Body of Man is Found Under Bridge Mangled, the body of an unidentified man was discovered at 7 o'clock Saturday morning under the Union Pacific bridge by Henry Fries, watchman. The forehead was smashed, the face mutilated and both legs were broken. Evidently a tramp by his clothing, the' man had apparently been walking on the bridge and had been unable to get out of the way of a train. The fact that his legs were fractured leads to this bellef. The man wore overalls and these and his trousers were tled round his body by a cord. The body has beén taken charge of by the coroner. 2 SCARLET FEVER GIVES RISE TO LAWSUIT UNIQUE IN STATE People Whose Children Have Disease Sue Family from Whom They Claim to Have Caught It. Allegation that scarlet fever was com- municated by children who had it leaving their home, Is the basis of a sult filed in distriet court, the suit being the first of the kind ever known in Nebraska. Charles Coppock Is plaintitf against Mr. and Mrs. George Newman, and Dr. J. Alex Willlams is named as a codefendant. The sum asked 1s $5,800. It is charged In the petition that Jean Newman, infant daughter of the defend- ants, was allowed to leave the residence at 3397 Spalding street when convalescent, “and at & time most likely to spread the contagion”; that Jean Newman commun- leated the disease to John, Harry, Emily and Dorls Coppock, aged 14, 12, 9 and 2 years, respectively. Dr. Willlams Is made a codefendant be- o it 1s charged that he failed to obey of Heglth regulations with respect to reporting the fliness of Jean Newman. ‘The petition sets up that permanent dem- ages to health resulted to several of the Coppock children and for this 35,00 Is asked and a medical and nurses' bill of 800 was incurred, Jhaking the total sum sued for $6,800. MAJOR WCARTHY MAY RISE Chief Quartermaster of Department The visit of Major D. E. McCarthy, chief quartermaster of the Department of the Missourl, to Washington, is thought to have something to do with his possible change from this station, probably as de- pot quartermaster at San Francisco, whieh Is regarded as one of the most important quartermaster stations in the country, During Major McCarthy's absence Cap- taln L. H. Kilbourne will act as chief quartermaster. Major McCarthy Is now near the top rank of the majors in the quartermmster department and he will reach the ot lieutenant colonel within a few wmonths, which would naturally assign him to a more important post than the one he now oe- cuples.

The new office will be created In Omaha, following the transfer on April 1 of the business of the Union Pacitic ralirosd from the Pueific to the American company. Mf.

What next happened is not clear, but after @ little Bausher says he folt a strange hand in his pocket. Extending a search from the hands up the arm to the body, he discovered that the hand belonged to Smith. “I'm robbed, I'm robbed,” cried Bausher in robust, sonorous tones. “Look on the floor—on the floor,” shouted | the bartender. Bausher did discover four $5 bills under | the table and professed himself still out| & similar sum. The police appeared and carried off the quartet to the station.
