Minneapolis Woman Has Tcr-

THOUGHT HEU OWN DOY KILLED
Out Arrlvlno at Humphrey , After
Many Hours of Sleepless Worry ,
She Dlscoveis Tliat It Is Another
Mother's Son.
Humphrey , Nob. . April 2. Spec
ial to The NOWH : Mrs. H. O'Brien
of MlnnoapollM reached here In the
night to Identify Iho murdered man
as her son. Ho proved to bo not hoi-
son at all. The body was at noon
today shipped lo Lincoln under the
law which so provides , and ho will
bo iiHod as a subject for the experi
menting iiurgcoii'a knife.
Expecting to find thnt the young
man who wan miirdored near Hum
phrey wnH no ether than her own ROD ,
MI-H. 13. O'Brien of Minneapolis ,
Minn. , arrived In Norfolk last night
nnd hurried on by driving until morn
ing. In order to roach her destina
tion. When the cover was lifted from
the pale cold face of the boy who
wont to hlB death from a murdorer'H
bullet , that mother , who had boon
under ono of the severest strains possible
sibleHlnco Wednesday , looked Into
the eyes and realized with a terrible
|
fooling of rollof that her alarms had
boon without foundation that some
other mother's son lay killed In a
strange land and that her boy Jlmmlo
was still nllvo iiomowhoro.
Dramatic Story.
The story Is a dramatic ono through
out a tragedy in real life that Is
iioldom seen enacted except upon a
theatrical Htngo.
Mrs. K. O'Brien lives nt1011 Four
teenth avenue , Southeast Minneapo
lis. She IH a widow who has by hard
labor roared a family of young men
that she Is justly proud of. On
Wednesday afternoon of this week
nho sat In the window of her flat ,
trying to glvo comfort to a son who
was 111. Toward evening the * boys
with evening papers appeared and
cried out for the sale of tholr news.
The lonely widow hold her head out
of the window and beckoned to the
urchin. Ho came to the door and she
bought a "Tribune , " Iho only paper
which contained the dispatch that
has caused so much worry nnd so
much untold nnd Indescribable misery
slnco then.
Glancing down the telegraphic
IIOWH , Mrs. O'Brien came to an As
sociated Prnss dbffiatch from , Nor
folk , Neb. , which gave an account of
the finding of a murdered man near
Humphrey , the name William O'Brien
on a card tlu\t \ ho carried and his ago
at twenty-two years ; the description
l"also .stated that ho was dark haired
and smooth shaven. Mrs. O'Brien
thought little of the Incident until '
the son who lay 111 , a nmn of twenty-
.
nine , raised up In bed with a torrlllcd !
glance nnd suddenly exclaimed ,
"Mother ! That IH Jim ! "
Mystery of Jim.
James D. O'Brien Is a young man
of twenty-two. Ho has been on the
Pacific coast all winter and wont down
to tlio races at Oakland nftor a spoil
of Illness. On March 11 ho wrote 'H
letter that says , " 1 am starting for
homo today. " Nothing slnco hns
boon heard of him. The letter bore
.
a San Francisco postmark. And '
from the fact that the son had been
so long onrouto and that nothing bad
been hoard of him at all , fears grow
as to his safety and the finding of n
body murdered which hnd some con-
nectlon , with the name of O'Brien and
which was about right In ago , gave
the family n fright that can never bo
fully gotten over.
Tlio more they figured the more
probable did it seem that this young
man might bo the ono who bi 'onged
to them. In coming home , the direct
route would bo along the Union 1'n-
clllc to Columbus , Nob. , nnd thence
to Norfolk- , via Humphrey.
"It may bo thnt ho has made an
enemy nt the races , " they figured.
"And that enemy may hnvo followed
the boy this far to kill him. "
To learn more certainly , n letter
wns sent to tlio sheriff at Humphrey
enclosing n photograph of the young
man at homo. "If this has nny re
semblance , " they wrote , "wire us at
onco. "
All of that long night until Thurs
day morning the fearful mother nnd
the ether son were awake , thinking
of the possibilities of the case and
imagining features of It that must
make it seem tlio more likely that
the dead man belonged to their house
hold.
The Dispatch Came.
On Thursday tha hours dragged
nnd oven the minutes scorned llko
days. They waited and watched for
the messenger boy or for perhaps the
arrival of 'Jlmmlo * to shatter all of
their alarm. But neither camo. They
ate a bite of supper they cared for
llttlo in the way of food and along
toward 0 o'clock , when the streets
were dark and the house was lone
some and gloomy and chilly with the
night , there cnmo a rapping , n gentle
tapping nt their chamber door. With
a nervous stop the mother answered
the call and a llttlo messenger boy
gnvo up n scaled dispatch. With
what trembling nnd awful terror that
woman carried the sheet of telegraph
paper to the light to road , may per
haps never bo appreciated by the
who linn not gene through the
experience. Her finger * toro open
iho mlHHlvo and she road : "Coino to
Humphrey nt once. I'lcturo roHom-
II.b
bleu ! murdered man. "
That nettled It ( | iilto positively.
They | were now auro that away down
boio ! l ( In NehniHhn , In the linndH of to
tal ntrniiRnrH , tholr own Jim hnd boon
cruelly killed. The niolher , true to
the nulum of womnn , Blood thoHhock
far better than her Htrong young HOII.
Ho wont nil to plocen nnd wns utterly -
ly unable , BO stricken with grlof , to
even attempt the trip. The mother ,
bravo and courageous nt a llmo when
absolute fortltudo WIIH needed , got
rondy that night and took the llrsl
train for Norfolk.
CJulto oxhnuHtod from the strain
that Hho had boon under for ao many
slooiilcss hours , she was weak and
troubled when Hho ate mippor In n
bolol here and when Hho waited for
tbo loamstor who was to drive her
to MndlHon. Moanwhllo she gave her
Htory to Tbo NOWH. At Madison she
nmdo nrnnigcmonls to take a fresh
lenin nnd to hurry on , through tbo
night , to Humphrey. At 9 o'clock
loft here with the driver nnd , suf-
forlng from the awful agony of a
fear lost her fears might prove true ,
iflio wns off for the south.
Under a Tencc Strain.
"I'm not myself , " she explained , ns
who deliberately nnd calmly recited
the dctnllfl of the " '
story. "I don't
HIOW ! It , but I've gene all to pieces.
And doesn't It seem strange that a
man , twenty-nine years old , couldn't
come becaiiHo of his grief , while I ,
Iho mother , have stood this terrible
Journey ? "
But It Is not strange In psychol
ogy. H IH tbo Kamo proposition thnt
IH experienced In the tragedy of
"Macbeth , " where Lady Macbeth ,
with that llrst Impulse of courage ,
forces Iho stabbing with the fiercest
of cold blood , whllo tbo man Mac
beth Is backward and fearful and lies-
Itnlos until ho Is laughed nt nnd told
to . "screw up hlH courage to tlio stickIng -
Ing point. " Later Lady Macbeth Is
overcome and walks In her sleep and
becomes quite Insane , withal , while
ho , the tide of ills nerve having
turned , goes out boldly and without
a sign of backwardness to defend Ills
ill-gained title In the fray.
Another instance Is shown In the
tiring of guns on a battleship. Uo-
cently while a party of people stood
on board , a salute of twenty-one guns
was fired. Tlio women nt first
laughed with delight while tlio men
held their ears and were exceeding
ly nervous. At the latter end of the
firing the ladles -were In tears from
exhaustion nnd the men were receiv
ing the shocks without any especial
notice.
Mrs. O'Brien returned by the first
train fjrom Humphrey to Norfolk nnd
left on the noon train today for Min-
nenpolls , the hnpiest woman in the
world.
NELIBHMILLDAM GOOD AS NEW

