FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Frank Nelman Takes His Own Life
With Chloroform.
After Securely Locking the Doom He Sat

and Kuterg Lpon 111a Lutt Look Sleep
Had Attempted Suicide Before.
From the ellects of chloroform ad
ministered by his own hand Frank
Neiman lies dead in the undertaking
rooms of Streight & Streight. He was
found at his home on North Seventh
street at 8:30 last evening and it is be
lieved he has been dead since Satur
day night.
Deceased was a nephew of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Stadelmann and had been
in the habit of visiting them at fre
quent intervals and regularly on Sun
day evt nings, when in the city. Ho
did not call at their home last Sunday
evening, and Mr. Stadelmann sup
posed he hud gone out in the count.-y
to vL-it friends as ho frequently did,
but to make sure of his whereabouts
Mr. Stadelmnn went to tho Knights of
fythias hall lust evening where the
l dre w is holding a meeting and in
quin d about N- iman. None of the
members had seen him and D. O.
Dwyer and Rhece Walker were up
pointed a committee to go to his house
and nee if he was at home.
Found Dead in Ilia ISed.
Neiman lived alone and upon arriv
ing at his house they found the doors
locked, but finally broke in and were
shocked to find him lying on the bed
cold in death. He had saturated two
or three handkerchiefs with chloro
form and placing them in his cap had
drawn them over his face. The bed
clothes were also placed about his
head. Messrs. Dwyer and Walker
immediately notified Deputy Sheriff
McIJride and Coroner Sattler and the
dead man was removed to the under
taking rooms.
Deceased was past chancellor of the
Knights of Pythias lodge of this city
and the members of the lodge have
watched him closely for a number of
years as he was known to bo insane a
portion cf the time. He attempted
suicide about two years ago by lock
ing himself in the K. P. hall and turn
ing on the gas, but his plans were
frustrated by other members appear
ing. After this act he was adjudged
insane and was taken to the asylum at
Lincoln. After six months he was
pronounced cured and sent home.
However, his old affliction came back
on him. He started a cigar factory at
the corner of Fifth and Main streets
last spring, but he soon gave it up.
nis sister, Mrs. Coon Vallery, com
mitted suicide by shooting herself
in this city about three years ago and
his mother passed away about four
months later. He was born in New
Orleans, Lt., in 1S-53, and after tho
death of his lather in 1865 he removed
to this city with his mother and sis
ter where he has since resided.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock under the auspi
ces of the Knights of Pythias lodge
and enterment will be made in Oak
Hill cemetery.
Owing to the fact that there was no
certainty as to how or when the man
met death Coroner Sattler decided to
hold an inquest, which was done at 2
o'clock this afternoon. The coroner's
jury found that Neiman met death by
his own hand fmm chlo'-oform.

The b ard of health has thoroughly
investigated the reported case of
smallpox and finds the report had no
foundation. The man who has been
ill is out attending to business, having
entirely recovered from his illness.
Owing to f..ct that Nebraska City and
Omaha are each afflicted with tha
dread diseas, however, every precau
tion will be taken that it m?y not

brought the rifle home with him and
it is a very queer looking gun. The
wood portion of it had all rotted off
and had been lost many years.
