TRAGEDY FOL LOWS OMAHA ELOPER ENT WEDDING OF REIMAN DUNLAP AND MISS ETHEL TIERNEY IN THIS CITY BSIKCS TRAGEDY The elopement and wedding of Kay Dunlap and Kthel Tierney of South Omaha on Tuesday of this week was followed by the tralic shouting Of the groom yesterday noon In that city tiy the mother of the bride. Mrs. Mike Tierney. at the home of Mrs. Tiernev, i2nd and Y streets. South Side. The two young people came to I'lj'tcmouth Tue-rtny r.f trrr.nr.r. and visited the court house where they made application for a marriage li cense, stating that their residence was at Union, in the southern por tion of Cass county. The croom also grave the ape of the bride as eighteen years while the mother of the young woman stated in Omaha yesterday that she was but sixteen years of age. The wedding here was performed by Judge Allen J. Reeson and was witnessed by Mr. and Mr. M. M. Hill, who had accompanied the bridal couple here. The shoot ing seems to be the outcome of a fued of several years between the two families as statements made to the Omaha police by members of the families and acquaintances of the two parties, indicated that the two families, aside from the young man and woman who have become the chief factors of the shooting, have not been on friendly terms and have not Fpoken for years. Mr. Imnlap In company with a friend, Harry Downing, called at the Tierney home yesterday noon and af ter a short argument with Mrs. Tierney the climax was brought about when the mother procuring a revolver shot Dunlap, who was hur ried to the South Side hospital where he died two hours later. From statements made by the po lice it seems that Dunlap was under bonds for a box car robbery recently and had not been out of jail long. The family of Mrs. Dunlap claim that they were unaware of her pres ent whereabouts and this fact was cne of the things contributing to the shooting. The aged mother who did the shooting was taken into custody ft her home and later removed to the Douglas county jail to await the fil ing of charges. When sheriff deputies ' arrived, Mrs. Tierney coolly turned over the 22 caliber revolver with which she had done the shooting, but refused to make any statement. "I did all I could first." was the only comment she would make. Her daughter, Margaret. 22 years old. told the police the reason for her mother's act. "He took Ethel away from us Sun day and we haven't seen either of them until this noon when Iiunlai came here with Harry Downing, who lives at Fifty-first and & streets." she aid. "We don't know where Ethel is yet." Neighbors told of hearing a dis pute followed quickly by revolver shots. A pathetic scene was enacted In the Tierney home when officers at tempted to take Mrs. Tierney to the station. Her two youngest children, Clara, 11. and George 9, clung to their mother, threw their arms around her neck, sobbing and kissing her. "Oh, mamma, you've got to come back! Ethel is gone and now they're going to take you away, mamma," they cried. "Mother will be all right. She'll come back," Mrs. Tierney reassured he children but it was necessary for the eldest sister. Margaret, to come to her toother's ass-is'ance in releas ing her frjin til'. children's hold. Deputy Sheriffs N'uk Halter anil Mc(!wy:i!U' were visibly affected am! with difficulty performed the duty of t!iir f-Jlice in n moving the woman t the station. Mrs. Tierney i - separated from her husband. Last Sunday Esther Tierney is .-aid to have been out in a car with si. me man and met Dunlap. Me got into the car with them and had not been seen since until Friday. "I am the sole guardian of my lit tl ones. I have to protect them. I did that today!"' Thus Mrs. Tierney explained why she shot Dunlap. as she sat in the sheriff's ollice awaiting to be taken "up stairs" to the county jail. "I ask"d him where he had taken Esther: he refused to tell me. 1 know that lie knew where she was. Friends told me they saw her with him." she explained. "Did you believe he mistreated votf daughter?" s-he was asked. "Of cctM"-e he did. I lnd evidence and knowledge that he did." she said. ?.lrs. Tierney is a slight little wom an, her hair dark and untinged with gray. She seemed ccol and collected. When told that Dunlap was about to die. Mrs. Tierney threw up her hands with a pathetic gesture. "I'll take what is coming to me," she said.

