HIS PIPE BURNS VERY LOW
Fraak Staler Telle Police lie Waa
Rebbeel Tkrowa lata
- Blver,
Fran Staler f Lincoln told the police
last night A story of a robbery and at
tempted murder, with very little evidence
to substantiate 1L Btaley's story waa to
the effect that ho bad been thrown from the
east end of the Douglas street bridge, at
( o'clock, into the Missouri river, by three
men, who first robbed him of $50. As soon
as he struck the water, Staley said, be
began to swim for shore, arriving there
safely, though somewhat winded, not, how
ever, until those who attempted to murder
blm had escaped. Staley said he came im
mediately from the river to the police sta
tion. A peculiar dryness of his clothing was
not good evidence that Frank had been in
the river. A tainted breath like onto that
which Issues from the lungs of a drinking
man made thoee who listened to Frank's
tale of woe do so at a distance, and a
peculiar hitch in his walk, a blending of his
pedal extremities, gave the officers the Im
pression that Frank was drunk. He offered
as material evidence that he bad been
robbed of $50, four empty pockets In a pair
of torn trousers and dilapidated bill book,
which contained no bills. '
After an hour's questioning, during which
Frank took several catnaps; tho police
learned that Frank was trying to tell them
that he was enroute from Lincoln to South
Dakota and stopped off In Omaha to spend
the day. At the Union station be met three
strangers, with whom he started to Council
Bluffs, paying their toll across the bridge.
The rest, he said, was a blank, except he
was certal that he had taken no drinks
during the day and was also certain that
he had been thrown into the river.

TWELFTH STREET REPORTED IMPASSABLE
Efforts Mar Be Made to Open O Street

as Solatlon of tho 1
I Problem.
On sccount of the trouble the city offi
cials are having in aecurlng a suitable
road to the river snd the cost of placing
Twelfth street In a passable condition an
effort Is to be made to open O street.
With this Idea In view a committee,
composed of Councllmea Welsh, Adklns
and Queenan, ' will call upon Herman
Kountxe and endeavor to make some ar
rangements with him for a roadway
through his ground to the river bank.
When the pontoon bridge was contem
plated a road waa built and at tha .,..
of Mr. Kountxe several hundred dollars were
spent in building a fence through his prop
erty to the river. When wet weather set
In It was found that the Twelfth street
road could not be kept In a passable con
dition and after investigating the matter
several times it was Redded that the best
thing that could be done would bs to try
the O. street route.
Councilman Welsh, the chairman ..
special committee, stated last eventng that
very useiy tne committee would call upon
Mr. Kountze Thursday. A number of prom
inent citizens will be Invited to accompany
the committee. In order to assist the city
In openlrg O street R. 8. Berlin of Omaha
has offered to deed a strip of land east of
the Burlington tracks to the city for the
consideration of $1. Now if the city officials
can induce Mr. Kountze to sell a strip
through bis land for a reasonable sum there
will be little difficulty In making a suitable
road to the river and thus put s stop to the
difficulty the city la now having over the
disposal of garbage.

for the maintenance of the two boards. A

night for an increase In the park levy and
aiso ior iifuo more for the library board,
but the mayor and eaunxli .v.. .

LENA ROHWER'S MAD ACT
Details ef Cretan Girl's Atteaakt to
Kill neraelf at Denver
' Depot. ,J
From Denver have come ths details of
the attempt mads by Lens Rohwer, s
Oretna girl, to destroy herself under the
wheels of so Incoming train at the Union
station of the Colorado capital Monday
morning. They tend to confirm ths earlier
report that she was insans as a result of
long brooding over tho similar affliction of
s brother, -wh had bees confined in the
state asylum at Lincoln. W. 8. Raker was
taking: her to her relatives at Colorado
8prlngs In the hope that the change would
benefit her. Of the terrible affair at the
depot an eyewitness said:
The two cams In on ths Burlington train.
reaching the Union depot at ? o'clock. The
train bad Just come to a full stop when ths
Union Pacific train from Kansas City swept
around ths curve and cams In on the ad
joining track. Ths girl, with Raker, climbed
to the platform. Without a word the girl
sprang from Raker's side, raced serosa the
few feet ot platform snd. deliberately threw
herself before the approaching Kansas City
trsln. ,
"She had not reckoned on the speed of
ths train. 80 fast waa it moving Into the
station that the. pilot struck her. She was
throws aside, spun around like a top, and
then slid under the driving wheels. It all
took place within a second. Fireman Peter
sen was leaning out of the cab window ot
nglne No. 1437, pulling the Kansas City
train. He saw the attempt at suicide and
called to Engineer McCarty. The engineer
stopped his train In less than a car length.
The girl was. thrown upon the platform.
with blood spurting like two fountains from
her severed limbs. More than one hundred
people were practically eyewitnesses. One
woman who got off the Burlington train
fainted. A doten women screamed. Earl
Barnhart, one of the messengers In the
depot, was a doxen feet away. He called as
he saw the girl spring in front of the en
gine. A passenger from the Burlington saw
her act and heard the boy's call. He caught
the girl as shS tried to crawl back under the
train. Several trainmen ran up and a po
liceman summoned the police ambulance.
The girl was carried into the Immigrant
waiting . room, where her wounds wers
dressed by a police surgeon, after which she
was removed to St. Joseph's hospital.
"Raker said that the girl had been de
mented for some time and declared that ahe
would rather die than leave her hbme. Dur
Ing the journey ' she complained, and felt
erated her declaration that ahe would rather
be dead than make the trip. ' She told Raker
several times that she would kill herself.
He thought little of the threat and attrib
uted it to her condition. At the depot he
was gathering up their baggage when the
girl broke sway and' ran for the approaching
train."
Later the physicians at the hospital am
putated her legs Just below tha knees and
drested her scalp wound, but with only the
faintest of hopes that shs would survive.

Lyman II. Smith died st 8:30 o'clock yea-
tehray morning in horrible agony on a cot
In the rear of 1712 Pacific street, the result
ot a dose of strychnine, taken evidently with
suicidal Intent, The remains were re
moved to the morgue, where Coroner
Brslley will hold an inquest Wednesday
morning.
Smith was found soon after 6 o'clock In
front of a shed In the rear ot 1719 Pacific
street by Stephen Nolan. He was propped
against a wagon wheel, his head resting
between the spokes, suffering Intense
sgbny, though still conscious. Nolan went
to the man to assist him and was informed
by Smith that he was psralyzed and could
not move. A moment later he said bs had
taken quinine and it had made htm sick.
Nolan summoned help and ths man was
placed upon a cot and taken to ths rear
of 1712 Pacific street, where he bed roomed,
and Police Surgeons Hahn and Mick sum
moned. Nolan and his companions then
made a search in the vicinity snd discov
ered a bottle which had contained ten
grains of strychnine.
To the surgeons Smith said ho had
taken the contents ot the vial, but refused
to give his reasons. Hs was soon taken
with convulsions, which continued at in
tervals until he died.
Had Been Drlnklna- Heavily.
Smith hsd been drinking considerably for
several days and bad been despondent over
money matters. He was intoxicated Moa
day night snd his friends believe that In
s fit of remorse be took ths
poison. He was 30 years of age and single,
coming to Omaha from the central part of
New York state about a year ago. For the
last two weeks he had been employed as a
teamster by B. R. Klncaid. The dead man
was a brother to Mrs. Charles SUtt, 1024
South Twenty-second street, and bad In
formed his brother-in-law Monday that he
was coming to their house that night. Hs
did not go. Mr. Stltt said he knew of no
trouble that Smith had and knew of no
reason why be should take his own life.
