8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1883, MRS. M'NAMARA'S STATEME T Bhe Denifes the Oharges Made Agalinst Her Character. HER FRIEND WAS NOT A DUDE. But He Now Lies in the Central Police Station Charged With V grancy—The Cause of the Trouble. That Dashing Widow. Under the caption of ““A Dashing Widow," there appeared in the BeE of Junuary 25, an article concerning the removal of a certain well known lady as executrix of her deceased husband’s estate by Judge McCulloch, and of her reckless expenditure of money. The article also stated that the widow had con- tracted large debts and that a number of suits were filed against her, 1t was further stated that she had beenon several junketing tours and had lavished money on a male a quaintance, Previously other daily paper had taken up the case and_ published th lady's name- Mrs, Nellie McNamara. porter called at the residence of McNamara on Douglas street just west R ay. His ring was answered by a tidy servant ¢irl, who in response to an inquiry” for her mistress re. plicd that Mrs. MeNamara was sick in bed “Will you kindly announce me us a B representative ! asked the reporter. The girl disappeared within the house, but. soon returned and invited the visitor to ‘step upstairs, She conducted him to a_hand somely furnished boudoir, and lying in bed was the lady sought. At the window sented anothe engaged in needlowork. “Mrs. M do you desire to say anything for publication concerning the charges made against you in the daily paperst” asked the repor “1 most certainly do.

The next thing I knew was that another administrator had been appointed This new executor has only power to settle up the indebtedness of the estate.’ “What do you estimate the estate of your late husband to be worth?” “Oh, &35,000 or 240,000, I suppose.” “What has been your income since his death “Just $100 per month, w the rental of two houses.” “kless extravagance I ch comes from “What about your “There is where I have been indiscreet, have spent a good deal of money and hi tracted several d i To what amount? “About &,000 1 suppose.” “Now about your junketing tours?" “Well I have made but three trips since my husband’s death.

The next trip I took was with my bo; ‘whom I placed in school at Morrison, Col. In July I went to Denver, which s but a few miles from Morrison and remained there about three months and when I returned I brought my boy home. Those are the only three times I have been out of the city of Omaha and each time I was_accompanied by one or more of my children,” “What about the statement lavished money on a western dude ! “Western dude indeed!” exclaimed Mrs. McNamara., “Better say cowboy and it would be much nearer the truth. I met a gentlemen in Chicago and afterwards Denver. Instead of my giving him money he n several occasions loaned me various sums and when I started for home he loaned me money to purchase my tickets which 1 re- turned since. He is now in Omaha.’? Mrs. McNamara further stated that it was simply her wish to place her- self right before he public and that her character above reproach. Allof her troubles were brought on by relatives of her husband. It may be stated incidentally that the reporter's call upon her was at her solicitation, as she wished to Lave some kind of a statement made. hat you “The Cowboy” Arrested. The man who darted from the lobby of the Millard hotel and through the barber shop into Douglas street, and_headed for the alley in the rear of Patsy Fallon's place, where he was overhauled by his pursuer, OMcer Cullen, about dusk last evening and marched to the central police station, gave his name as William Heagle, and his age twenty- seven years to the jailer in ch "This was an unnccessary formality, as his name was embossed on a warrant previously issued by Police Judge Berka. and ou the strength of which the was made by Cullen. The grancy, but in dress looked more che gen- tlemun of ease and wealth than a vagrant. His stylish and wellkept attire was topped off with glossy plug hat of the latest style, and he sported a handsome wold wateh and chain_and had $27.25 in currcncy in his pocket. Heagle's arrest was a complete sur- prise o him, but after he was confined in a cell and given a chance to collect himself, he concluded thiat he was being made a victim of malice and persecution, at the bottom of which, as he alleged to & BEE reporter, was P. R. Sullivan, the father of Mrs. Nellie MeNamara, thd wealthy young widow who has been the source of 80 ‘much newspaper notoriety of late, Heagle is the young man whom Mrs. Mc- Namara, in the interview with a Bee - porter, jokingly referred to as a cowboy, an offset to the 1see reference to him as “a western dude.” he has resided for a number of years in Denv Col., where he held an important and itive position with the Neff-Prent vember las ¢ s brokerage firm, but since No- has been in Omaha, during ‘which time he lias remained out of active em- ployment and associated with men about town. When Heagle first arrived in Omaha he put up at the Paxton, but of late has been taking his meals at restauran and rooming with a private family on Eightcenth street, Since his stay here he has been a great dcal in the company of Mrs. M mara, whose acquaintunce he formed on the curs while traveling from Chicago. That meeting ripened into a friendship that ex cited Mrs. McNumara's father's enmity, and he has publicly charged that Heagle was tho man who was encouraging her m_her ex. travagant expenditures and jeapordizing the estate left by h dead husband. These charges Mrs, McNamara emphatically and withcut reserve pronounces as false, main- taining that Heagle has sufficient resources of his own. He has a wealthy mother, and Argensinge the famous glove maker at Johnstown, N. Y., is his uncle. After ashort conversation with Heagle in his cell, a BEE reporter s roquest, went to the residence of Mrs, MeNamara to in form her of his arrest. who is confined to her b s nsented to another interview the’ newspaper messen imparted to her the fact that William was in a dungeon dark and dreary, “Yes, so I've heard,” coupled with the quer: poor feliow must feel awf was the reply, presume the bud, and does "To this last question the reportor afforded the cheering intcliigence that William was holding up bravely, and had not wept in his presence, 1y father,” continued Mrs. Mc “has been here and told me of M arrest.

