A noto scribbled In pencil attached to a
bundle of clothing found yesterday morning
near the river bank cltee to tho Union Pacific
bridge causes suspicion that a Mrs. Thomas,
who came to this city a few days ago from
Moorhead, la,, in search of her husband,
had taken her life and that ot ber 3-year-old
daughter by throwing herself into the Mis
souri.
Tho bundle of clothing was found by 3.
W. Holmes of 33 Fountccnth avenue, on
tho bank of tho river near tho Union Pacific
dump at tho cast end of the brldgo nnd
was Immediately turned over by him to
the police. Attached to the bundle was an
old black pocket book In which was the
noto written in pencil, a slip ot paper that
boro tho namo of Mrs. Sarah Coffer or
Coffey, Canton, Mo., and an envelope ad
dressed to Mrs. Kate Thomas and bearing
tho postmark of Pisgah, la., ond dated
June 7, 1900. Tho penciled note read as

Story She Told the l'ollce.
One day toward the latter part of last
week a woman who gave her namo as
Mrs. Thomas and said she had come here
from Missouri Valley called at the police
station, and made inquiries about her
husband, whom she said was a painter by
iraac. &no was accompanied by a little
girl about 3 years old. She told Officer
Whito that her husband had deserted her
and her child and that she believed he
was either in this city or South Omaha.
Slio said sho was destitute and that the
last of her money had been spent In buy
ing her ticket to this city.
The police made Inquiries and learned
that a man answering the description ot
tho woman's husband had applied for
work a few dayo before to John, Larson.
a painter on Bryant street. Larson was
not in need ot any more men and so told
tho man supposed to havo been Thomas.
Mrs. Thomas appeared to bo much de
pressed and discouraged and to add to her
troubles was In a delicate condition. She
asked the police for financial assistance
and was reforrcd by them to the super
visor ot the poor.
Chief Albro on reading the note ex
pressed his opinion that tho woman, driven
to desperation by the desertion of her hus
band and her destitute condition, had dc-
Ided to end all her troubles in this world
by drowning herself and daughter in the
Missouri.
COU.VCIL 18 GOING AFTER IIAItDEK.
Itefnsol of the Street Commissioner
to Ttrslen Slnrts Tierr now.
Tho city council last night postponed the
approving of the contract with E. A. Wick
ham for tho paving ot the group of streets
embraced in the third resolution until Fri
day night. The solicitor had tho contracts
and bonds ready, but tho aldermen desired
tlmo to look them over.
Tho contract for tho curbing of the
streets so ordered Improved was awarded to
Nelson and Olsen, but the bond was not ap
proved, owing to a technical defect.
Tho street commissioner muddle came up
for a round, Alderman Huber asking for In
structions what to do in the matter. He
said there was work on tho etreets that
ought to bo carried out. Alderman Brown
suggested that tho street commissioner be
Instructed to do what work was necessary
under the orders of the streets and alleys
committee. This brought Huber to his feet
with a protest. He said: "I will call that
down. I havo stopped giving orders to Har
den and have stopped all work. I will not
glvo blm any more orders, now, henceforth
or at any other time."
Alderman Boyw said that if Harden re
fused to resign as ho had been requested to
do there was but one course open to the
council and that would be to file freab
charges and then "flro" him, It Is plain
enough," he said, "that we cannot use him."
Alderman Lougee suggested that fresh
charges bo preferred against Harden at onco
and that no delay bo had In holding the
trial. Tho understanding Is that charges
will be filed beforo the meeting Friday
night. In the meantime, despite Huber's
protest, the strcot commissioner will act un
der the orders ot the streets and alleys com
mittee
L. H. Grler. local agent of tho Milwaukee
railway, asked for permission to drive some
piling under tho Burlington's bridge at Thir
teenth avenuo which his company proposes
using pending tho replacing of Its own
bridge over Indian creek with a new struc
turo In compliance with tho orders of the
council. Alderman Lougoe Insisted beforo
tho permission bo granted that the resolu
tion bo no drawn so as to make the railway
company Ilablo for ony damages that might
arise during a flood from' tho piling obstruct
ing the now of tho creek. He carried his
point and tho matter was laid over until
the next meeting.
Alderman McDonald succeeded in secur
ing tho passage of his resolution calling
upon tne waterworks company to lay a six-
inch main on Sixth street botween Twelfth
and Thirteenth avenue and the placing ot a
hydrant at the corner of Thirteenth avenue.
Somo discussion was had as to the means
of paying thu rental of the hydrant, but tho
resolution nnaiiy carried.
The Rock Island Railway company se
cured the passago of an ordinance vacating
tho portion of South Ninth street between
Twelfth ond Thirteenth avenuee. Colonel
C. O. Saunders, local attorney for the rail
way company, explained that tho company
owned tho abutting property on both sides
of the block sought to be .vacated. Alder
men Hammer and Huber opposed having
tho urdlnanco railroaded through at one ses
sion and objected to the city giving away
Its streets without some rtturn. T. L.
Smith, a property owner In that vicinity,
also protested against the vacation of the
street.
The resolution providing for the laying of
a sewer on Sixteenth avenue between Sixth
and Eighth streets and on Eighth atreet be
tween Fourteenth and Sixteenth avenues
was Introduced and September 10 set aa the
dato for its final hearing and determination.
The clerk was lnstructsd to advertlie for
bids for tho laying ot brick sidewalks, also
for bids for supplying the several city de
partmenU with coal, the latter to bo with
the city clerk by noon of September 3.
Tho contract with C. E. II. Campbell for
tao building of the new bridge over Indian
creek at Fifth avenue was approved and th
mayor authorised to sign same. The con
tract price of tho bridge Is $2,693, of which
amount the motor company tinys JS00, Un
dor terms of the contract the brldgo Is to
dc bunt by October 1 next.
Tho bill of $45.36 for two carloads of ston
ordered for the city rock pile was ordered
paid. Alderman Huber stated that the ston
would bo used to repair the approaches to
tho bridge over Indian creek on North First
street and this statement was taken to Indl
cate the dcathknell of the hoboes' rock pile

