QUITS THE OMAHA ROAD.
Wallace c. Winter Resigns As Its
General Superintendent.

Wallace c. Winter Resigns As Its
General Superintendent.
General Superintendent Wallace c.
Winter, of the Chicago st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha, has submitted his resig-
nation and will leave the service of the
line late this month to retire permanent
ly from active railway work and engage
in commercial lines.
Mr.. Winters decision to abandon rail
reading came late last night and was an
nounced to his intimate friends today,
causing keen surprise.
He will leave st. Paul to become, on
Jan. l, a member of the PettiboneMil-
ligan corporation, heavy dealers in rail-
way supplies and material, in Chicago.
Several offers by the Chicago corpora
ton were refused. Last night new pro-
posals were made and of such nature
that Mr.. Winter found it advisable to
accept.
Mr.. Winter is son of E. w. Winter,
a Northwestern railway official of dis
tinguished ability, who was general
manager of the Omaha for many years
and at one time president of the North
ern Pacific and now president of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company.
Young Winter entered railway service
with the Omaha line, in the general
freight department, becoming later a
travelling auditor. He afterwards served
in the freight claim department and was
then made chief clerk to the general sup
erintendent, becoming, year or two lat
er, superintendent of the Wisconsin Di-
vision. From that post he was, two
years ago, promoted to the office of gem
eral superintendent. Mr.. Winter has
made an enviable record with the Omaha,
and for some time has been considered
logically in line for some post of first
Importance on the Northwestern system.
His sudden decision to leave railway
work to engage in commercial venture
is, therefore, keen surprise and in
dicates the flattering nature of the pro-
posals made by the Chicago corporation.
Mr.. Winter has been unusually popu-
lar with the employees of the system and
has made record for efficiency which
will be hard to equal. His management
of the affairs of the general superin-
tendent's office has been such as to win
much favorable comment from older Of
fieials. He is young man, not yet thir-
ty-five years of age.
No announcement was made regard
ing the appointment of a successor as
general superintendent. An official
statement indicates that the appoint
ment may not be made at once.

SURPRISED THE CHIEF.
Police Force Present Him With I;
Handsome Gift.

Chief Donahue was given very pleas
ant surprise last evening when he reach
ed the city hail. The patrolmen were
all in the rear of the hall, but as soon
as he had seated himself in his office
they came forward in a body and pre-
sented him with handsome watch fob.
Judge w. F. Hughes made the presenta-
ton on behalf of the force, in few
we'll chosen words, and Mr.. Donahue
responded feelingly.
The fob is a very pretty one, an elk's
head appearing at the bottom and the
antelers encircling clock dial at the
top, the hand on the dial pointing to
eleven o'clock. The elk's head and ant
lers are of ivory. Chief Donahue great
ly appreciates the gift, and especially for
the kindly feeling on the part of the
police force toward him that was betok-
ened in the act.

KILL FRANK JAMES,
Helena Man Sought the Life Of the
Former Bandit.


Helena, Mont, Dec. But for the
timely warning of hackman, in whose
carriage he was sitting, it is more than
probable that Charles N. Galland, of
Helena, would have taken a shot at
Frank James, the famous Missouri ex-
bandit, in Butte last night. Galland as
serts that during the raid on the North
field, Mimi, bank, James and Cole
Younger killed Albert Briggs, his broth
er-in-law, and for this he sought re-
venge. The jehu, after driving his pa
tron to the theater, informed detectives
of the purpose of the visit. They in
turn warned James, and then removed
Galland to Jail, where he will be kept
until after the James company leaves
Butte. AT the prison Galland declared
himself to be brother of Alfred Galen
of Helena, the attorney general-elect, and
also brother-i law of Senator Thorn
as III. Carter, but he was registered at
the hotel as Galland.
James was seen afterword, and said
that it was funny Galland should wait
twenty years for his fancied revenge;
that his whereabouts had been we'll
known, but that he was prepared for all
'eventualities, and displayed an auto
matte revolver of ponderous size. The
weapon found on Galland was also of
large caliber and was cooked ready for
shooting. Galland was more or less under
the influence of liquor at the time.
James said that he had taken drink
with his would-be assassin during the
afternoon, but that he did not know him.