A New House and Holder to be Built by the Omaha Gas Company. A B reporter called on F'rank Murphy, president of the Omaha Cas manufacturing company, to ascertain what he thought about the resolution of Councilman Lee, with re gard to obviating a cns famine, Mr. Le views, published in the Brr, wore to the of- fect that as the works, as now situated, have the gas-holder too near them, and that an accident to the one would be likely to cause the explosion of the other, and thus leave the city in darkuess. He favored, therefore, the erection of another holder distant from the works, Mr, Murphy smiled as he was told of Mr. Lee's solieitude, and said that the compuny needed no forcing on the part of the council 10 look after its own interests, not that they felt that there was anything unusual to be feared from the cuuses given by Mr. Lee. Even if the holaer were isolated an accident might oceur toat, but it could not explode. Its contents would burn and that would be all, - With regard to the lack of gas which would ensue upon such an accident the company had anticipated Mr. Lee, “mainly be “in our business,” said Mr. Murphy, i “in a growing town like Omaha we must look 1 from two to five years, Our present receiver is not large enough or rather will not be large enou; for® our business two years from now.

The ground which the old works are built while valuable is not large cnough, and might be adaantage- ously used for other purposcs. Yes, we will leave one of our receivers down there, It could be supplied with gas just as well from a distant house as from the present works.” THEY WENT TO THE JUDGE. Nora Flannery Hastily Married in the County Court. Catholic circles are ina flurry of excite- ment over the conduct of onc of their most our on prominent young ladies in marrying the choice of her heart outside of the church. The young lady is Miss Nor v, aged twenty years, who went before Judge Shields and was fory bonds of matrimony with Walter Q. Webb, a promising young physician who_lives in Washington territory. The pair had been for the past few to the wishes of the parents o are old and wealthy resi- dents of Omaha. Nora, who is the only daughter, was the flower of the houschold, and two or three days ago Webb arrived in the city and proposcd‘immediate consumma- tion of the bonds. o this an objectipn was setup by Mr. and_Mrs. Flanncry, and to their protestations Nora turned a_deaf ear. She waited on Father McCarthy of St. Philomena’s Cathedral and asked him to marry her. He positively refused, notifying the young lady that the rules of the church demanded a_fwo weeks proclamation from the altar. Bishop O'Connor was next ap- pealed to, but he too, as firm in his oppo- sitjon as the pricst, and lust_resort the pair called on_Judgze Shiclds, who uttered the magic words that made them as one, Lew Reed and G, F. Morearty being the witnes- ses. Tmmediately after” the coremony Mr. and Mrs. Webb took the train for Washing- ton territory where they will reside in the future. e JUVENILE THIEVES. They Make a Nocturnal Raid on Dago Alley, Four dirty, villainous looking little hood- lums, ranging from twelve to fourteen years of age, were arrested yesterday charged with burglarizing the candy and variety store of Jacob Newman in Dago alley. The kids were very venturesome in their operations, literally smashing in the window glass in Newman's front door, and at an hour when the legendary alley was alive with its habit- They then reached in and from a con- venient shelf extracted a tray of painted taffy und a half caddic of acorn tob: The theft was discovered about 12 and the police acquainted with the affair. Captain Green took the case in hand at once, and on being informed that these boys had been lurking about ®ewman's place all even- ing, hie proceeded to arrest them at onc Their names were Joe McDonald, and Jim, Joe and ‘ollins, and the whole qua tette were found at the residence of John Collins, the® father of Jim and Joe, hving near the corner of Fifteenth and Marc reets, Here also the keen nose of the ofti- cer scented out the half caddie of tobacco, id while en route to the station with his juvenile prisoncrs they told him that the had scereted the tray the bo: Fourte s taffy under too, d and brought into the station. The ¥8 were sent up to the district court as candidates for the reform school. THAT OVERLAP, Mayor Broatch Says That it is Over Nine Thousand Dollars. Mayor Broateh was seen yesterday by a Bue reporter and asked for the showing which he had promised as regards the over- lap in the fire department fund. His answer was that the actual overlap on outstanding indebtedness of the fire department which vill have to be made out of the levy of 188 is £0.041.30, to which there may be some slight additions, The New Danish Hall.

