Railroad Joy riding was introduced into
Omaha Tuesday morning by a band Of
eighteen hoboes.
When the westbound Burlington pulled in
from the east about soclock the wandering
tribe had taken full possession OF the front
end Of the train. They were slowed away
on the rods and on the blind" on top Of
the<cars and on the tender.
''We're on and we're going to stay on"
shouted one OF the joy riders. And stay on
they did. The train was scheduled to stop

 IS A MARKED MAN.
zeiaya Goes About Mexico City Guard ed by Secret Service Officers.

Mexico City. Jan. Close Santos Zelaya. formerly president of Nica- ragua, was warned by officers today that the police are in receipt of secret information that two Salvadoreans and an American are in Mexico City, awaiting a favorable opportunity to take his life. Police officers advised Zelaya to arm himself and prepare for any emergency in which his life might be placed in jeopardy. They have also detailed two secret service officers to accompany him whenever he leaves his rooms and to keep a close watch over everyone entering his hotel.
 It is known that Zelaya has eXhib- jted some nervousness since coming to Mexico City and that he is never with out a pistol. It is reported that he carries & small derrirger in the side pockets of his coat.
 During the sixteen years that Ze- lava ruled over Nicaragua many per sons were exiled from that country.
 ZeIaya and his friends know that he is heartily hated by those who left Nicaragua when he was in power.
 Friends of Zelaya said today that he has decided to buy hacienda in Mex ico and live on it. If this is true, he is evidently not planning to take an early trip to Europe
