Lawyer Deceived
By Trail Hitter
Who Changed Front

That Harry Craig lied in his petition
against the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany, without the knowledge OF his ht-
torney, is the declaration of T. 4.
Donahoe. his lawyer Craig, who lives in
Council Bluffs, yesterday announced he
had framed up a damage case against the
Omaha and Council Bluffs street rail-
way, and received settlement for $500.
He also declared he mad wrongfully
brought a heavy damage suit against
the Union Pacific. which he had dis-
missed at his own costs. He was one ot
the Billy Sunday trail hitters and said
his conscience forced him to right the
wrong done.
MI. Donahoe asserts Craig came 70 him
declaring that his health had been per-
manently impaired as the result OF in
juries caused by the railroad company's
negligence, and as his story was a plausl-
BILE one, the action was commenced.
Certainly ] would not have been con-
nected with the matter had there been
the slightest intimation that Craig's story
was crooked" the attorney asserted.
1t is still my firm conviction that
Craig was seriously hurt by the railroad,
as stated in the bill OF complaint II is
my opinion that his mentality has be-
come affected by religious study and
that his sensational statements OF yes
terday are the result OF mental disor-
ders"

Trade Marts of the World Searched
for Goods and Wares to Please
the Most Exaoting,
STYLES AND PRICES IN LINE

The Week Of Wonderful Win
dows" that will begin in omaha
March 80 is already beginning to
make the great army of feminine
shoppers talk. Says Mrs. Jones to
Mrs. Swan:
81 realize more than ever that
right here in Omaha we can buy
everything, necessities and luxuries
alike; can get the very best service
and the very latest styles.
Omaha has some OF the best stores in
the world and Omshas stores are wide
awake. They have scores OF buyers who
make several trips a year TO the big east
ern markets and style ceuters In add
tion to these, some OF them have per
manent buying offices in New York and
a permanent staff of buyers remaining
there on the ground and always In touch
with the manufacturers the originators
are quick to pick up the newest things
that come out, so that the Omaha
retail center is never more than thirty
six houIs behind Fifth avenue i'm the mat
ter OF styles. They have, also, their own
offices and personal representatives IN
France. Germany and England keeping
In close touch with all the fashion and
fabric centers of Europe
"All that is true said Mrs. Swan, and
another thing is the economic feature OF
trading in Omaha stores. While we get
here more for our money, all things con
sidered than we would elsewhere. we are
also helping Omaha TO grow with every
dollar that we spend in Omaha
I'VE all are proud OF Omaha's wonder
full growth and we can add to this by our
patronage Of home industries. lt Is =
plain case where we help each other
Omaha merchants give us the best and
latest merchandise at tho lowest possible
prices and we help build up the city by
trading here"
Yes" said Mrs. Jones, "and this Week
of Wonderful Windows is going to open
the eyes OF lot OF people to the wonder
ful stocks and facilities OF the Omaha re-
tail stores / know that In comparison
with other cities of like population We
have surprisingly superior number o.
retail establishments. This Is the rea

PHYSICAL VALUATION OF
HARTMAN LINES UNDER WAY

The making of the physical valuation
OF the lines of the Hartman system of
railroads is well under way. but 1t is
probable that IL will be a year or more
before tits finished. The valuation Of
the San Pedro line has been finished and
the experts are now working on the west
end of the Short Line and the Oregon &c
Washington roads of the systems.
In making the physical valuation of the
Hartman lines, experts in all depart
ments are employed. They take into con-
sideration original cost of every article
and piece OF equipment. or machinery,
figuring out depreciation that has ao-
crued by reason OF age or wear. The
purpose OF securing the physical valua-
tion is I'm large measure to have correct
data on hand whenever II may be neces-
sary to furnish information relative to
rates, profits and losses. in the event
such Information is wanted by the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
