The property of Mrs. Sweeney, which was left to Mrs. Peter O'Malley of Twenty-sixth and California streets, will escheat to lhev state. . Mrs. Sweeney and her husband, were found by the police two years ago In a shanty In- the south part of town,- starving and half crazed, but with 18.000 In the cel lar. They -were both ' put Into a, hospital and Mr. Sweeney: died. Mrs. Sweeney was under medical care at St. Joseph's and Edward F. Leary was appointed by the county court to act as her guardian. The O'Malleys offered te take her into their home and the guardian allowed them 144 a month for her care. After she had been there three months a bill for 1300 was re turned by Mra. O'Malley, which the court refused, and (160 was allowed Instead. More than $1,000 which was added to her property was turned over by her attorney, J. J. O'Connor, and Mrs. O'Malley was Im mediately given possession or this. May 6 Mrs. Sweeney died and a will was found which had been made after she entered the home of the O'Malleys, and it turned over the bulk of the 18,000 to Mrs. O'Malley. Judge Leslie held that Mrs. Sweeney's mind never was clear after the time she was first taken Into custody, as tha dis ease from which she was suffering had gradually Impaired her mental faculties and for that reason she was Incapable of making a legitimate will. As she had no legal heirs the property reverts to the stale. Is active in religion, he Is a hypocrite, and If he takes no Interest In religious matters, he Is a hardened sinner.

Others have written in similar vein, but none more skillfully than the following: , "Mr. Man: Man's Ufa Is. full of trouble and temptation. He cornea Into this world without his consent, and goes out of It against his will. His journey through life Is rocky and beset with strange and con tradictory experiences.

Pistol and Marches Him from Hey House to Sheriff. Mrs. Henry Melslnger, living on a farm two miles east of Springfield In Sarpy county, proved herself a brave woman by defending her home against a desperate negro who entered her house while her husband was absent and she was in the garden. She frustrated his attempt to rob the house by pointing a revolver at him and marcl.ing him a short distance to a neigh bor's house, where he was held until Sheriff 11. H. Spearman, of Sarpy county took him away and brought him to tha county Jail In Omaha.. He gave his name aa William Williams. It was early Sunday afternoon that the negro went to the Melsinger farm. Mrs. MeUlnger did not see him approach the house, but she heard him Inside and run ning to the kitchen door she saw him In the front room emptying two of her pock- etbooks. She went into the kitchen and grabbed up a revolver, hidden there, and surprised the negro In the act of stealing the money. When the gun was pointed at him Wil liams made no effort to escape from the woman, but submitted to her commands and she had no trouble In getting him to her neighbor's house. Williams had taken $56 from the pocket books when stopped by Mrs. Melsinger. He says he Is from Birmingham, Ala., and was on his way to Lincoln. He Is supposed to have been walking along the Rock Island track, which Is two miles from the Melsinger place. He has but one arm, the left one, he says, was amputated to prevent his death from blood poisoning.
