POLICE HAVE MURDER CLUE
Believe Bridge Toll Keeper Murdered
and Thrown Into River.
NO TRACE FOUND OF THE BODY
and Detectives Are Following
Theory that He was As
saulted by Negroes.

The police OF Omaha and Council Bluffs
are hard at work on the theory that II. r.
Fallers, the toolkeeperf at the Douglas
street bridge was murdered and his body
thrown into the Missouri river shortly be
fore midnight Monday.
A series of blood clots on the footpath Of
the bridge near the middle OF the structure
led the police at once to suspect murder.
The railing OF the bridge on the north side
was spattered with blood and the cables
which run along over the water were like
wise blood stained, which Is believed by
the police to indicate that Fallers was first
beaten up and then thrown overheard In a
final effort to hide the crime
Captain Henry Dunn Of the Omaha po-
lice department, detailed Detectives Dono-
hue and Heitfelt to solve the mystery of
the toiikeeper = Disappearance and the po-
nee Of Council Bluffs are also working on
the case.
Falers resided at 2SO1 Third avenue and
was known to be in comfortable circuni-
stances It was learned by the police yes
terday that he invariably carried as much
as $l50 Of his personal funds with him. As
far as could be ascertained up to a late
hour last night none of the toll money had
been taken by the men who are supposed
to have made away with Fallers.
Thre negroes who had been seen hiding
on the Iowa side OF the bridge, are sus-
pected of having murdered Fallers and the
efforts OF the police OF both cities are di-
rected towards locating them.
Last seen by w. A: Larry.
Fallers was last seen at 1875 o'clock by
w. A. Larry, 5l4 South Seventh street, who
paid him IS cents toll. and the police be-
lieve that the man disappeared shortly
after that time as his cash register showed
the last toll to have been cents.
The street car company was notified of
his disappearance about midnight by per-
sons who had passed the toll gate without
finding collector.
The police of Council Bluffs and Omaha
and more than 100 citizens OF the two
cities started on a search for the missing
man but up until an early hour yesterday
no trace of him could be found.
! 1t is known that Fallers had S645 in his
pockets at the time of his disappearance
Twenty-one dollars was found by the DO
lice In secret drawer in the toll house.
The cash register was inspected by off
cials OF the street railway company and
showed that s27.45 had been collected since
Fallers went ON duty At o'clock last
night,
Fallerp, it is said. always placed his col
lectionsn TN his pocket and rang them up
In the cash register. When his pocket wss
filled he emptied them into the secret
drawer. Lss
Arnold Clark. q street car conductor on
Council Bluffs car, told the police that
he had seen three negroes hiding behind a
barrel near the toll house three minutes
before the time w. A. Larry said he had
paid Fallers IS cents toll.
Fallers is about 40 years old and had
been employed as toll collector since he
was injured in street car wreck ten
years ago

CARING FOR THE "DRY" cows
No Profit In Allowing Animals to Run
Down In Flesh During Winter
Should Have Grain.
CBv w. M KELLEY)

(By w M Kelley
I know dairymen who do not feed
strippers or dry cows any grain food
during the winter until they freshen
late in the winter or early spring
This may be cheap way of roughing
them through the winter, but such
methods have never returned profit
on the writer's farm.
| know that Il seems a loss to feed
dry cows, but II is not so much ques-
tion as to whether a farmer can af-
ford to feed them grain as II is
whether or not he can afford to have
them become run down In flesh and
be unable to give a good yield OF milk
after they freshen in the spring.
Two pounds of good wholesome
grain food day to each COW will help
wonderfully and in connection with
good ensilage and clover hay will main
tain her In very good condition.
We have found early cut clover hay
one of the best winter feeds for dairy
cattle. We have often changed from
clover to timothy hay and invariably
the yield of milk would fall off.
Well cured clover hay comes nearer
to being balanced food than any
other one crop we grow on our farms.
If the COW could hold enough clover
hay we would not need to feed any
thing else. but s.e likes variety and
does decidedly better when fed ensil.
age with her clover hay. Corn ensil-
age adds palatability and succulence
to the ration and makes II easier to
masticate and digest than dry fodder.
The silo is also great saver Of la
Dor and barn room and four tons of
corn ensilage can be stored in the
space occupied by one ton of hay.
The dairyman who is without a
silo to provide succulence during the
winter months is certainly up against
hard proposition.
