THE OMAHA DAILY BETC : WEIXN'ESDAY. AUGUST 0 , 18i)9. ) i Newspaper Carrier Finds a Dead Woman on V Park Avenue , BODY COVERED BY ABRASIONS AND BRUISES 1'olloc OIHolnln llcllcrc tlmt Tliorc linn lleeu Koul 1'lnr I'nml Mortem llln- ' ( Itnt Drntti In line to 'V- - Krncturc of .skull. A young woman named Llzzlo McCullIf waa found dead yeflterday morning In front of No. 1135 Park avenue by a newspaper carrier. She was lying fnco downward In the gutter. From a cut In the back of the head the blood won trickling Into tbe dust. The lad went close to the woman's pron- trato form and spoke to her , but received no answer. Ho felt of her hands and found them cold. The boy ran to the nearest doctor , H. C. Moore , and told of his discovery. When Dr. Moore reached the woman ho found that she hud been dead several hours. The pollco and the coroner were .Immediately notified and detoctlvro detailed to make on Investigation. People living In the neighborhood tell the detectives they wore Rwnken.nl about 11 o'clock Monday night by a woman's screams and the clatter of horses' hoofs on the pave ment. Some of them paid no attention to the nolso , hut others wore curious enough to go to the windows to sea whnt was hap pening. Galloping down the direct at full speed was a largo bay horse , drawing a light road buggy containing a man and a woman. The man ntood erect In the vehicle and lashed the horse at every Jump. The woman clung to the man's arm , screaming at the top of her voice. More than this no one saw. During the morning the pollco foamed that a young woman , corresponding In descrip tion to the ono found dead was scon at the corner of Twenty-ninth and Hickory streets , apparently waiting for scwno one. Half an hour later a young man driving a bay horse and light buggy stopped at the corner nnd assisted the woman into the vehicle. The coupia then drove away. Those who saw the Incident of the gallopIng - Ing horse about 11 o'clock , say the girl tried to leap from the buggy , but was prevented from doing BO by her escort. A postmortem examination of the young woman's body disclosed that death Was due to a fracture of the skull. There Ii a hole in the scalp at the back of the head nearly as large as a silver half dollar. It is beneath - noath the scalp at this point the fracture la located. The other marks on the body nro abrasions of the skin and black and blue bruises. The abrasions are on the right chock and the right shoulder , elbow and knee , apparently caused by scraping against the stone pave- inent. AVlint HllTcrciit I'crnonn Snw. Dr. W. H. Lavender , who conducted the autopsy , stated tha bruises about the arms nnd shoulders were finger marks. He thought thry must have been mad * by tha man try ing to hold the woman In the vehicle. Hun dreds of people called at the morgue during the morning to look at the 'body ' , but none was able to glvo any information that would lead to indentincatlon. C. A. Mcrrlman , a motorman on the Six teenth street car line , said the woman lived In Omaha , but ho did not know her address. He had scon her often on the cam Mrs. M. S. Foss , 1147 Park avenue , waa one of those who saw the woman and man in the buggy late at night. She gave a re porter the following description of the In cident : "I was awakened about 11:15 : o'clock by a woman's screams. On going to the window I saw a vehicle coming down the street with the hortw at a gallop. The occupants wora a man. and a woman. The woman was young and had red hair. She waa without a hat and was trying to Jump from the buggy when I flrst saw her. The man was standing erect , braced agaluut the dashboard , and was tugging on the reins with all his might. As the pavjtnent of Poppleton avenue is brick the vehicle made considerable noduc. At the corner of Park avenue , beneath Uio electric light , the driver Brought the horse to a trot. There was * man standing on the walk talking to the giirl and 'ho ran Into the street to stop the homo , supposing from the screams of the woman that the animal was run ning away. When the driver had the horse apparently under control , just as ha turned Into Park avenue , this man returned to the walk and the young woman stepped BCreamlug. After turning the corner I could toll from the Bounds of the hoofs that the horse was galloping again and I listened until I could no longer hear them. The horuo continued to gallop as long as I could hear , but thcro wore no more facreomB. " Mrs. Edward North , 1223 Park avenue , , and Mrs. James A. Sutherland , 1522 South Twenty-ninth avenue , heard the screaming ( nnd the galloping horse , but did not look : out of the window. George W. Rlnker , a carriage