Altho Suffering From a Great Loss
of Blood, Victim of Farm Shoot
ing Seems Improved.
Vrom Saturday's Dally
Mrs. Fritz Siemoneit, victim of
the wild shooting orgy of Joe Alts
pchaffle, farm hand of the Siemoneit
family, is now showing the most
pleasing improvement at the Imman
uel hospital in Omaha to which place
she was hurried early Friday morn
ing after the shooting.
The greatest danger to Mrs. Sie
moneit has been the fact that she
suffered such an enormous loss of
blood as the result of the wounds
and which was flowing for almost
an hour before the patient was able
to be placed in the hands of a phy
sician. The lady has shown the utmost
courage and her conduct at the time
of the shooting was most heroic in
her return to the house to rescue her
daughter and also to try and sum
mon help while the house was being
riddled by the shot gun shells and
the hired man still intent on his
work 01 wiping out the Siemoneit
family. There are very few men or
women that would have showed the
courage displayed by this lady who
bleeding from severe wounds and in
the face of almost certain death tried
to summon help.
Her most severe wound has been
that inflicted in the left shoulder,
this being very badly shattered and'
which offers the greates problem to
the attending surgeons as the mus
cles and tendons are torn and .
lacerated by the effects of the shots
and while the arm may be stiff as
the result of the injuries, every c f-(
fort will be made to get tne arm re
stored to its former usefulness.
Mr. Siemoneit returned home last
evening from the hospital where he
had sy-nt the day with the wife and
he reports that she was renting as
easily as was possible with the
wounds and the attendant shock that 1
had been suffered as the result f
the shooting. The patient was given j
nourishment at the hospital audi
seemed to be regaining a part of her ;
strength, despite the great amount of
blood that she had lost as the result
of the wounds.
The many friends trust that the
patient may continue to improve un-,
til she is able to return home here'
and resume her usual activities but '
she will probably have to spend some
time at the hospital.

Last evening the residents of the
city who are lovers of art and the
development of this important phase

ists cf the thirteenth century and
known as the father cf modern school
of art. The speaker took up the
Flemish. Dutch, German, French and
Spanish and traced the various
studies down to the present time.

slides, showing a great many of the
types of famous paintings of the var

the thorough lecture of Mr. Almy.

of the most pleasing and thorough
that has been heard in this city in
many ears.
