Emerson Rowell, Who Jumped From a Union Pacific Train.
OMAHA, May 13.—The man who jumped from a train at Chappelle, Neb., Thursday, is Emerson Rowell, an Englishman, whom sickness made crazy. He is confined at the Omaha City Jail under treatment. His wife and two children, who have been his traveling companions from Colfax, Cal., on the way back to England, are making their home temporarily in the matron's rooms.
Near Chappelle, a little town on the Union Pacific, a few miles from the Wyoming line, Rowell's dementia became acute, and he leaped through a car window while the train was moving at the rate of forty miles an hour. He was not injured.
The Rowells are in destitute circumstances, having purchased transportation only as far as Orton, Mich.
