Iowa City. Dec. 15.-Wiliian Wier.
for sixteen years an employee Of the
Chicago q Northwestern railroad.
passed away early Sunday morning in
a local hospital. He came to this city
about sixteen years ago stranger but
his evident refinement gave him ample
opportunity to rise in the world. He
made many friends. but to none OF
these did he reveal in any manner an
mixing OF his past life. There was a
great deal Of speculation.
Papers belonging TO the dead man
seem TO indicate that he was once a
professor in the University OF Edin-
burgh. Why: he came to the United
States TO seek employment and finally
became an employe OF the railroad will
probably never be answered.
Friends interested In his behalf
have communicated with people in
Edinburgh In an endeavor to clear up
what has been a mystery to them FOR
sixteen years.
