TIGHT REIN BEING HELD ON NEBRASKA RAILROADS; BALKING Angry Magnates May Resist In creased Assessments--Pass Law Evasion Must Stop. Lincoln, Neb., June 4.—Attorneys ol the Burlington and Union Pacific rail-, roads spent all day yesterday trying to convince the state commission that they meant no disrespect in not com plying with the order to report their pass lists, but that really it was too much of a Job. They said that there were from U.000 to 8,000 annuals that are good on Nebraska lines, but that most of these were issued in other Jurisdictions, In other states. Chairman Winnett was the only member present, and he was inclined to the belief that the board did not care to have the complete list, but only those issued good for within the state. Would Nullify Act. This pleased the attorneys, but it is likely that when they return they will find that the board did not mean just that. It has since dawned upon the chairman that the roads could easily nullify the entire pass law and make ridiculous any restrictions of the board by issuing passes good for the holder between Nebraska points and Sioux City or Council Bluffs or some other point Just without the state, thus mak ing it. inter-state business, upon which they need not report. It is likely that the board will insist that all passes issued to residents of Nobras1 a, whether good within the state or between joints in Nebraska and other states must be reported. —>— 4 4 4 LINOTYPE VICTIMIZES 4 * PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. 4 4 Lincoln, Neb..

VIFE DESERTS TO CURE LOYER OF DRINK Cody, Wyo., June 5.—The sacrifices oi love are forever new. Giving up he* beautiful home, the luxuries of wealth and the social leadership that these} things involve, Mrs. Evelyn Raue, young and beautiful, wife of a promi nent physician of Philadelphia, has taken up her residence on a Wyoming ranch, in the hope of winning from the allurements of drink a young society man of equal prominence in the east. ' About one month ago G. Gordo Mas sey, son of General George V. Massey, ichief counsel for the Pennsylvania rail-, jroad, disappeared from Dover. Del. Ho (was 30, a college man, and well known tin the fast set of several eastern cities, iHe had a beautiful wife and three chil Jdren in Dover. A short time after his 'disappearance Mrs. Raue als disap peared from her Philadelphia home. There was nine days’ gossip, and the jevent has not ceased to bo talked of. ' Valet Goes, "She” Comes, i It now develops that young Massey sought an opportunity to cure himself; lof the drink habit far from his former (associates, on Sam Aldrich's "Dude” ranch near Cody. A few days after his (arrival he discharged the valet who had accompanied him, and the next day Mrs. Raue appeared on the scene. Her arrival created a sensation. She; is a very handsome and vivacious blonde and her gowns were several sea sons in advance of ranch styles. The way in which she proceeded to take( care of young Massey added to the sur prise that her visit inspired. They, moved to a more secluded ranch on Tail creek, five miles from Cody, and set up housekeeping. When Mrs. Raue came to Cody, Mas-l sey celebrated the event by buying un limited champagne for everybody he could find to drink with him. The re-; suit was the attempt at isolation whiclj was made the next day. With a ‘‘Bad Man.” Last week Massey escaped from the ranch in company with a “bad man", named Berry. Tory came to Cody and. proceeded to illuminate the town. When; Mrs. Raue discovered the state of af-i fairs, she rode across the desert to the town, captured Massey and his com panion and, hiring a carriage, took them both back to the ranch on Tail creek. Twice she has been thrown from a broncho and has figured in two run aways, but her devotion to the young man is such and her hopefulness of winning him away from his evil hab its so great that this delicately nur tured eastern girl has accepted every hardship with a smile. Massey’s wife in the east has begun proceedings for divorce.