Muma of nn and a Wnlch.
Two highwaymen held up one of the largo
open motor cars southbound for Lake Man
awa last night shortly after 10 o'clock at tho
wabash railway crossing and robbed
Oeorgo Muma, tho conductor, of $50 and a
gold watch. The men were armed with ro
oivcns and wore masks. After securing
tho money from the conductor they Jumped
from tho car and made their eecaDo in the
darkneefl. The entire holdup only occupied
a tew teconds and consequently neither the
conductor nor motorman was ablo to glvo
a oosenpuon ot the highwaymen.
Tho holdup occurred at tho Wabash rail
way crossing at Nineteenth avenue, a dark
ana lonely spot. Car 79, one of the largo
open cars, was rnlnp nnih in r.ii,n m.,.,,..
the only occupants besides the conductor
onu motorman being Fred Empklo ot this
city ana a colored woman. As tho car
siowca up for the crossing, two men with
masks over their faces and each holding two
revolvers Jumped aboard. Ono covered the
motorman, Thomas McCaffrey, while the
other covered the conductor, George Muma,
ordering mm to nand over whatever cash he
had In his pocket, Muma handed out a
lot of small ullvcr, but this did not seem to
sausiy me Dandlt, Who outtlnir nnn rovnt

uuu io searcn too pockets of tho con
uuvior. no iook nis watch and all thn
money ho could find, but overlooked a $20
Buiu piece, ine Dandlt who kept the motor-
man covered made no attempt to relieve
him of his valuables, onlr ordering him to
keep his hands off tho lever and not to
move tho car until he got orders from them
io go aneaa.
As soon as the highwayman who wB
covering Conductor Muma concluded ho
imu gouon an thero was to bo got he
whistled to his conmanlon and Mm fwn
jumped rrom tho car, ran down tho Wabash
iracx ana were soon lost to slrht in th.
aarKncss.
The car proceeded on its war then to u,n
lake, from whence word was telephoned to
the police. Captain Denny and Officer
waar ai once Jumped Into a hunrv n.i
drove to the scene of tho holdun. whiin
tho entire night forco was detailed tn
search for the bandits.
From the vague description that thn mn.
ductor and motorman were ablo to give
of tho bandits it seems that they were
Dom or medium size and build and were
roughly dressed.

Sunday by Detective Weir on suspicion of
Deing wanted in Omaha for rolling a man
to the tuno of J45, were released from cus
tody yesterday morning, thero being no ovl
denco against them. A peculiar feature of
tho case was tho fact that Wado asked the
attornoy ho had retained to defend him to
glvo J5 to Detective Weir. The dotectlve's
brother offlcets are wondering what servlco
ns rendered tho alleged "con" men that
they uhould want to present him with $5.
Tho attorney who had received 120 from
Wado as a retainer declined, however, to
part with any of it for tho benefit of tho

Hull, Perkins an , others havo been regarded
as 'n the race, but each and every ono has
