ans
~rr questions, saying he would
talk 10 the judge in the morning.
Mis-, Burcham was on the verge
4; rostration for a few minutes
after the attack, but was able to
take the train home. Green would
have accompanied, her but it was
necessary for him to appear
against the man in police court
this morning. Omaha Bee.

VALLEY couPLE-REuNIrED.

Boone, Ia, April "a family
jar which started in Missouri
Valley has been settled in this
city, the couple has been reunited
and gone home and the man in
the case will not be. prosecuted.
The prospects are that the parties
to the little passing domestic
tragedy will forgive. and forget.
The police few days ago were
called upon to look for woman
of Missouri Valley, said to be
here living with a man who had
recently come here from Illinois.
Chief Meyer and his men located
the couple and took them into
custody. The man was employed
as machinist at the Northwest
ern shops. Upon the detention of
the couple word was sent to- the
husband in Missouri, Valley and
he came to Boone Tuesday night
and met his wife and the officers.
A pathetic scene took place in the
police station and husband and
wife agreed to firgive and for
get. A stipulation of the settle
ment of the difficulty was that the
man should. not be prosecuted.
The wife and husband both adj
united that they had not done
exactly right and both promised
TO be good in the future.
When they departed for their
home they seemed as happy as
though nothing had ever hap
pened to separate them. The wo-
man had her 6-year-old daugh-
ter with her and the little girl
seemed as happy over the reunion
as the parents.

sprung on her at the theater
when some one walked down to

down. AS it was the end of the

why they had come so near the
front. The climax was reached
when one of the girls behind her
remarked well, what a hat. -
She thought they were getting
rather fresh and turned to take
a look and was much surprised
to find her sister, Miss Nina
Reece of Omaha, and an old
friend, Lee 'Scoville, from her old
home town, Valley Falls, Neb. 1t
had been some time since she had
met him. The young folks spent
the remainder of the evening, re-