A New Plan for the Equalization of Taxes. The Bee, a fow dags ago, publishied an in- terview with Chairman Balcombe, of the board of public works, in which was a sug- gestion that the total valuation of Omaha ut £16,000,000 was too low, especially when Min- neapolis in 1584, then a town about the size of Omaha at the vresent time, had a valuation of 4,000,000, .. remedy this, and at the same time to obviate the paying of a vropor- tionate increase in the tax into the state treasury, he favored legislation to give a sep- arate assessor to the whose assessment should be near the true value of the prop- erty, and upon which taxes could be levied for the purposes of improvement. This would give the city ample moncy, and, in his opinion, do away with the necvssity of over- laps or the desire to expend more than the circumstances of the city allowed. Yesterday afternoon a reporter for this paper met Comniissioner O'Keefe and asked what his opinion was concerning the separate assessment plan. He said it did not striki him favorably. 1t avould flever do to have two assessments in the county one of which would be greater than the other, because when the commis- sion went before the state board of equal- ization they would be told that the smalle assessment was not right and that the county was attempting to evade the responsibility of tax upon its valuation “What I would favor, tho aid Mr. O'Keeffe, “is one assessor for overy county. who would assess the property at its full val- uation. Then I would have the law amended 80 a8 to increase the state board of equaliza- tion, giving one member for every district judge in the state and allowing the judges of the different districts to appoint the members of the same. The appointees would then be men who knew of the value of the prop- erty in their vicinity. In that way the assessment would be more even through the state. Now, for instance in Auditos heoc v were assessed at & county they were valued at was @ great difference. Now, the state board of equalization could not equalize this assessment to an average of #0 throughout the state. It was compelled to leave this dis- parity go and base its levy upon the total return of the assessed valuation, If the sys- tem I speak of were introduced, competent men were selected from every judicial dis- , such glaring inaccuracies and discrep- ancies would not take place.” OMATA, Jan. 21, 1 —A meeting of the ministers of the city was held in the study of the First Presbyterian church this afternoon for prayer and confers ence. There were twenty-one minis- ters present, representing all the differ- ent denominations, A spirit of perfect unity was manifest.

PERFECTION OF LIGHT, No More G Ixplosions—Individual Gas is Free From Such Horrros, ——— It 1s a Brilliant, Steady, Honest and onomical Light, —— There is no argnment advanced favoring any new Invention or discovery which so quickly reaches the heart of the public, nor which makes such a lasting impresse fony when demonstrated, as that of econ- omy. In consequence, it is the pleasure and aim of the Nebraska Individual Gas Co., to give a f¢fy poidayin vindication of their assertion, that wey can furnish the best and most economic light with which the public has as yet hecome acquainted. Perhaps no better argument could be used but we do not stop here. Aside from economy Independent Gas possesses other advantages which go far toward making it the popular illuminant, In the first place its name hears a point. to be considered. Individual or individus ality - eich consnmer in having a separate and entirely distinet plant, consisting of reservoir and meter, thus avoids the ne- cessity of any connection whatever with street mains or pivesy as well as a saving of exp 0 Coal gas, as those using it well know, Is. more or less seriously affected by cold ring an unreliablo and unsatisfactory illuminant during the winter months, when it is most needed, say nothing about the annoyance. Here we have a point which please note. As a test of the ability of Individual Gas to withstand the cold, we had the reservoirs of both our office and warehouse placed on the roof in hold rellef, where for the past 80 days they have been subjected to the se- verest of tests, our light showing no signs of variation or weak . Itis a common thing to see a once clear and neat ceiling blackened immediately over the gas fixture, or perhaps caused by a smoking hanging lamp. It is a little thing to be sure, but how annoying to a careful housekeeper. Individual Gas gives a pure, cle; softy and as white a light as could be desired, and is perfectly odorless. The feeling against the regulation me« ter has led us to desire a simple, yet accus rate indicator, which any child can thore oughly understand, thus reducing that ch root. We read daily of deaths caused by suffocation from escaping gas, or the careless use of kerosene, and it comes home to us. Why not avoid such horrors! No matter what amount of care s exercised, accidents will occury and it is to lessen or remove all chances of anything of the kind that we subject to your inspeetion, our gas, The positive shut off on all gas burners Is necessary to extinguish the light prope erly, but let the light be extinguished by other means, blowing or going out on ace count of a temporary insufficient supply, and what is the consequence—suffocation, or perchance explosion—and the question naturally arises, how is it with Individual Gas. Here we have our main argument: We look after the reservoir and keep it always supplied, thus relieving the cons sumer of anyannoyance or care. From there the gas flows to each and every burner, a match is applied, the heat generates the gas which rises and ignites, therefore the minute that heat is taken away, either by accident or otlicrwise, the gas ceases to generate, henee tho: the burner he turned on full head, no gas escapes. o more practical illustration can be :n than to eall at our office, where we will be pleased to demonstrate and explain the workings of our light and show the comments of those who are now using ite timonials, T ived Dy the npany, of ‘Denver, Col', (the nd individual gus being one the sume illuminator), speuk for theme Light onomic light and W.
