THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, APRIL' 29, 1320. 11 NARROW ESCAPE FOR DRIVER WHO RUNS INTO TRAIN Driver Leaps for Life Ma chine Hurled Into Nearby Cars In Heart of City. Harold Richards, 18 years old, 2226 Burdette street, miraculously escaped serious injury yesterday when he backed a Ford automSbile truck belonging to the Ideal Bot tling Works, 1716 North Twenty fourth street, directly into the mid dle of the Condon & Bolen, contract ors, west bound construction train in Dodge street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth street. The train was moving at a high speed at the time of the accident. The truck was thrown against sev eral other automobiles parked on the south side of the street and tied up traffic in Dodge street for over a half an hour. Leaps to Safety. Richards owes his life probably to the. fact :it jumped to safety when he realized he was backing into the moving train. He was thrown to the pavement by the impact and suf fered a bruised left knee and a cut on the left hand. He was arrested by Traffic Police man R. Ey Ford and booked at the Central police station oi a charge of racklent driving, and later .re leased on a $10 cash bond. The automobiles of Thomas Koz iol, 4632 South Twenty-seventh street, and Jtjhn Reifschreiber, ISIS Dodge street, were damaged by the collision when the truck was thrown against theni. The rear fender of the Koziol car was broken off while the "entire side of the Reifschreiber machine was demolished. Richards said he did not see the train coming and, when the truck hit the train, he said he jumped. William Ryan, 2206 North Twen-ty-tifth street, brakeman in charge of the train, said the street was "clear" as the train approached Six teenth street, and that he did not see the truck until after it had collided with the train. Returned to Bluffs From Chicago to Face Charges F. N. Fanze, alias F. N. Ferris, ar rested in Chicago at the instance of Council Bluffs police, was returned to Council Bluffs yesterday by Sher iff William Groneweg on extradition papers signed by Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. Fanze is wanted in Council Bluffs in connection with alleged illegal real estate transactions in which Iowa land was traded for an Omaha apart ment house. Era Bond, formerly part owner of the Kiel hotel in Council Bluffs and now serving time in the Illinois pen itentiary for receiving stolen prop erty, is alleged to have been impli cated with Fanze in the real estate transactions.

Seven Solemn Lawyers Represent Mrs. Mudge At 'Special' Appearance of Her Absent Hubby Seven lawyers appeared in District Judge Sears' court yesterday and each .solemnly deposed and said that he had been retained by Mrs. Edith Mudge as her attorney. Mrs. Mudge's career in the Omaha courts started last August, when she appeared unexpectedly here to allege her husband, Clifford Mudge, was living in regal style in a sumptuous apartment at the St. Regis with another woman. Wednesday's proceeding was -to have been a hearing on the special appearance of Mr. Mudge in answer to his wife's suit for separate main tenance, which she instituted follow ing her visit to Omaha. "Special appearance" is purely a legal pleas antry, as Mr. Mudge has no inten tion of making an appearance, spe cial or otherwi, so his attorney, Alfred Munger, says. Each of the seven solemn attor neys told how Mrs. Mudge had come and engaged him to attend to her affairs. She was not easily sat isfied with any of them long, which may or may not have been her fault. At any rate, she first engaged F. A. Mulfinger. Then she went, to Frank Gaines and then to his partner, R. A. Van Orsdel, and then back to Mr. Gaines. Still failing to get satisfaction, she sought out Robert Switzler. When he seemed to fail to fll the bill she consulted Herbert Daniel and then Gerald Drew. Her latest attorney was John O. Yeiser. All these were duly notified to be in court to represent her in Mr. Mudge's special appearance. They all appeared. Mr. Mudge, of course did not. Judge Sears put off solu tion of the puzzle for a few days. Woman Loses Jewels Valued as Hehiooms Jewelry valued at $300 was stolen from the home of Mrs. T. H.