washer em ployed In a stable at Park and Popploton i avenues , saw the horse galloping along I Poppleton avenue toward Park , and sup posing from the woman's screams it was a ' runaway , ran out to try to stop it. When 1 the horse slackened speed to turn the cor ner , he stood and watched It pass. A few seconds later ho oaw the driver whip the ' animal Into a gallop. Rlnker gave a good ' description of the rig. Ho said the horce ! waa sorrel nnd the buggy was a light ono 1 with top lowered. ninkon said ho saw the man and woman 1 on the aldewalk mentioned by Mrs. Peas , and L overheard tbo man remark as the vehicle 1 passed : "That fellow's too big a fool to ' drive a horse like that. " : Describing the driver , Rlnken said he was ' a small man , appearing to bo about 22 yeara of age. Ho wore a dark Eult and n straw hat. Lottlo Ellis , 1318 Park avenue , said she 1 saw the buggy Just before It reached the 1 corner of Poppleton and Park avenues. At that tlmo the young woman tried to Jump 1 out , having ono foot over the wheel , but 1 was held back by her escort. George Monroe , a motor conductor living at t 2717 Meredith avenue , saw the couple drive past the switch where his car Btooil waiting for another. At 1045 ; George Munro , n conductor on the | Park avenue line , while waiting for another train ahead of him to switch at Twenty- t ninth and Hickory , saw a map and a uotncui 1 driving a dark bay or a brown horse pass. The man was whipping the horse furiously and the woman was screaming. When the ! \chlclo passed the car the woman called 1 to Munro to stop the horse , but there waa 1 1 , not time. She attempted several times to Jump out , but wtia hold back by the driver. Munro saw her bat blow off near the corner and afterward saw It lylnc In the gutter when the car returned. Appmrril to lie Wnltlniv for Home Oue. A significant preface to the tragedy Is contributed by M , J. Oreevy , Dr. William If. Shorraden nnd T. C. Van Duron , nil of whom llvu In the neighborhood. The three men wore standing at the corner of Twenty- ninth and Hickory streets early In the even ing when they noticed a woman of some what striking appearance who appeared to be watting for scnioane. When they first noticed her the was leaning against a trolley > pole on the southeast corner. She remained , ( here for everal minutes and finally walked j i ' away about 150 feet to a point where shu' j . wai protected from scrutiny by the shadow I I cast by the trees , Presently a man drove down Twenty-ninth street and stopped In , front of the spot where the woman was' standing. She got Into the buggy and the oouplo then droyo back on Twenty-ninth ttro t toward Loavenworth. Their de parture attracted their attention bec ue the i man seemed to be unaccustomed to handling A horse. He occupied several minutes In an awkward attempt to turn around In order to avoid passing the corner where the men wcro ntandlng. The upeotatora commented on the peculiar occurrence and noted that the tlmo was junt 8:30 : o'clock. Dr. Shcrraden lives at 1738 South Twenty-ninth street , nnd after ho had retired - tired ho won roused by two piercing screams In a woman's voice , which seemed to como from the neighborhood of Twenty-ninth and Hickory stroets. Then all was qulot , nnd after listening at the window for a few minutes ho decided that there was nothing serious on foot and returned to bed. That was the laot he thought of the matter - tor 1 until he heard of the discovery of the body ' of a woman on Park avenue early this morning. l Doth Mr. Orccvy and Dr. Shcrraden called at the morgue and partially Identi fied the body of the woman as that of the ono they saw waiting on the corner the previous evening. The 'resemblance In height and figure was perfect and the dead woman also wore n white bodlca above a dark waist that they had noticed as forming a part of the costume of the woman on the corner. They had not been close enouch to the woman to be able to identify her features , but oxoreascd the opinion that she and the victim are Identical. A large nnd somewhat conspicuous hat that formed part of the attlro of the woman on the street has not been found and If this is produced It will strong-then the Identification. Mr. Orcovy also visited Robertson's livery stable In company with the dotcotlvcs nnd selected a buggy that , ho said , looked exactly i like the ono In which the man drove to keep his appointment. It was then learned that this buggy was out during the evening nnd the detectives are now looking for the man who used It. Mrs. Vrndcnburg and Mies Cameron , who reside near Twenty-ninth and Hickory streets , confirm the statement that the Boreami