ROMANCE OFONE CITY LOT
Jessie Flanagan Comes to See About
" it and Will Stay.
AND . NOW SHE IS MARRIED
Jf. W. Westeramrd Hlps Her to Lo
cate the Lot and It Now the
Hoaband of the Pretty
Girl.
K. W. Westergard Is married. It's a
romance. Hers It Is:
Chapter I.
j Jessie Flanagan was a pretty little girl
of nineteen or . twenty summers. It
doesn't really matter how many. The Im
portant facts axe that she was pretty and
little. She lived in Little Sioux, la. She
is the heroine of this romance and the
fact that she lived In Little Sioux proves
it. Somebody had to live In Little Sioux
and when Jessie found out she was there
she stayed. Nobody can deny that this
was heroism.
Chapter II.
One day Jessie came Into possession of
an Omaha city lot. Just how this hap
pened Isn't known, but it's Immaterial,
anyhow. Jessie had to go to Omaha to
see about the title to the lot. It hap
pened to be a busy day In Omaha and
everybody snapped out answers to her
questions and she wasn't a bit happy.
But when she got to the county court
office she met Bill. Bill smiled. He al
ways does that, but this was the big
gest smile anyone ever saw on Bill's
face.
Chapter III.
' From then on Jessie had no trouble.
I ttook her all day to find out all the
big things she wanted to know about the
lot, but she didn't seem to mind. You
see, Bill was helping . her look up the
records all over the building and every
time she found out a little more about
the lot she found out a little more about
Bill. The more she found out about Bill
the less she cared whether she found
out anything more about the lot
Chapter IV.
"Jessie went home. She wrote to Bill
and he wrote to her. The letters got to
flying back pretty rapidly. ' By and by
trains weren't swift enough and the
long distance telephone was used between
letters. It took Just three months for
the situation to develop this far.
Chapter V.
Oh, well. Bill went on his vacation
Wednesday morning. This morning his
brother, Dan, received word from him
that ha had married Jessie in Kansas
City, Mo. It seems she had been visiting
friends in St. Joseph and had dropped
over to Kansas City to meet him and
have the operation performed. They'll be
here Wednesday.

INSURANCE COMPANY PAYS
HAAS' POLICIES AND INTEREST
After a ten-year fight against the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York to collect on two 15,500 policies
carried by her deceased husband, Mrs.
Ida L. Haas won in district court yester
day morning when the company confessed
judgment for $17,000 and paid the money
to Charles S. Elgutter, Mr. Hass' attor
ney. The $6,000 diffirence between the faces
of the policies and the amount of the
Judgment represents interest that has
accumulated since Mr. Haas' deah.
The suit was fought out twice in the
district court and twice was appealed to
the supreme court. After the recent third
trial in the district court the company
indicated it again would appeal, but it
thought better of this decision and de
cided to pay the Judgment.
Bridge Across River
is a Necessity, Says
President of U. P.
Speaking of the proposed bridge across
the Missouri river at Omaha, President
Mohler of the Union Paelfio says that
the bill was Introduced in congress be
cause a second bridge Is needed. When
the construction of the bridge will be
started Mohler was unable to say. Much
will depend upon general busines condi
tions this year. When built the bridge
will be a short distance to the north of
the present one.
Coming along with construction of the
second bridge by the Union Pacific Is a
proposition to materially enlarge the
passenger train yards at the Union sta
tion. This is likely to be done as soon as
the tenant roads can get together and
agree upon plans. This may be within a
short time, or it may be a year or more.
Representatives of all the Interested roads
agree that more room is needed for the
passenger trains using the Union sta
tion, but they are not ready to take
action.
W. D. Marks, expert appraiser working
under contract for the city in determin
ing the value of the gas company's phys
ical property, will deplete the city s
treasury by the sum of $T,(V or more.
His. bills already total $S.612 1 and the
expenses for the month of June are not
reckoned therein. .
Mr. Marks' expenses for May. including
his salary of $50 per day. which amounted
to $1,550, total $2,445.45. Incidentals. Includ
ing salaries of assistants who are board
ing and rooming at the Henshaw at city
expense, amount to JS95 4S.
It is believed the work of the expert
will be completed within another week.
Mr. Marks says about all that is left U
the making of his report.
Bill to Be Held Vp.
May expenses of the expert appraiser
have not been allowed by the city com
missioners. They will hold up his bill
until a quiet investigation is made. It is
alleged that employes of the present ad
ministration have been paid generously
for "extra time," and If such report Is
true the violation of the commission s
first ruling that subordinates must de
vote their eight hours dally to the city
may be punished, if it is found that
such employes worked for Marks on city
time and drew salary from the city In
addition to the pay received from the
expert.
When Mr. Marks was secured to make
the appraisal of the property of the gas
company It was understood the cost
would not be in excess of $3,500 or $4,000.
However, under his contract his ex
penses are all paid by the city.
These expenses are chieflv for hoard

Confidence Gang is
Behind the Bars
With the arrest of N. C. Larsen and
G. A. Hemes of Minneapolis yester
day by Detectives Heitfeldt and Dona
hue, a gang of professional confidence
men who have been working Omaha the
last few weeks was broken up. Ed Mar
tin and Louis Hagen, the other two mem
bers of the gang, were arrested Wednes
day morning and given ninety days in
jail.
Martin posed as a contractor who was
looking for helpers. Hagen was book
keeper and Larson timekeeper. Hemes
acted as general manager. The four would
hire some "victim'' to work on a large
contract which they had Just landed. In
cidentally they would drop Into a saloon
and a game of cards would follow. They
played with a stacked deck and would
soon have their victim trimmed.
Walt Lemig, who donated $38 to the
cause, identified the two men.