STEER SHY OF AMBITIOUS MAN
In n Moment of Advice , She Gives
Them a Little Heart-to-Henrt Talk
About the Strenuous Ways of Liv

There were so many things going
on that the nttondnnco wns nolnbly
small at the session of the Leap Year
club Friday. Quito a few of them
j5
hnd been to see ( lllmoro on Thursday
night.
Said Knowing Nolllo , "It strikes
mo that Iho play which Mr. Ollmoro
wasn't ho handsome- follow ? put
on In Norfolk did you notice the
Hwell coat that ho were and his hair ?
ought to glvo every girl In Amor-
Icn a lesson about choosing a bus
band. Of course Ills part idealized
him and nmdo you like him In the
end. It wns a negative method that
was worked on you , you know. But
for nil thnt , I couldn't blnmo his wlfo
n bit for allowing her attention to
drift to some other man. Most women -
men don't go that far. But this neg
lectful man , who thinks ho Is doing
everything for his wlfo and family
but who In reality robs them of thnt
attention and personal endearing love
which they so much denlro that t
kind of a man , I think , Is a criminal 1
of the worst typo.
"Tho man who refuses to go out
with his wlfo when she wants him
to go ; the man who refuses to stay
at. homo during his evenings in order
that his family may enjoy his exist
ence ; tlio fellow who , oven though
ho is absorbed in his work nnd his
ambition , takes away the greatest
happiness that n woman can long for
and kills her pleasure.
"Tho ambitious man Is a danger
ous thing. Steer clear of ono of thai
sort. Americans are too ambitious ,
anyway , to take time out for the real
enjoyment of living. But whoever
is ambitious and especially the man
who realizes that ho is ambitious ,
should scientifically tnko care to curb
his energy. Tlio man who has the
energy of a steam engine nnd who
uses it for nil It Is worth during n
legitimate tlmo of each day nnd then
takes tbo rest of the day to rest and
exerciao nnd bo glad bo is nllvo nnd
at the same time niako others glad ,
Is tbo the finest kind of a man in the
world. But tbo ambitious ono who
buries his homo in order to achieve
greatness in his business career is
the Helflsltost man I know.
"Down In the older eastern states
tbe/o are families that have lived in
a small circle for hundreds of years ,
They take things slowly , oaslly and
oil in ly. They work while the day
is on but their stores and the factor
ies are shut up tight at night. They
study methods that will glvo them
long lives and pleasant ones. Labor
and work and worry commercially ,
after nil , is merely an incidental fea
ture by which men ought to provide
moans of sustenance. No matter
how important a man may think hia
lproject is , if ho refuses to give up
some of his time and life to you ,
girls , steer clear , I say , nnd don't ask
him to marry. Give him an icy mitt ,
n stony glare and a chance to walk
along the pathway of a bachelor. "
And Cunning Carrie nnd Sarcastic
Sarah and Amiable Annie and all the
rest nodded their heads in solemn ap
proral. Then they wont home.