were uttered between 11 o'clock and 11:30. : They were sitting on the front porch when they heard two weird shrieks nnd when they learned of the discovery of the body they Immediately connected them with the tragedy. A man named Estes , employed at Rob ertson's barn on Leavenworth street , saw a man driving north on Park avenue a little after 11 o'clock. Estcs nnd his wife were strolling south on that avonuo. A young man , wearing n white felt hat , occupied the buggy. The horse was csmall nnd the vehicle waa what is known ns a box buggy. The "top waa down , giving a fair view of the man , who attracted attention by the speed he was making. Mr. Robertson says no rig of that description was hired at his barn last night. The iVnmiin IH Ir'.oiitlflcd. The body was Identified at 3-15 : o'clock by Joe W. Walker , a barber living at 2210 Clark street. Walker said the girl's name was Llzzlo McCullIf. Ho remembered hav ing boarded In the same neighborhood with her a year ago. Later the Identification was made complete by Mrs. George Bagley nnd Thercse Gurtle , living at 1318 Daven port street , the former having been the young woman's roommate for the last week. Mrs. Bagloy said Miss McCullIf did not return home Monday night nor Tuesday morning , and having become alarmed about her , she wont to make Inquiries at the po lice station. There Captain Her surmised that the missing girl was the one at the morgue and ho took the two women to identify her. Mrs. Bagley told the police the McCullIf girl worked for two years as a servant In a private family at South Omaha. Last wock she gave up the place there and came to the city to find another. Having been acquainted with Mrs. Gurtle , she went to live In the same lodging house. Through her roommate , ( Mrs. Bagley , she obtained a position as waitress In the Union restaurant , Twelfth street , between Farnom and Douglass , beginning work there Mon day. day.Mrs. Mrs. Gurtle told the police that she and Llzzlo McCullIf were frlonds In Sioux Fallfl two years ago , before both came to this city. She said Miss McCulllfs par ents moved from Sioux Falls to Denver last year , and that the father had written his daughter announcing an Intended visit hero next week. Mrs. Gurtle said the young woman was exceedingly bashful and unused to men's company. She remained In her room moat of the time when not working. At 7 o'clock Monday evening Miss McCul lIf returned home , changed her dress and went out. She was not seen again. Identity of the Man. At tha Union restaurant where Lizzie McCuirif worked ono day the first tangible clew was obtained to the identity of the man who took the waitress riding. The proprietor's wife , Mrs. P. Mehres , said Lizzie McCullif came to work Monday noon , At dinner tlmo a guest was attracted by her nppearnnco and asked her to accept | an Invitation to drive that evening. After ward the McCullIf girl told Mrs. Mehres she 'never oaw the man before , but consented to take the ride. She went home from work at 7 o'clock. | An hour later the guest drove to the restaurant - taurant door and asked for the girl. When told she had gene he drove away. Before ' | leaving ho asked Mrs. Mehrea to take care ' , of a small satchel , which ho handed to her , j until his return. I A canvass of the livery stables disclosed ' that a man corresponding to the description given by Mrs. Mohres hired a sorrel horse ; ' and light buggy at tbo stable of H. A. Homan , 413 South Thirteenth street , The man was known to the stable employes as "Steve , " as lie had worked at the barn two years ago. "Stevo"wao accompanied by an employe of the Haroey Street Stables named Robert Jones , nicknamed "Denver. " Denver paid for the rig and both men drove away in it. This was about 8 o'clock. At 11:20 : "Stevo" returned with the horse sweating and foam-lleckod , Ho merely remarked , as ho tossed the reins to the hostler , Charlek Whitney , "I drove him pretty hard , didn't I ? " The whip was lost and the check rein broken , It learned that " ' was "Steve'1 had worked for E. O. Jackson , a liveryman , at 315 South Twenty-eighth street. Inquiry at the stable elicited the Information that the man's last name was unknown , ho having been always called "Steve. " Ho had begun work at Jackson's July 22 and quit Monday at noon , Ho was about to bo discharged for 111 using the horses In his care. In the satchel left at the Union restaurant was a quantity of laundered articles , In- eluding ahlrts nnd collars , marked with the initials "J , I ) , If. " It was learned that the satchel and contents were the property or John D , Harrlsan , an employe with whom "Stero" had roomed nt the stable.

