  We have observed a diffuse component to the low-energy magnetic excitation
spectrum of stripe-ordered La5/3Sr1/3NiO4 probed by neutron inelastic
scattering. The diffuse scattering forms a square pattern with sides parallel
and perpendicular to the stripe directions. The signal is dispersive, with a
maximum energy of ~10 meV. Probed at 2 meV the scattering decreases in strength
with increasing temperature, and is barely visible at 100 K. We argue that the
signal originates from dynamic, quasi- one-dimensional, antiferromagnetic
correlations among the stripe electrons.
