Unfortunately after No, 6 had left Wat- ford it was discoyered that the freight had, after all, started for Wanstead.

Daly ot St. Louls, who has been Inte ested in the girl sinte she was an infant and who is sald to have assisted financially in having her well and thoroughly edu- cated at Mount St. Mary's convent, Cas- tellar and South Fifteenth streets. The shooting cocurred at 3:45 yesterday afternoon in room § at the Aicade hatel, Thirteenth and Douglas streets, which was the apartment of Daly's friends, Richard Schuman and wife, and to which Miss Sad- ler had been invited by both the gentle- men. Dr. Powell, who attended the boy, reports that one of the bullets of the 82- caliber revolver he used glanced off the sternum, or breast bome, to the loft and did no harm whatever, and that the other entered at the median line to the left of the sternum botween the seventh and elghth ribs, passed to the left through tho chest wall and lodged between the ninth and tenth ribs, from which he extracted it after the Iad had been taken to the Cen tral hospital at 2212 Seward street.

The girl is the daughter of Mrs. M. A. Sadler, proprietor of the employment ency and rooming house at 119% North fteenth street, but has not been living { With ber mother since December 23, at which time she became of age, and because of what she describes as an estrangement between them went to room at 1709 Cali- fornia street. Her youthful lover is the son of D. S Howard, proprietor of the Cumberland rooming house, directly oppo- site Mrs. Sadler's, on Fifteenth street. He in her employ until she became alarmed at the attachment forming be- tween him and her daughter. Later he was with the A. D.

Daly {8 a member of a St. Louls adver- tising firm and came to Omaha the day be- fore Christmas to be the guest of his father, C. C. Daly, who s manager of the Evans-Snyder-Buell company, and rooms at the establishment ot Mrs. Sadler, whom he knew seven years ago, when both fam- 1lies lived in Fort Worth, Tex. Story of the Girl, In an Interview given at the hospital by the girl late last night she stated that it Auring their Fort Worth residence that Daly took a fancy to her. She stated fur- ther that she aid not see him again until he called at her California street rooming place Christmas day, remaining but a few moments. Later he invited her to call at the room of the Schumans at the Arcade, and upon her dolng so, he proposed im- medlate marriage, she says, ‘vhich she de- clined, hecause too young, and for the fur- ther reason that she had a very strong liking for Dorre Howard. Friday she mét Daly on the stfeet, by accident, and he urged her to call again at the hotel, which she promised she would do at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. After this meeting she, encountered the boy, told him what had transpired and was péfsuaded by him not to go. At 1:30 yesterday afternoon, she re- lates, Daly and hi; to her California street room just as she was packing her trunk to go to the home of the Howards to live. They insisted, she says, upon her coming to the hotel, and finally, “to get rid of them,” she promised to call at 2:30 it they would go. They did ‘s0o, and she went, as she had prom!sea, though young Howard was protesting and accompanied her to the hotel, pleading to be allowed to go to the room with her. She found the room vacant and had started down the etairs, when she met Daly and Schuman coming up with a Christmas package in the latter's hands. Mrs. Schuman joined them at about the same time, but both the Schumans left shortly and Daly, she states, renewed his request for her hand. Loved and Lost, At this juncture Dorre knocked and was admitted by Daly, who led him out agalu into the reception room and there told him of his (Daly's) long interest in their common friend. The boy was angry and tempestuous, the girl says, and finally she persuaded them both to go into the greater privacy of the Schuman apartment, where she perched upon the left arm of the chair Dorre was cccupylng and sought to soothe him. At this tears came to bis eyes, which so mortified him that he apologized to Daly for seeming babyish {n his presence. It is the girl's story that Daly Answered that he rather admired him for it and walked to the north window with his back toward the two. A minute later Dorre is sald to have re- marked as that he going.” He grabbad his hat from the bed, the girl states, ans ~rose abruptly, turn- ing his back toward her end thrusting both hands inio his overcoat pockats, with his hat under his left arm. The next she observed was the flash of his pistol as he fired the first shov with the weapon pointed toward him. ' Ehe grabbed his #houlder, but he fired a second time, instantly, and fell over against her. She let him sink gently to the floor, screamed, and ran from the réom. Turn- ing, ehe saw him reaching for his plstol, which had fallen from his hand stil contained, as she afterward learnel three shells. Rushing back, she grabbed it up and laid It upon the dresser, Behind her me Mrs. the housekeeper, and ery s00n @ suficlent number of othei fill the room. The boy was helped after a time to walk to the elevator and out to & back, which bore him to the hospital, ed at his elde with his head , and Daly and a hotel employe on the seat opposite. At the hospital the girl was forced to relinguish ber hold and sent into another room, while Dr. Powell and Miss Compton, nurse dressed the boy's woun bim under the influence of an anaesthetic long enough to remove the bullet. N Girl Stays by Him, The girl is still at the hospital, in such s as she can. Schuman s 1IIM to have come out later and to have remarked that a boy who would do a trick like that ought to go to jall, which so in- censed Howard's father, who had arrived at about the same time, that a perso combat between the two wag averted with dificulty. Howard's father has a bellef that some sort of conspiracy exists against his son, but doesn't appear to know exactly why he thinks so. He states that Dorre has carried a pistol for some time be- deep a boyish affection for Wilhelmina | cheoses and that he will protect her, at the same instituting an fnvestigation into the shooting of yesterday to make Grtan that all is as it appears. Dr. Powell belleves the boy shot - him self. The hotel employes say that he him- self sald 8o at the time, and the girl states that although she first blamed Daly for the | episode, he was not even looking when the shots were fired and did not go near How- ard untll after others had reached the room. She states also that Dorre told her | he holds none respohisible but himeelt. What the Mother Tells, Mre. M. A. Sadler, mother of the girl, conducts the Hotel Monadnock, and a mes. senger and employment bureau at 119%- 121 North Fifteenth street.