A Itevlvnl of I < nt Year'n .Mont At tractive Show. How to save the lives of prematurely born or of very delicate Infants , la a problem - lom which has confronted the mlnda of medical men since the earnest times. The flrst record of efforts made to save such children Is found in the bible. During the days of Solomon , wo are told , parents un dertook to save their little ones by wrap ping them In sheepskin. But of the se quel -of the experiment no mention was made. The peasants of Silesia and Westphalia sometimes put weak Infants in a Jar of feathers and placed the Jar near the fire place. In England the cradle waa put near the hearth and It was necessary to tend the fire day and nlcht , so the temperature wouM not vary. Later , It was found to bo good to place hot water bottles and Jugs In the cot or cradle. This system Is still employ ed among the common people and at some maternity hospitals. None of these de vices have proved reliable. Their euccens or failure depending upon the care or neglect of the attendant , the accidental opening of a door or window , or a sudden storm at night so reduced the temperature of the room as to cause the llne3 ! of the child and defeat the effect of the most elaborate precautions. Dr. Farnler , In 1878 , witnessed the work ings of artificial couveuses for the rearing of animals. The Idea entered his mind that a similar apparatus might be con structed sufficiently large to accomodate a child. He consulted M. Odlle Martin , the Inventor of the couveuse and together they formulated a design of an Infant Incuba tor. Before the year 1S80 had closed , the Incubator was In operation. It was a sort of box with double metallic sides. The space between the walla was filled with hot water in order to maintain the required temperature within the box , but as It had to bo reheated several times a day , the temperature was sure to vary. This apparatus necessitated the daily em ployment of three attendants. The follow ing quotation , taken frccn a report by Dr. Vallln to the Academy of Medicine of Francs ( November 12 , 1895) ) , speaks for the success of the Odlle Martln-Farnler cou- vouie : "We are obliged to regard as premature ly born all Infanta who do not weight at birth two kilogrammes , 500 grammes ( five Ibs. nine oz. ) , and they are numer ous , for the proportion is set down at from fifteen to thirty per cent of fho births. The mlnuto and delicate care which these weakly Infants require , especially in winter - ter , to protect them from cold Is so great that until now moat of them have died , but Dr. Vallln Justly commended the Incubator when hu added , "since Dr. Farnler Intro duced at the Paris Maternity hospital the Ingenious contrivance called n 'couveuse' a Inreo number of these Infants have been saved. " This apparatus , however cannot be read ily employed , It Is necessary that a num ber of experienced persons shall bo always In attendance , for a delay of twenty-four to forty-eight hours might result In the death of the new-born Infant. During the years between 1880 and 1895 , many bright minds In Europe were engaged in the task of perfecting an Incubator which would bu automatic , well ventilated and woufd dispense with the numerous at tendants. That such an apparatus Is now on exhibition , public thanks are due Dr. Paul Altmnn , a German physician. Since Its Invention the Altman Infant Incubator has been exhibited In London , New York , and Omaha. At Queen Victoria's Diamond Jublloo exhibition tbe workings of the In cubator were witnessed by 207,000 people. This was In 1897. Soon it was exhibited In Now York. There the physicians met with unparalleled success and saved eighty- five per cent of tbo children placed In their charge. At the Transmlfslsslppl exposi tion lost year the lives of only two children were lost out of fourteen cases. The growth and development of the babes was closely watched by many professional Omaha people and\ the exhibit was visited by over 100,000 people from all parts of the country. A deep Interest was taken In the Institution by tbo local and visiting physicians. SCI5MOS AI/O.VO Till : Mill WAV.

