COLD WEATHER CAUSES
ALL TRAINS TO BE LATE

Although temperatures are much
higher and clear weather prevails IN the
west and middle west the railroads still
feel the effects of the recent cold spell.
Saturday morning the Northwestern
sioux City train was the only one coming
into Omaha on time, the others being
from one TO six hours late on account Of
the cold.
At no place through the Omaha zone
were storms reported, but the cold pre-
vented the engines from making steam
Trains are still running on the summer
schedules and consequently the time has
not been heightened TO fit the weather
conditions.

New Fallers Story
Appears, but it is
Very Quickly Denied

Another story telling Of the location
OF the murderer OF Bridge Waterman
Fallers, who disappeared from his post
OF duty on the Douglas street bridge one
night last July and has never been seen
since that time, has been waited into the
office Of the street railway company, in
whose employ Fallers was at the time.
This time the murderer Is said
to be William Wilde now in Jail at Fair
fax, Gregory county, South Dakota,
where he is held on the charge Of having
stolen a quantity OF clothing. The story
was told to the officers OF Gregory
county by one Robert Tierney a fellow
prisoner. and one who asserts he became
Intimately acquainted with Wilde, while
they were both In jail.
According to the story OF Tierney. wilde
told him that last July he was in Omaha
and that one night, about II o'clock. on
the west end OF tho Douglas street
bridge, he attacked the bridge tender,
struck him with an iron bar, crushed his
skull and killed him. After the man was
dead, he robbed the body. taking IS and
a revolver. Then he carried the body
to the middle OF the bridge and, raising II
over the rail, dropped It into the river.
Officers Of the street railway company
have investigated the report and find
that while Wilde is in jail at Fairfax. he
denies ever having made the statement
attributed to him by Tierney, or anybody
else. He says that he was not in Omaha
during July and that he was never on the
Douglas street bridge.
Another thing that discredits the story
OF Tierney is the statement OF Mrs. Fal-
lers to the effect that her husband did
not have, or carry a revolver and that at
no time when on night duty did he have
as much as SIS in his possession at one

men who followed after the porter
had led the way. The colonel was
asleep in chair In his drawing room

apartments. anxious to give him all
the rest he could get.
The colonel, however, greeted the

courteously, but told the scribes he
had nothing to say on public ques
tions. He expressed admiration for
Detroit, saying Il was the most beauti.
ful city in the land.
In Jackson, Ann Arfbor and Ypsi

out on the steps Of his car to shake
hands and say few words to the
crowds which congregated. He told

the boys q little football talk, telling
them to show no timidity in the game
