She was employed for two days this week as maid-ot-all-work in the home of Dr, Ira Van Camp, 623 North Twentleth street. Her work being unsatis- factory she was discharged at the close of the second day, and her present where- abouts is unknown.

She never gives the same name at any two places. At the Van Camp home she Introduced herself as Mary Brown. The police know her as “Rubber-Neck Nell.” She s tall, very slender, with light yellow hair and light blue eyes.

ALREADY WENDOVER ESCAPES PENALTY Gullty of Burg- s Ghastdy Pallor mptive In Last Stages of Discane, “The men In charge of the county jail be- lievo there is a carefully devised plan among some of the prisoners to escape long sentences in the penmitentiary by the old prison ruse of “soap eating.' The trick is one that has been practiced from time im- memorial by shrewd jallbirds on keepers and custodians holding places of the kind for the first time and consequently not versed in the ruses of cunning prisoners. It has happened not infrequently that at- torneys, judges and even physiclans are caught by the deception, and It 1s thought that the prisoners in the fall, having heard how easlly men wearing the striped suits in the Lincoln penitentlary contrived to escapo 10D sentences & few years ago by this means, agreed to try the same methods, securing release one at a time until the authorities learned they had been duped, By & few weeks of insiduous soap eating a man of strong constitugion can bring him- self into such & state physically that he will have the appearance of one in the last stages of consumption. It s easy to con- ceal & bar of €0ap b an out-of-the-way corner of the cell where it will be accessible for ‘an occasional nibble when none of the keepers are within sight, Gradually the complexion of the soap r becomes sallow and his flesh dwindles away. Then, it he affects a hollow cough, only an ex- perienced physiclan can detect symptoms that the man is not a consumptive.

When he spoke his volce was not louder than a whisper and people & few feet uway were unable to dis- tinguish his words, There was considerable talk about not prosecuting him, but send- ing him to a hospital Instead. \ Then the jallors recalled a similar in. stance when Wendover, a man charged with forgery a few mionths ago, had exactly the same appearance, and when he was sent to St Joseph's hospital for treatment he mado his escapo through a window. They decided that Sorenson also i& shaming, and that some of the desperate men In the jail have devised this plan of effecting their release.

HENDRICKSON KNOWS NO LAW Cass County | iood a Bee want ad Belleven th Should At Legal Ignoranc that for Hans Hendrickson 18 a Cass county farmer who has little respect for the de- clslons of a court. Some time ago he traded farms In that county, and at the end of three years found a mortgage on the land of which he had known nothing. In the district court of the county the wortgage was foreclosed, und this action was affirmed by the supreme court 9f the state. The purchaser of the land Bt the , sale lives In another state, and as Hen- drickson would not give possession upon the order of the state court he brought an action in ejectment in tho federal court. The case was decided in favor of the plaintiff and the successful litigant went out to take possession of his farm. Hen~ drickson and his wite held the place and refused to vacate. Yesterday Brainard Kellogg, who holds the title of the farm under the order of wale, applied to tho federal judge for a writ of assistance, and the United States marshal was empowered to go to Cass county, eject Hendrickson and turn the farm over to Kellogg.
