sought police aid. The young ac
tress was arrested at a railroad sta
tion.. Mrs. Stevens-McDermitt grew in
dignant when arrested, threatening
a suit 'for divorce with payment of
$10,000 alimony, or an action for
false arrest.
Inquiry at the Omaha theaters
failed to reveal any information as
to the identity of Mildred Stevetfs.

Gray-Haired Wife Attacks
Affinity, in Cafe-Local Gity
Officials Save Other Woman
Git Severely Beaten and Hair Torn Out in Lincoln Hotel
Scene Commissioner Ure, City Attorney Weaver
; and Attorney J. P. Breen Separate Women, But
. Deny They Know Principals. , r
Love for a woman to whom he is not married, Intense
desire to remain by her side, and the tempestuous disposition
of his wife are some of the influences behind a sensational
scene in the Victoria hotel at Lincoln Saturday, when Gity
Attorney Frank L. Weaver, City Commissioner Ure and other
prominent residents of this city played principal parts.
Two women and a, man, an Omahan, his affinity and
wife, were ejected from the hotel dininjr room following the
disgraceful scene, which was started when the women en
gaged in a hair pulling match.
John P, Breen, a well-known Omaha attorney, also
engaged actively in the affair.
Every effort was made to keep the affair quiet and
news of it only leaked out Thursday. -
After being ejected from the hotel the man and his wife
departed together in the automobile, which a short while
before conveyed the husband and the other woman to the
hotel.
The other woman in the case, said
to be a stenographer,- made her
exit through the excited erowd into
the hotel office, where she secluded
herself in a telephone booth,
smoothed out her disarranged hair
and ruffled clothing and disappeared
through a side entrance.
Though Mr. Weaver, Mr. Ure and
Mr. Breen deny they new the
man or woman, all three of the
men admit they were in the hotel
dining room when the women en
gaged in a fight there. They also
admit they helped restore peace
among the belligerents.
The Storm Approaches.
Oblivious to the approaching
storm, the man was seated at a table
jn the hotel dining room with his
affinity. It was the noon hour and
the cafe. was crowded. Just a few
feet from the couple an Qmaha of
ficial and Attorney Breen occupied
another table. The couple were
engaged in earnest conversation.
They did not see the front door
open and admit the stately matron
with a shock of gray! hair and
wearing a tailor made suit of blue.
There was no indication of the
threatening danger except the cold
gleam in the woman's eyes. Her
head lifted high, she walked rapidly
between the long lines of tables.
The woman with flashing eyes did
not hesitate until she stopped by
the side of her husband, who was
bending forward to catch something
his affinity was saying.
Enraged Wife Screams.
"This is my husband she fairly
screamed, '
Every eye In the room was riv
ited on the trio. The next in
stant the woman of the gray hai
called the girl with her husband a
vile name and smacked her face
three times. She then seized her
by the Tiair, the girl struggling des
perately to release herself. The
smaller woman was at the mercy of
the superior strength of the woman
with the gray hair, The larger wo
man hissed and her victim begged
for help.
The husband was transfixed.- He
seemed daxed, according to wit
nesses. He watched the struggling
women In wide-eyed wonder. Men
and women leaped from their chairs.
There were shouts of "Stop them."
"She will kill her."
Omaha Officials to Rescue.
At this juncture Attorney Breen
and one of the city officials became
involved. They seized the larger
woman by the arms and shoulders
and attempted to force her to re
lease her grasp. The struggle con
tinued for 10 minutes. The woman
with gray hair was exhausted. She
still was being held by the two men
while the smaller woman, who was
completely demoralized, attempted
to collect herself. , The infuriated
wife attempted to break from he:
captors and renew the attack, but
she was restrained.
The smaller woman hastened
through the door leading to the ho-
iei omce. jne man ana nis wue
faced each other while the curious
guests gathered closer. The woman
with the gray hair leaned against
the wall and addressed the men and
women who witnessed the affair.
"On For Five Yeart
'"This has been going on for five
years," she declared. "I could stand
it no longer. My husband is the
father of a grown daughter. That
was a vile woman he was with and
I am determined to break up the
affair."
One of the city officials said some
thing to the woman in an under
tone. She turned her eyea to her
husband, who stepped to her side
