SHRIGLEY OF SOUTH OMAHA KILLED 8ho Was a Pasmenger on Doard a Trailer Which Was Smashed by an Unman- agenble Motor—Details of the Matter, . AL Y:25 last ovening a northbound motor on the Hanscom phrk line crashed into the trailer on a southbound South Omaha train at the juuction of Sixteenth and Leavon- worth MRS, SAM O, SHRIGLEY was killed almost instantly. A boy named Gehrig also sustained slizht of South Omaha injuries. Mrs. Shrigley was a passenger on the South Omaha | She was seated on the third seat on the trailer, which was an open car, when motor No. 71 of the Twenty-fourth strect line, coming down the Leavenworth street grade, struck the South Omaha train Before the cars were jammed together the woman evidently realized her im- pending danger and saw that a col- lision was inevitable. She quickly aroso from her seat and Jumped to the strect, but wus struck by the Twenty-fourth stroet motor and cut almost in twain. The motor then crushed through the side of the trailer and tore out two seats and the foot board. Officor Burroughs, who was on the South Omaha train,and Oficers Kelly and Edgehill, wiho were on their way to their beats, ran to the assistance of the victim. Chey carried her inte Bruner's saloon. She was covered with blood and borribly mangled. Ina few moments she breathed her last. Ofcer Kdgehill arrested Motorman Al Ward and Conductor J. P. Engle of the Twenty the police station. Acting Coroner subsequently ordered theiv release. Chauncey Wilson was motorman and Ed Rainnie conductor on the South Omaha train. How it Hap, ‘T'he accident was due to tho wet tracks of the South Omaha and Twenty-fourth street lin The grade on Leavenworth stroot commences above Nineteenth street and slopes somewhat steeply to Sixtoenth. The rails were very wet and slippery last even- ing and the result was the motorman of tho I'wenty-fourth street train could not con- wol it. The Leavenworth street line has theright of way at this crossing. The South Omaha motorman claims that he did not see the approaching train uniil it was 100 late to avert the accident. Al Ward, the motorman on 71, cried like a child over the affair last night. He nys that he reversed the current, ap- :d the brakes and did everything in his ower to avert the collision. ifo shouted to the crew of the South Omaha train that he could not control his motor. The rails were wet and slibpery, and the wheels slid rapidly down the grado, in svite of his efforts to bring the motor to a stop. The Twenty- fourth street train was crowded with pas- sengers, none of whom were injured. Ward wason the police force three years ago and his old associates speak well of him. Stories of Eyewitnesses. Ofticer Kelly said that he witnessed flair. His story was, in substance, the me as Ward's, Kelly says that the woman who was killea arose hastily when she saw the coming motor, and was caught between the cars while seeking to reach the ground. She had a dress pattern in her hand when sho fell. She ovidently had completed her shopping and started lome. The conductor of the South Omaha train says that she took the car at Fourtecuth and Farnam streets, V. J. Burge manager of the Farnam Streot theater, was a passenger on tho Twenty-fourth street car. He says that tho accidont occurred at 7:25, as he looked at his timepicce Just prior to the acefaent. He e, Shrigloy was seated in the suys that M Burgess was on the wotor and Bennott ho wraile Jumped to save himself. W. H. Cook of 824 South Nineteenth street and Miss Laura Shenck of 2301 Picrce stroot were eyowitnesses of the nffair. Miss Shenck says that a bearded man with a slouch hat sat next to the unfortunate woman, ‘The man held a baby in his arms and narcowly escaped himself. 1dentified by Her Husban, Fulty 8,000 people visited the morgue, try- ing to identify the remains, but no one Icnow who she was until Sumuel T Shrigley, a barber from South Omaha, came in, As 500n as he saw the body ho exclaimed : *My God, that is my wife,” and fell into the'arms of a gentloman who was standing near Lim, It was the body of Mrs, Shrigl knowu resident of South Owmaha, She has been prominently connected with religious and charitable institutions in that city for soveral years, and was beloved by many cople She was a refined and intellizent woman, Wwho had the respect of all who knew her Mrs. Shrigley was 20 years of age and the sweetest and most womanly disposi- The body will be taken to South ha for burial soon as the body was identified the morguo was closed to everyone and the ba- reaved husband was left to mourn his Joss undisturbed by the curious throng.

