She said the diamond stuck in her throat and did not go clear down for a long time." Officer Drummy testified to the same statement.

"I picked the diamond up and placed it to my lips to blow on It. Then the de tective rushed up and grabbed me and said: Olvs me that diamond.' I don't know what became of the diamond, whether "I swal lowed it or whether it fell on the floor. But it disappeared." She said she had done all ahe could to help recover the diamond and had taken everything the doctor has given her. She said she had offered to undergo an opera Uon.

Another knotty question arising under the Dodge primary law has been submitted to County. Attorney Slabaugh for solution. The question involves the method of ap pointing clerks and Judges of the primary election to be held July 8.

Schenck, are at Mount Clemens, Mich. Count Crelghton was advised yesterday evening of the fire. The loss will be many thousands of dollars, well covered by insurance, but the value of the count's collection of personal ef-, fects and books cannot be estimated In dol lars, aa many of the articles destroyed had a personal value which could not be. re placed with money. During the absence of the count and other members of the household the place was In charge of Mrs. Mary Cotter, who has been tfie count's housekeeper for twenty years. At the time of the fire ahe was down town having a dress tried on and waa not advised of the fire until an hour after the alarm was sent In. When she did arrive home and viewed the wreck ahe was completely overcome with emotion. She had to be attended by women companions who were on the scene. Two Servants In tho Hons. When the fire broke out the coachman downstairs in the laundry room, while servant was upstairs. Painters were working at the front of the house and were first advised of the fire by three boys passing the front of the place. The alarm was sent in from the Crelghton telephone and when the department arrived, about 2:30. the flames were fast destroying the val uable effects 'a which the count took much pride. According to statements of the painters the fire 'Was caused by a gasoline torch used In scorching old paint. In the count's den was a large collection of books and relics, all of which were destroyed. From the den the fire spread over the first floor, gutting the library, dining and living rooms. A few paintings on the north wall escaped damage. The upstairs was badly damaged by fire, smoke and water. The fire was confined to the Interior of the house. Among the more valuable articles de stroyed were two life-sized busts, one of Pope Leo XIII and another of Kdword Crelghton, the count's brother. In the den was an autograph photograph of Pope Plus, with the Latin inscription. "To My Very. Dear Son, John A. Crelghton. Pope Plus."

Of all ihlS' valuable -effects It was Jcnown the count 'took especial pride In his ) family paintings, which, fortunately, were prac tically saved, as neighbors and friends made a rush for the paintings as soon as the Are was discovered. A large painting of the count's wife was saved Intact; his mother's oil painting; was slightly dam aged, but can be repaired; a painting of Edward Crelghton, six feet square, was not damaged, while nearly all other paint ings of the Crelghton family were saved. Owing to the Improvements being made at the place when the fire broke out. five valuable paintings had been stored In the attic and were not damaged. Nearly every bit of furnishing on the first floor was ruined, while most of the furnishings upstair were either wholly destroyed or rendered useless. The In terior of the house was badly scorched. ' The Crelghton home is an old landmark of the city. It was known as the Lacy home In tho early days and was erected about forty-five years ago.

HEN THIEVES ARE DEFIANT Marauders Apparently Will Not Heed Dlro Threats of North Omaha Protective Association. It is evident from the police records that chicken thieves are taking no thought of the present temper of members of the North Omaha Protective association, as nearly all reports received of poultry losses come ftom residents living within the Jurisdiction of the protective associa tion. Thursday night thieves took a brood of thirty chicks from the premises of J. C. Thompson, sOW North Forty-fourth street. The chicks were a few days old. When chicken thieves stole a few old hens now and then from members of the North Omaha Protective association the matter was not serious enough to warrant call ing a special meeting, but now that cul prits are robbing the poultry cradles in dignation has become such as to cause rumors of a special meeting and dire things for the first man caught stealing from any member of the association. Mrs. C. J. Christiansen of Calhoun drove into town Thursday afternoon and re ported to the police the loss of eighty chicks stolen from her place. OMAHA TO MAKE AUTO WHEELS Loral Maanfartory Will Erect Baild tngr Whero This Work Will Bo Done, The Eby Manufacturing company, which will manufacture the Ie Jarnette .spring automobile wheel, is said to be negotiating for the erection of a building for the pro posed plant. If the deal should fall, a building will be leaked, and the company will begin to make the wheela for market before the summer is over. The wheel Is the invention of James F. De Jarnette of Omaha. It la said to give 60 per cent moro resilience than ob tained by an alr-filled pneumatic tire, this made possible by the suspension of the hub in the center of a system of oppos ing coll springs, which, while the whe-l revolves, keeps up a pulling or pushing motion, resulting la a state of equilibrium at the hub. To prevent collapse, false spokes are used which slide In plates fas tened to the rim and which touch the rim only when great pressure is brought to bear.