She had been in a convent seven years in San Antonlo, Tex., where we lived before coming to Omaha, three yoars ago. “I thought I had solved the problem when 1 sent the girl back to the cenvent, but I found, to my utter dismay, that I had utterly failed. The boy, ecgred on by the unwholesome advice of ~ldur peo- ple, protested his love and relentlessly pur- sued his determination of meeting her. By some means or other he-found this possible, even after he was Ih the convent. The glrl, 1 learned, had been taught by some of this boy's treacherous friends, that she was a martyr because she had a mother who refused her the privilege of running the streets at random and ollowing her to keep company llke other girls. This polsonous advice found lodgement in the girl’s mind. 1 soon found all my pleadings in valn. Presently the girl was dismissed from the convent. The sisters did all they could, but like myself, were opposed by too great and bad jufluences. The girl left the convent, came home, but was lard to manage. This surreptitious court- ship continued, despite all my efforts to prevent it. Finally I consulted legal advice and issued written notices to every mem- ber of the Howard family to keep off my premises. Stenomrapher Awn Cupia, “I had a stenographer In my employ to whom I committed my sccrets, thinking I could trust her. I invited hér to make her home with me and help me break up this companionship. To my horror I learned that this girl, who was my daugh- ter's senior, had betrayed my confidence and wae in collusion with the other slde. 1 dismissed her and about then my daugh- ter became of age. Feeling the dignity which came with her 18th birthday, sho gathered up her belongings and left my home. This was the 280 of the month. She has not been back since. She made her home with this former stenographer of mine, where the Howard boy called until the landlord of the place set his foor down. Then my daughter was induced to move her things to the boy's father's place, which 1s just opposite my place. I de- layed the movement soméwhat, but my ef- torts were finally baffled and the girl was dragged into that place. I thought this was the limit. According to ‘Ogle's statement, he' acel- dentally hit Murphy in the mouth and the latter became angry and left the place Ir cotpany with Cotton. Shortly atter Riley Van, Gorden and Ogle slso leff the saloon and ‘6utélde mot the oihér two, who wern walting for them. According to Ogle, Cot ton and Murphy attacked him and he in self-defense knocked them down. The party then dispersed and Ogle went home. Yesterday evening about 6 o'clock Ogle and Riley were coming down Cass. street between Fifteenth and Sixtgenth strec and encountered Jackson, who was evidently under the inflience ‘of lquor.

I' e celved the idea of getting Mr. Daly to help me out of this dilemma. Mr. Daly had not seen my daughter for five years, when she was a little girl, but he had always ad- mired her and I belleve he still has great admiration for her. Daly Tries to Help Mother. “I laid the matter before Mr. Daly. He agreed to do what he could. His efforts to meot the girl at Howard's falled. Finally he zot a triend of his at the Arcade hotel to let him have the use of his room. He consent to meet him there. on her way to the Arcade yesterday afternoon when she met this 16- year-old lover of hers, and he walked to the Arcade with her. Wilhelmina kept her promise to meet Mr. Daly and the two were in the room talking, when a knock came at the door. Mr. Daly opened the door and admitted this boy, Howard. Daly treated the boy courteously and when the lad tried to start a controversy about Daly's being there with the girl, Daly very tactfully switched the conversation. Soon the boy tried to resume his attack on Mr. Daly, and to make a long story short Howard grabbed his plstol and ‘turning It toward him, fired. Before he fired the sécond shot the girl caught him, but not in time to stop the trigger. The boy fell to the floor, the girl gave way to loud crying and Mr. Daly ran for the clerk. The boy made a statement In which he said, repeatedly, that he shot himself. It was a very unfortu- nate thing for Mr. Daly, who was drawn {nto the matter entirely at my request, but of course no one would attempt to connect him, wrongfully, with the affair, Mother's Heart Involved. “I am of course deeply grieved at the outcome of this thing, but I haveWdone everything that an earnest mother could do to Aissuade my daughter from receiving the attentions of this boy. I have had not only the stubborn will of a very obstinate young girl to combat, but the unrighteous influence of meddlesome and treacherous outsiders. I never allowed my daughter, who 18 my only child, to roane the streets, and these people have impressed her with the idea that I was abusing her in this sort of treatment. My daughter Is a bes titul girl, oultured and refiped. I have tried to keep her close to childish ways and even have kept her in short dresses. I am satisfied of her character, and though I would gite everything I possess in this world to have averted this, I am blessed with the consolation that the girl is pure and fegl confident she will yet come around all right. 1 have not seen my daughter since the shooting.'