Aveporter for Tu Ber endeavored to got an wnterview out of tho men at the s ion, but ueither would say a word excopt that they were brothers of Gillespio Lucas, The stock they brought in was locked up at the vards and no effort will be made to dispose of it untilthe sherift of Pierco county ar rives this ovening. Sheriff Georgo W. Littlo of Pierce county wired Chief Bockett that ho would come after the men, When taken to the station the men had about $100 in cash and $,000 in drafts Adams & Burke say they do nov kuow any- thing about the Lucas brothors any more thau they have shipped i small bunches of cattle to them from timo to time. Gillespio Lucas, tho one wanted, is only 17 years of age. came to soll hotel, They Were Not Guilty. Sheriff Little arrived from Pierce at 4 o'clock. He was met at the depot by ORicer winger and escorted to the station house. Ton Bre reporter Mr. Little stated that there was no suspicion whatever attached to Lee and Bob Lucas. It was their brother Gil he was after. I huve known Bob Lucas for ten years and know liim to be un honest, respectable citizen. 1 have never heard a word agaiust Leo either, and do not_believe that cither of them are connected with the cattle stealing. “The cattle those men brought in belonged to their brother Gillespie. [t is my opinion that they came here to cash his cattle and intended to turn the money over to him so he would have cash enough to get out of the country. In fact, I know this was the arrangement. “Ihave a warrant in my pockot for Jak Bloow, Daily MeDonald and Gillespie Lucas. 1 suceeeded in running down Bloom and M Donald and now have them safe in jail, pro- vided they have not been lynched in wmy { absence. “We caught Bloom before he got out of the county. 1 caughtsMeDonuld near Pilzer yesterday and ho told me the whole plot. “Gillespie was to como to Council Bluffs and lie in hiding at his brother's louse, while his two other brothers, Lee and Bob, came to South Omaha and_cashed his cattle. Then Gillespie and McDonald we to mect in Fremont on Sunday the 24th ay stavt for the sand hills together. I am ce in that Gillespio is in _hiding somewhere a or Council Bluffs toda, & to the Rothwell Gang. in that Gillespie Lucas, Bloov and McDouald belonged to the Rotnwell gung of cattle thieves. The. Rothwells and the Lucases are related in some wiy b marriage, and that, I think, is tho way G got in with the gang. He'is a youne fellow and was not seen much around Pierce. The gang hus been thoroughly organized for about t ¥o years and during that time they have succeeded in running off & ood many hundred head of cattle. The tneft in which the whole work was de- veloped occurred about two weeks ago ana the forty-threo lead stolen weres3 ought 1o South Omuha aud sold. ~Link Rothwell, one of the eang, was here with them. The matter was hushed up at the time and eizhteen head of the cat- tle were recovered at the South Omaha yurds only a few days after the sale wi made. Both Bloom and McDonald hav kened and peached, and_ we ave pretty sure to get every one connocted with the outfit. Bloom was onc of the fellows who would go out and round up the stolen stock and the other fellows would dispose of them.” Discovery of Anothier interesting featur developed yesterday aftern, mean soveral dollars i the p Blliott, a :well known stockman of Deuel county.

His auswer was a_chilly one, and Mr. Elliott got no satisfaction from either of the Lucases. One of them said “IT they are your cattle go and take them,' and that “was all he coula | They admitted that their brand ot~ vegistered, which fact looked very suspicious to a cattle man. Mr. Eilott s it would be an casy matter for a person run off fifty or even 100 cattle from vunch without their being missed, us he has s0many. He says he is almost certain that tho cattle ave from his herd, and he proposes to make an effort to get possession of them “The cattlo are at present held by the stock yards company.

Lear cannot be played except with the plenitude of the actor's physical powers, and the idea of repre- sentin xtreme old age is futilo, There will always be a controversy as to the precise point where Lear's mind is maaifestly unhinged. The old argu- ment is that he is sane enough till the conduet of his daughters drives him mad, and the earlier scenes have geoner- aily been played as though an aged man of perfectly sound facultics, but imper- ious temper, would wrobably divide his kingdom among his daughters, ono of whom is 1i to cavry her shure to a | for Moreover, though the | oqual Cordelia | is tempted with a third “‘more opulent than the others.” Kent, the king's staunchest friend and most faithful counsellor, is banished in a it of frensy. It seems to me tnat Loar's action throughout this episodo is inconsistent | with absolute sanity, that the decay of his intellect has begun before the oper ing of the play and that the actor has to represent the struggles of an en- feebled mind with violent self will, a mind eventually reduced to the pathetic helplessness of o ruin in which some of the original grandeur eun still bo traced. bo mpunity.