The land purchased by the two new owners includes the old White home near King Hill, one of the best known farms in that portion of Cas3 countv. Mr. White retains 1C0 acres of his farming land, which at present ! is being fanned by Wesley Hill, but all the other land is taken over to gether with the growing crops, by Messrs. Cromwell and VaT :rv. The deal gives the new owners one) of the most attractive farms in the eastern portion of Cass county and one that has become one of the fea-. ture places of the county. The trans-' fer has been an extensive one and shows the rustling spirit of these two live real estate dealers. I The farm has been well developed by Mr. White and will lie found a ' good investment for the new owners, who take possession in a short time. "I believe In the principles of the league of nations and am extremely sorry that both of the political par ties do not come out flatly for them." said Bishop K. V. Shayler of the Kpiscopal church in an interview with a World-Herald reporter. "Personally. I feel the republicans by their failure to make an affirma tive stand on this subject now of so great importance to the world, have shown a feeling of selfishness. I shall not vote for a candidate who does not come out flatly for the league." Bishop Shayler formerly was af filiated with the republican party and has supported its policies. Bishop Shayler. who as head of the Protestant KpLscopal church in this territory, occupies a commanding position in the religious world, said he was speaking for himself alone, but he has uttered similar sentiments in his ferraons in the recent past and has told congregations of the church that principles of the league should be indorsed by the American nation and that any other attitude by this country would place it in a false light before the world at large. The bishop recently returned from attending the Lambeth conference of ! churchmen in England where he had an especially favorable opportunity t sound sentiment as it was expressed in that country. "I beard Lloyd George in an ad dress declare the nations of the world, already in the league, would be disposed to let .nierica practical ly have her own way in entering this world organization. He said the smaller nations especially had been looking across the water for the moral support of their allies in the United States and that the wel come for this nation in the league of nations would not be hedged about by any conditions such as some on this side of the water seem to fear. "It seems to me the principles of the league would go very far just now toward clarifying the world sit uat ion. "While abroad. I was permitted to get many viewpoints on present dav subjects at meetings of the English Speaking Union. Americans gener ally, who have lived abroad for a time, took the view that by joining the league of nations this country would not endanger its interests in any way and I quite agreed with them. "It Is with deep regret that I see the stand taken by the republicans on this vital issue." World-Herald. FOREMAN SHOCKED AT THE REVELATIONS Grand Jury Determined to Go to the Bottom of Baseball Gambling Amazing Testimony by Benton RETURNS FROM THE WEST Sheriff C. D. Quinton returned last evening from the west wheie he has been for the past few days looking after some legal matters in the western part of Nebraska and also visiting for a short time in Col orado where he has extensive land interests. While at Grant the sher iff enjoyed a short visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Major Hall and family and found them in the best of health and enjoying the greatest of success i-i their farm work, with plentiful crops. He also reports that James Marasek. formerly of this county Is constructing a fine new home on his farm and has been very successful in his work in Perkins county in the last few years and now has one of the finest and well im proved farms in that locality. Mr. Quinton found the conditions of his own farm the very best and the re sult of the year's crop has been the best in that portion of Colorado for several years. A Grateful Letter It is in trying conditions like that related below by Mrs. George j Li. xortn ol isapies, is. y., that proves, the worth of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. "Two years ago ' last summer," she says, "our little, boy had dysentery. At that time we! were living in the country eight miles : from a doctor. Our son was taken ill suddenly and was about the sick est child I ever saw. He was in ter rible pain all the time and passed' from one convulsion into another. 1 1 sent my husband for a doctor and af-t ter he was gone thought of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the cupboard. I gave him some of it and he began to improve at once. By the time the doctor ar rived he was out of danger." Chicago, Sept. 24. Investigation of a report that George M. Cohan. New York theatrical producer, and Mont Tennes of Chicago, had lost large sums bet on last year's world series was understood today to be under consideration by the Cook county grand jury, which next Tues day will resume hearing testimony on charges that the series was "fixed" for Cincinnati to win. Published reports place Cohan's losses at $30,000 and Tennes at $80,000. The inquiry into the "fixing" charges will be pushed to the limit, according to a statement made by Henry H. Grigham. foreman of the grand Jury, who declared that he was "shocked at the rottenness so far revealed." He added that "Chicago, New York. Cincinnati and St. Louis gam blers are bleeding baseball and cor rupting players." States Attorney Hoyne. according to a statement received from him in New York, declared he "had no doubt that the 1919 series was crooked and that at least one Chicago player was crooked." He added that a report that Cohan and Tennes had informa tion regarding alleged base ball crookedness would be thoroughly in vestigated by his office. Rube Benton. New York Giants' pitcher, who told the grand jury yes terday of being offered a bribe to lose a game, naming "Buck" Herzog. Hal Chase and "Heine" Zimmerman in connection with the alleged offer in a statement published today, named four White Sox players as having been named to him by an alleged member of a baseball gamb ling ring in a discussion of alleged "fixing" of the 1919 series. These players, Benton declared, were Ed die Cicotte, pitcher of the first game; Claude Williams, pitcher in the sec ond; Chick Candil. first baseman, and "Hap" Felsch, center fielder. Ac cording to Benton's statement the players were mentioned by a Cincin nati "betting commissioner" named Hahn. Benton said that five White Sox players demanded $100,000 for "throwing" the series and that this was paid them by a group of Pitts burg gamblers.
