some time ago, when the Holmes
crimes were first made public. photo
graphs of the man were sent to all
the police stations of the country, to-
gether with the photographs of the
people who were missing and sup
posed to have been murdered by him
and his accomplices. These photo
graphs have been in the hands Of the
officers here and they now claim to
have positive evidence that Holmes
was In Omaha in 1891 for a short
time, and was here again in 1893 for
several months in the employ of the
Elkhorn railroad as a special officer.
Omaha police say that at times
Holmes, or Howard, as he was known
then, was implicated with the Hedgs-

picion led to his discharge by the rail-
