Supposed to Hnve.nccn DcndforHix Ycnrn , JnnicH Imflcr's Hiding 1'laco Discovered by the Detectives. The I > end Come lo Iilfe. _ Morrison Wllcox. deputy sheriff of Cftttnr- D'UBIIS county , New York , passed through the city yesterday en route to Olcnn , nnd hnd in custody .Tunics Gregory Lnflor , n promi nent stock raiser whoso ranch Is located near WatrouB , New Mexico. The prisoner was handcuffed , nnd IIURO stool shackles were clasped about his ankles. The crlmo for which Laller Is now under arrest Is robbery und assault with intent to kill. The story of the terrible affair as told to n Hr.it reporter by the oftlcer is a strange one and is as follows : Mr. and Mrs. Mason Laflcr , parents of the prisoner , arc respectable fanners living near Olcan , Now York. Twin sons were born to them and when they grew to manhood the resemblance between them was so great that few people could tell one from the other. IJoth of them were sent to eolloKO , James choosing Cornell and his twin brother William wont to Yale. Uoth of them , after three years' left their alma maters und returned to their homo. William took the management of the farm nnd James began the study of law in the village of Olcan. It was the habit of the latter to spend Sunday at homo and on the evening of that day the brothers invariably spent a few hours at thu house of a neighbor named John Clifford , a rich lumber manu facturer and who had two lovely daughters. One Sunday night in Juno Ibb'-J a gcntli'inun called on Mr. Clifford and paid him nearly (8,000 in cash. This was done in the presence of both the Latter brothers. Shortly after the twins departed for homo. Hctwccn the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock next morning , Mr. Clifford was attacked by a masked man nnd beaten into insensibility. The $ $ ,000 which was hidden between the mattress of the bed was taken and the rob ber started to make his esca | > o. Ho was met in the hall by the youngest Miss Clifford , William Trailer's sweetheart , and the girl with unusual bravery , snatched the mask from the robbers face and exclaimed , "My God. Hill Laller what have you done ! " The would-be murderer struck her und then lied. Next morning William Laller was arrested nnd held without bail charged with burglary and attempted murder. Mr. Clifford finally recovered and William was placed on trial. The main witness was his old sweet-heart who swore positively to indcntlfylnghim as the robber. She was sure It was William nnd not James as the robber was drcssscd in the same clothes William had worn the night proceeding the crime nnd and which in material and style were radi cally different from those worn by his brother. In his own behalf William testified that ho was Innocent nnd all ho know was that ho had retired one hour after leavingtheClifford mansion on Sunday night. He had awakened In the morning with a terrible nausea and felt queer for two or three days. The jury had brought in a verdict of guilty as charged nnd the prisoner was sentenced to ten years hard labor at Sing Sing. While nearly every one believed William Kiillty there was one firm friend who doubted it ana set about to discover the truth. His investigation lasted nearly a year. His dis- coiverlus in brief were us follows : James at Cornell contracted many debts which were paid shortly after the robbery. That ho hod , sent $3,000 to a Mrs. Coates in Ithiaca as hush money for his ruining her daughter. That on the Sunday night proceeding the robbery James had purchased two ounces of chloroform nt an Olcan drug store with which ho undoubtedly drug ged his brother. A hundred minor things were found out that proved the guilt of James Laflcr. Before this investigation was completed James left for a trip to Now York. Abmit two months later a report reached Olean that ho had been drowned oft Long Branch while yachting , und that his body could not bo recovered. A week nfter- wnru tt respectable looking man giving his name ns Alfred Thomas appeared nt the Laf- lor farm and continued the news. Ho brought with him certain papers that bore out his statement , and James was given up as dead. One day , about three years later , Olcan nnd the surrounding country were electrified by the action of Governor Hill , who issued n pardon for William Laticr , stating that ho -was convinced of the convict's innocenceand that ho was positive that the crime was com mitted by his dead twin brother. The years passed on and would doubtless become only n memory ore long but for the appearance of a man in Olcan Uvo weeks ago who hnd a secret interview with the county , or district attorney. He informed that olticiul that ho was the man who had brought the