Sixty-two-year-old Confessed ployer of "Peggx" Sellers Sues Her for $816.44 and Is Sued By Her for $2,500. . Judge Holmes in municipal court yesterday announced that he will hand down a decision at 2 o clock this afternoon in the case of George C. Chrisman against "Peggy" Sellers for $816.44, and the latter's counter claim for $2,500. Testimony in the case was con- eluded yesterday and the judge decided that he would not hear any arguments by the attorneys. Peggy, recalled to the witness stand, declared that she does not have to sell oil stocks or oil land leases for a living; that she can t lav a pipe organ and has had sev eral offers for her services as or ganist. "I have not been in Omaha for my health," she said. Explaining certain transactions which have not been, clear Jo the court and others, Peggy involved F. L. Harris of Billings, Mont., in an alleged attempt to deceive Mr. Chrisman. She referred to Harris as having been publisher of an oil trade journal at Billings and also in the oil stpek and promotion busi ness. She said he had been her former employer and Chrisman re ferred to Harris as a man whom hi believed to have been his friend. "I found out that Mr. Harris in stigated the whole thing and I re turned to Omaha to tell Mr. Chris man," testified Peggy, who added that Harris inspired several tele grams sent from Casper, Wyo., in November to Chrisman, and pur porting to have been sent by "P. Gilchrist." Peggy claimed that when she re- turned to Omaha, to protect Chris man from imposition by his sup posed friends at Billings, Chrisman told her that he owned 500,000 shares of stock in the Success Refining company of Billings, and that she General Harries to Tour Slav States and France on Way Home J. 'E. Davidson, general manager of the Nebraska Power company, has received a letter from Gen. George H. Harries, who is now sta tioned at Berlin, former resident city of William Hohenzollern. "I understand that news from Berlin is now more plentiful in the United States," wrote the general in a facetious vein. The letter was dated April 9. "We Jiave now repatriated all prisoners except 400,000 Russians. There were 1,200,000 Russian pris oners here four months ago," he wrote. The general said that he expected to travel in Russia, thence to Serbia and Roumania, and then visit France on his way home.

Decision In ' Lover and Former Em and Chrisman entered into business arrangement "According to the oil code, Mr. Chrisman, should have given me $1,000 for having taken him down to Kentucky and showing him the oil lands, on which he will make thousands." ' Peggy cortinued. "I think it is very unappreaciative of him." When the case was called yes terday Mr. ; Chrisman remarked, "This affair can be over as sodn as possible as' far as I am concerned, and I think that Peggy is satisfied, too." Wanted to "Freeze" Harris Out. Peggy said she went into business witli Chrisman for the avowed pur pose , of "freezing" Harris out. Chrisman started the action in municipal court by obtaining ser vice of a writ of attachment on Peggy's personal effects, including most of her clothes, which are now in storage with a constable holding the key. Chrisman's claim is based on al leged unpaid amounts of money ad vanced by him to Peggy during a period of- several months. Peggy came back with allegations that Chrisman spent this money on his own account and even made love 'to her. She filed a counter-claim for $2,500 for alleged services as office manager, promoter and posing as a "Kentucky heiress," learning the southern dialect, and an assortment of other work. She alleged that Chrisman re ferred to her and introduced her as his protege, the mascot of the company. "The Little Lady from Kentucky," and other sobriquets. Mr. Chrisman entered vigorous denials of the various claims .made by Peggy and refuted much o'f her 1 testimony. Overland Employes Quit in Defiance of Orders- May Strike Toledo, O., May 5.

S. Mann, "to see that the Audu bon society has made special ar rangements including Forest Lawn cemetery in the bird field day pro gram Saturday morning. In my opinion there is no bird sanctuary in this region to compare with For est Lawn. It is a'large tract having many native trees and shrubs and it is free from molestation by the enemies of birddom. The -result is that a number of rare species of birds have made homes in the cem etery, making it doubly attractiv to Audubons.