It Is the old trick that has been worked In scores of political cam paigns. Conscious that nine tenths of Uio republican voters nro steadfastly opposed i > 3 weighting the ticket with Frank , they i are working lo pack the convention with his ifrlends under the pretense of supportIng - Ing the ambitions of candidates for other ' offices who can bo conveniently dropped ns soon at they hnvo been mndo to serve j the purpose of the court hoiiso combine. j This Is the plan on which Johnny McDon- I aid , Jim Wlnspcar and half a dozen others i ! have been quietly plugging for some tlmo ' and the result of their preparations Is now j becoming apparent. The old ndago that thcro Is a sucker born every minute has lost none of Its virtue in the estimation of these crafty manipulators. They have discovered th.it when a man cherishes a hankorlm ; after ' a public olllco It Is the easiest thin ; ; in 'the ' world to make him think that over ) i voter ho sees Is holding his breath waiting : for a chance to help him get It. There Is nothing like a now and partially digested ambition to make the ordinary citizen a promising subject for the political green Roi/Js man and on this principle the plug- gcrs pin their faith. Early In the campaign the gang decided thnt < , lt should be a part of Its program to head off Louts Burmester's candidacy for sheriff. McDonald and his crowd Im mediately discovered that Charley Unltt was a good thing and their efforts wcro Immediately enlisted to assist him to con trol the Ninth ward delegation. Unltt was made to believe that he was the only man In the race and that the gang was for him lo a man. Soon after grapevine communication was opened with Miles Mitchell In South Omaha , an ex-deputy of McDonald's , who Imme diately bobbed up as an open candidate. Later the connection was switched to the Eighth ward and Charley Pedersen was Induced to believe that all he had to do waste to Jump Into the ring to got the nomina tion. And now comes Morris Morrison of the First ward with n similar ambition of his own and McDonald , Frank and Wlnspear have agreed to help him put In a delega tion. And while these candidates are led to believe that the combine Is with them to the last ditch preparations are quietly un der way to load up each delegation with men who can be depended on to promote the interests of Frank and McDonald. * The newest stab In this line Is in the Sixth ward , where McDonald and Wlnspear openly announce their Intention to put In a Frank delegation In opposition to I. (1. Bayrlght. In this case the gang experienced a little difficulty In securing a stool pigeon and was compelled to vary Its program. It was proposed to mask the Frank delega tion aa being In the Interests of Robert Fink for county treasurer and E. C. Wol- cott for county Judge. But these gentle men decided that they wanted to be real live candidates or nothing and declined to pose as dummies at Wlnspear's dictation. In default of a better excuse the gang has now decided to put up an unpledged deles gallon , label It "Antl-Rosewater" nnd make a really thorough teat of the credulity of the voters. Most of what was known In previous campaigns as the "Wlnspear gang" have been ) seduced Into the belief that this offers them a chance to get even for some o { 'tho grievances cherished from previous primary lights. The old game has been worked too often , however , to fool any largo proportion of the voters and the real object of the maneuver is pretty thoroughly understood. The can didates really In earnest for nomination are opposed to Frank because they realize that ho would be a tremendous handicap for them to carry nnd the rank and file are almost solidly against him because they knonvthat he would bo defeated. * The silver republicans are said to have decided to support James W. Carr as their candidate for district Judge at the coming Judicial conventions of the fusion parties. This leaves Scott outside the breastworks and his friends are now working to secure his nomination by tbe populists. * * The fact that Walter Molse , Charley Fan ning and ono or two other democrats , who have posed as the supporters of Harry Mil ler for sheriff , are now boosting the more recent boom of Con Gallagher , recalls the fact that Miller has been singularly un fortunate In his friends. Again and again he has gone into a campaign with a good deal of apparent strength and In every case the men on whom ho depended most stren uously have tossed him ever the transom bafaro they got Into the convention. And now the general opinion of watchful demo crats Is that history repeats Itself. The Judges nominated on the republican Judicial ticket have so far done no active campaigning. Chairman Bnldrige of the Judicial committee will call the committee together early next month and at that time the general plan of campaign will be adopted. * * It Is mournfully admitted In the Seventh [ LXTTEX TO UBS.