news of , Jnmes' death to the family six years before nnd that ho was paid by James to do it. Ho said that James was living and was a ranchman , located near Wntrous , New .Mexico. A warrant was issued and the fugi tive apprehended last Thursday. Ho stoutly denies his guilt und says tlmt ho will be able to prove his innocence. THE DOG OUDINANCB. Chief of Police Soavey Determined to Knforco It. The city ordinance regulating the running at largo of dogs Is a dead letter and has been slnco Its original inception. , The tax , pro- ( 'vided for the enactment , Is $1 n year per dog , .but the law or any part thereof has never ibccn enforced or any tax collected. Chief of .Police Seavoy , however , declared that helms determined that hereafter , commencing with the 1st day of March , the letter and the spirit of the ordinance shall bo carried out and executed. He estimates that there are no less than 8.000 unlicensed dogs running at largo In the city , nnd ho intends to either do- populnto the community of these useless and annoying canines or. see that the city realizes the lawful revenue. In the months of Juno. July , August and September It is ugalnt the law to allow any unmuzzled dog to run tit largo In the streets of the city of Omaha. Any dog caught thus unmuzzled the law requires shall bo killed , and the owner , if ho bo convicted of allowing such dog to run so at largo , shall bo lined in u sum not less than f 100. Any party allowing n dog known to bo vicious to run nt largo at any time unmuzzled is liable to n line not less than $25 or moro than * 100. Chief Senvey is making preparations for u rigid enforcement of this ordinance nnd all owners * of ddgs are hereby forewarned ngulnst nuy violation of the same. A metal tug attached to n collar will bo furnished for each dog licensed , and which exempts them from molestation while nt largo , or during the current year of the payment of such tax. f THE UNION PACIFIC'S ATTITUDK. The Company HUH Decided Not to Join In the Freight War. TUo Union Pacific will not take part in the great freight war , at least for the present. In view of the fact that both the B. & M. and Chicago & Northwestern are actively engaged in the strife nnd that these two roads enter a considerable iwrtlon 'of the territory covered by the Union Pacific the decision of'that com pany has occasioned much surprise. To local jioints in Nebraska the rates of the B. & M. and Northwestern nro much lower on all classes of freight and the stand taken by the Union Pacific , is , to say the least u very Btrango one. In conversation with an old railroad man yesterday a BKK reporter was Informed that in all probability the unusually strange attitude of the Union Pucllle was duo to an agreement with the warring roads , whereby the freight trafllo would bo pro rated and that the Union Pacific would receive Its shnro whether they curried a iwutul or not. This it is hoped would break up the war at un early date Inasmuch as nil dealers west of the Missouri river are delaying giving or- ' dcrs for goods hoping to get n very small freight rjto. They nro anxiously watching the movements of the Union Pacific managers and will hold off ns long as possible before ordering Uny freight shipped. Of course thte will aflin all the roads uud they , seeing that nsig4)eiit8 ) , even ut reduced ra.tcs , nro rery fevf , will couio to un agreement soon. TJuU vfew of tbo CUMJ was stated to u prom- Incnt Union Pacific official yesterday. Ho nald tlmt It wns n very Ingenious theory but was nbsolutcly untrue. The Union Pacific , ho further flaid , wns in no such com bination. The company simply refused to enter into the battle and would keep out ns Idng ns possible. The connections of the road hnd been so Informed , To the question : "What Is the reason of the company's de cision I" ho said that ho did not earo to dis cuss that | Klnt. ) The company has taken its stand und that was all there was of it. There Tlight be some lm ) > ortnnt move In the near nturc , but of that ho could say nothing ut present. Notwithstanding the denial of the Union Pacific the theory advanced , ns above , is gen erally accepted ns true in commercial circles. MOKTUAIIY. JUDGE wni B. The funcrnl of this well-known gentleman took place Sunday afternoon from his Into residence on Eighteenth street ncnr Leaven- worth. It wns largely attended by friends nnd acquaintances who had known the de ceased in life. The funeral services were conducted by Ilov. W. A. Copelaml , of the Unitarian church. The pallbearers were A. P. Nicholas , Henry Bolln , Henry Beavers , Goo. E. Strathmnn , Herman Meyer ilnd Gustavo Belickc. At Prospect Hill , where the deceased was burled , J.

