l'rcatlco Tiller, one of tho most notorious
criminals In his lino In tho country, whose
capture In Omaha wao exclusively an
nounced In Tliu Ueo of Friday, hud his pro
llmlnary hearing yesterdny before United
titntcs Commissioner Anderson and was hold
for trial In thu federal court at Cincinnati
under $2,000 bonds. Ills pal, George II.
Grant, alias C. Martin, nllas Charles Fisher,
who had boon brought to Ihu city from
Hastings Friday, was also held In the mime
sum. Doth men will bu taken to Cincinnati,
tho sccno of their lust postolllco robbery,
within a day 01 bo.
Chief Donahuo has received several tele
grams of congratulation from postofllco in
spectors and detective) agencies throughout
tho country for his good fortune In cap
turing so dangerous n man. Tho chief fully
rcullzea that In tho person of Tiller ho bus
no ordinary criminal, and lust night, fear
ing that ho would try to break jail, sta
tioned mi armed guard In tho corridor out
side his cell When ho was takon out for
arraignment Saturday hu was handcuffed
with inoro than ordinary caro and tho do
tall of police having him in chargo was or
dered not to loso sight of him for a mo
ment. Tin cc Wltiii-NMt'K Tpntlfy.
Thrco witnesses wcro examined beforo
Commissioner Anderson C. II. Wanzer,
chief of police ut Huttings; Frank 011
pliant, cashier of tho Adams Express com
pany, Hastings, and Michael F. Dctupsey,
thu Oniuliu dotectlvo who mado tho arrest.
Dempsoy testified that whllo ho was lead
ing Tiller to Jail tho latter offered to brlbo
him to turn him loose. Chief Wanzer of
tho Hastings pollco testified to finding a
forged druft for $1,250 mi tho person of
Cram, Tiller's pal. This draft, which had
been raised from $1, was on tho Fourth Na
tional bank of Cincinnati and was mado
payable to tho order of (J. II. (Irant. Tho
draft wa3 nITorcd In evidence. It was clev
erly executed with tho exception of tho
perforations, and It was evident from tho
irregularity of thcuo that tho work had been
done by hand, each holo being pricked out
separately. Grant had been arrested whllo
trying to cash tho draft.
Frank Ollphant testified to tho fact that
Grant had called at tho express ofllco Tues
duy nnd arranged to send n valiso to a
person named John It. Palmer at Oinahu.
This was significant, as it was ovldeuco
tending to show that there wero dealings
between Grant and Tiller. Tiller was ar
rested at Omaha when ho called to get thu
valise.
I'ostolllco Inspector Sinclair hns re
ceived a telegram from tho postoffico in
spector at St. Louts, saying, among other
things, that In tho robbery of postofllco
boxes at Cincinnati March C no less than
twenty letters containing checks had been
stolen.
Tho Identification of Tiller was mado
nioro positive, yesterday through tho medium
of a dctectlvo agency publication, which
printed his picture, description nnd a spec
imen of his handwriting. Ho was also
identified as Prcntlco Tiller by L. A. Gold
smith, saloon keeper nt Ninth street and
Cnpltol nvonue. Ho and Goldsmith were

"Damago caBes against tho city seem to

for action in most of tho personal injury
ciainis mat aro prcsonted to tho council.
A few lawyers who aro short on clients get
hold of all persons who fall down on tho
street mid try to hatch up a caso that
will bring them a fco," remarked Gcorgo C.
Cockrell, city claim agent, "and a llttlo in
vestigation explodes nlnc-teiiths of theso
personal Injury claims.
"A fuw months ago a claim for dam
ages was filed by tho father of n llttlo
girl who was said to havo been Injured on
a defective board walk. Physicians ex
amined tho child and could find nothing
wrong with her. I managed to got the
llttlo girl away from her father for n few

Sho had stepped on a brick and in falling

conscience ruined tho claim.
"It seems to run In families to got hurt.

Tho architects Interested In the construc
tion of the auditorium aro sending In let
ters to tho building commlttco of tho audi
torium company giving their opinion ns to
tho terms of tho proposed competition. As
tho preliminary plans outlined by tho com
mlttco a few days ago nro considered they
present new difficulties to tho architects.
Ono of tho Insurmountable dlfllcultles In
tho preliminary rules requires architects
to guarantco tho cost of construction at tho
figure fixed in tho estimate. This, in tho
opinion of the architects, Is practically Im
possible, and tho general opinion is voiced
by ono who said:
"If wo wcro contractors wo might guar
antee tho maximum cost of the building,
but ns architects wo havo no control over
prices. Tho contractor can secure his ma
terial and can know what It costs. He can
buy on tho market at today's quotations
for delivery when tho material Is needed,
Wo base our estimates on tho price of ma
terial today. On such a building as tho
auditorium a change in tho quotations of
teol might wlpo out our cntlro commission

material wo could fix prices with certainty;

'Tho chargo that tho railroads centering

no grrtln market hero Is tho worst sort of
nonsense," said Secretnry A. II. Bcshears
of tho Nebraska Grain Dealers' association.
"You cannot havo a market unless there is
something to bring grain to a town. When
Omaha has flouring and cereal mills of suf
ficient capacity to attract grnln to tho city
lu amounts which compnro with that do-
llvcred nt St. Louis, Kansas City or halt
n dozen other points In the west, then all
of tho opposition which could bo made by
all of tho railroads In the country would
not be sufficient to defeat tho establish
ment of a grain market In Omaha. The
minors arc tho men who make a market for
grain, and when they como Into n town the
market follows as suro as night follows
day. There was no live stock market here
until thero wero packing houses, und tho
