10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JANUARY &, 1908, STORM DELAYS ALL TRAINS Passengers Pull Into Union Btation from One to 8ix Hours Late. YEAVY WIND SOLE CAUSE OF TIME LOSS Jome Engineers Find it Prudent to Stop Thelr Trains at Times While on High or Ex- posed Ground, The windstorm and cold Tuesday and yes- lerday played havoc with raliroad service In this section of the middle west. Not one passenger train reached Union station on Mme yesterday and they were late from one hour up to six. Freight service mean- while was much more badly delayed, as every possible leeway was given the pas- genger trains. Tuesday night the wind was a flerce north- paster and was actually strong enough at times to practically hold a train fa®ing it still in its tracks. Despite its direction, however, it was not only trains going north and east that were hung up. The wind was #0 powerful that its crossfire and enfilade on trains running south and west, away from it, made travel difficult in those direc- tions also. Several Instances are reported where en- gineers stopped their trains entirely during certain spasms of the storm, while they were on high or exposed ground. They were afraid to run them because there was dan- ger of being blown off the track while rounding curve: Wind Plays Many Pranks. With trainmen and enginemen the wind played many pranks, none serious as far as has been heard so far. However, no man dared travel along the tops of freight cars save on his hands and knees, and in passen- ger coach tralns of open platforms it was a dangerous feat all night long to pass from one car to another Down at Union station the baggage hands rolled out a dozen or so trucks in expect tion of the loads on incoming trains. In a trice the wind had seized the trucks and whirled them in all dirgctions, and one truckman said that if the yards hadn't been fenced they would be hunting for trucks yet. The trains that were most conspicuously late were Union Pacific No. 4, due here at 7:30 a. m., which did not arrive till after 12 o'clock; Rock Island No. 41, four hours late from the east; Northwestern cverland No. 1, two hours late from Chi- cago; Northwestern No. 71, three hours late from Minneapolis; Missouri Pacific No. 51, one hour and a half late. Northwestern train No, 76, which left here for Minneapolis Tuesday night and had to go in the teeth of the gale all the way, was four hours late up there. LEGACIES TO J. P.

Eades, who Is wanted in Chicago for hotel check work, was located in this city Tuesday afternoon and would have been detained at police headquarters awaiting the arrival of a Chicago detective had not be proven his cleverness by slipping from the custody of an Omaha detective, Feeney, who claimed to be a newspaper man, came to Omaha about five weeks ago and secured employment upon the local staft of the Daily News, being given the police “run” after several days of speclal assignment work. When a copy of The De- tective was delivered at police headquarte Tuesday afternoon upon the front page ap- peared a picture of Feeney under the cap- tion “Wanted.” The notice was sent to the police journal by F. Repetto, house detec- tive of the Auditorium hotel in+Chicago, who stated that Feeney was wanted there for having given clerks in that hotel two bogus checks. Information also showed that he “fell” in Cineinnati, O., in Febru- ary, 1900, for the same kind of work and had been “mugged” and given the Bertillon measurements while detained there. Chiet Donahue wired to Superintendent Francts O'Nell of the Chicago police depart- ment as soon as it was known, that Feeney was wanted. An answer was recefved in- structing the Omaha chief to arrest and hold the man Detective Drummy was assigned to the case and watched for Feeney's return to his rooms in the Madison, Twenty-first and Chicago streets, until after 12 o'clock Tues- day night. He succeeded in placing the r porter under arrest. While the officer was telephoning to the station for the patrol wagon the prisoner made a quick dash through the door, jumped {Fom the porch of the building and, easily vaulting the back tence, made his disappearance in the dark- ness. The officer made a vain search and returned to the station empty-handed. A close watch was kept at the depots, but no trace of Feeney was secured. Feeney is thought to have walked into the country, continuing his journey westward. CHANGE OF TIME. Milwaukee Raflway Increases Number of Tralns and Changes Time.

Bar- rows, John Lancaster and Miss Alice M. Mays. The other numbers are equally as good. There is every indication the famous play, “The Heart of Maryland,” which achleved 80 great a success here upon the occasion of its previous visit, will, in its engagement at the Boyd Tuesday and Wednesday after- noon and night, be given a generous re- ception. “The Heart of Maryland" is the most brilllant production its author, Mr. David Belasco, bas thus far presented.

WINCH HEIRS WANT MONEY Suit Against Mrs, Steen for Amount Collected on Sales and Rentals. In Judge Dickinson’s court yesterday at- torneys for Elvira Aldrich and the other descendants of Seth F. Winch are trying to | gatn still another point against Miranda J. Steen, who was Winch's last wife and whom the descendants defeated in court last week in their suit to have set aside a deed by which Winch had conveyed to her about $40,000 worth of real estate, the decision belng made on the showing that Winch was insane when he made the deed. That judgment was one for possession, but now the descendants are after a money judgment. They afirm that Mrs. Steen sold about $8,000 worth of the property, some in Harrison county, lowa; some in Providence, R. 1.; some in Minnesota and some In Omaha, and that she has collected rental about $3,000 per year. They propose that she be compelled to pay over the amount of the sa and the amount of the rental for four years past, minus the cost of any im- provements she may have made during that time.

"'BIG LIZZIE" HAS PUGILISTIC TALENTS She Lands Scientifically on Solar Plexis of County Hospital Super- intendent and Then Sheriff Takes Hand in Game. Every day has its little troubles for J. Henry Oest superintendent of the county hospital. Tuesday he had to wrestle with an Investigating board in the hospi- tal front parlor and yesterday he had to wrestle with a large, red-haired and high-handed insane patient at the Bur- lington station, with a crowd looking on. The patient was Lizzie Klimont, who is known among her friends as “Blg Lizzle,” for reasons very apparent to anyone who has ever noted her height and breadth. She has been at the county hospital for some time and it was the plan to take her to the asylum at Lincoln. Accordingly Oest brought her down In the hospital ambulance to deliver her at the station to Sherifft John Power, but the woman liked not the looks of the genial and gentlemanly sheriff, nor of Thomas Flynn, a deputy who was there to wave farewell. With rare discernment she detected certaln slight characteristics which led her to belleve that both were of Irish ancestry and she likes not the Irish. Unfortunately for Oest, she mistook him for an accomplice, and to repay him for tricking her she made a rush for him. What 1s more, she reached him. She reached him where no man with a full stomach likes t: be reached, and it {s cons{dered a miracl that his hands were the only things that went up. Then she gave him a puglilistic fondling which was thorough and system- atic and which ended only when J. Henry gained outside assistance from the depot employes and later from the sheriff, who was edging over her way fast as his rheumatism and his official dignity would permit. Very promptly straps were placed upon her wrists ani ankles and Director Jos Mik, who assisted in the operation and was a distant witness of the encounter, gives it as his opinion that anybody desiring the position of sheriff of Douglas county would have done well to apply about the time the train pulled out.