Edward Benkin , whoso death was an nounced In the Hun of Saturday was buried in Forest Lawn cemetery , under the auspices of the Carpenters' and Joiners' union. The funeral took place from the residence of the deceased , Fiftli and Pierce streets and was preceded by the Union Pacific band , to the northern part of the city. rnuTcir. The remains of Paul Frrtcli. nephew of Mrs. Fred Krug and Mrs. Ed Wlttig , were buried Sunday afternoon , in Forest Lawn cemetery , the funeral cortege leaving Drcxel & . Maul's , whcrotho remains of the young man hnd lain since his death , two days be fore in St. Joseph's hospital. wixcKsiAL's. Flndra Wonccslaus , the unknown , whoso remains have been , for several days , lying in Barrett & Heafy's , was buried yesterday afternoon nt 'J o'clock in St. Mary's cemetery. Funeral services were held at the Bohemian church on South Fourteenth street. niiAiir. The first special iraliccman who acted on the Sixteenth street viaduct , Mutbcw Brady , died Sunday at the residence of his family , H31 South Sixteenth street. He was a quiet , unassuming man , esteemed by all his acquaintances. Some months ago a change in the council cost him his position , since which time inactivity and n complication of diseases worked UJMIII him with the result above mentioned. The funeral will take place tilts * ; morning at 11:80 : o'clock , services being held at St. Patrick's church. . . The death yesterday of Freddy , the five- year-old nephew and adopted child of Mrs. Mnckuy , 1015 Chicago street , was from u curi ous and unusual cause. Aboiit n year ago ono of his play-fellows in si > qrt thrust a piece of chalk Into his ear. The piece wassoflrmly fixed in the orifice that it could not bo re moved , nnd us n result an abscess formed , which was treated in vain by physicians. There was no symptoms of the case proving fatal , and only a few hours before his death the boy was out at piny. The death was sud den and is thought to have been caused by the abscess bursting in the brain , causing the same effect ns apoplexy. OMAHA AIAVAV8 AH 13 AD. Albert , the Champion Pedestrian , n Former llesldcnt of Thta City. It may .not bo generally known , but it is a , ' fact that Albert , the winner of the recent six days go-as-you-plea'so walking match at Madison square garden , New York , was atone ono time a resident of this city , an attache of the old gambling house of Bivens& Ken nedy , over the Turf Exchange. Albert's score in the' race was ( Wl miles and u frac tion , the biggest on record. A utill moro wonderful feature of the performance is that Albert on the lust day , was sound and healty , and apparently ns fresh as upon the opening day. This , together with the mar velous distance ho covered , has given rise tea a widespread suspicion among sporting men , and many openly declare that there was some "shcnunnigan" connected with his work. Fitzgerald , . the ex-champion's cele brated score was 010 miles , eleven miles less than Albert's , and at the close Fit/gerald , who is a man of ex traordinary endurance , was nil but literally prostrated with exhaustion anil unable to move hand or foot for days. Fitzgerald de clares the recent achievement an impossi bility und challenges Albert to n similar con test with him. That there was fraud con nected with Albert's feat there seems to bo but little doubt. Just what Albert's secret is , of course , is a matter difficult to discover , but the furore it has created may lead to a full expose of the whole affair. LIFE AND DEATH.

Now that the Fremont , Elkliorn & Mis souri Valley road arc bidding for South Omaha tnulc , they would find it convenient to their patrons and their employes to fur nish a tclphotic.
