Tho trial of E. F. Holmes, chnrged with
forgery of railroad tickets, was called be
foro Judgo Ilaker yesterday. Tho case
was started Thursday and Jury preliminaries
occupied thu greater part of tho day. The
feature of tho forenoon session of court was
tho appearance of James O. Illtt, a ticket
broker of St. Joreph, Mo. Mr. Illtt gave tho
information against Holmes that led to his
apprehension by tho railroad authorities.
While tho Burlington route Is tho prosecut
ing witness, other roads aro Interested and
Pussonger agents all over thu country aro
supporting tho action ngalust Holmes.
When tho Tratismlsslsslppl Exposition was
on In Omaha, Holmes ld a thriving busi
ness In ticket brokerage. Ho was called a
"curbstone broker." IIo had no ofilco. but
ha stood on tho streets nnd attracted tho at
tention of travelers who felt tho need of cut
rates. It Is cstimtacd that ho sold iinnro
tickets lu 0110 day than somo ot thu mora
quiet brokers could sell In a week. Ho was
not detected while his operations were going
on, and It was after he had left Omaha
that Mr. Illtt had occasion to reveal his
alleged trickery. It camo about through a
consignment of tlckots shipped by express
to llltt's ofllce. He examined tho tickets and
found that punch marks had becu filled
up In such a manner ns to validate expired
transportation. It is suld that tho work was
as clover as any that had ever attracted
attention from railroad detectives. Mr. Illtt
said nothing until nftcr ho had made sure
that tho tickets had been tampered with.
Ho did not know that Holmes was thu trans
gressor, but the fact that the shipment came
from him led to his arrest, and since then
lho detectives In chargo ot tho work clnlm to
have evidence showing bli guilt. Detective
Gorman of tho Santa Fo route was 0110 of
the principals In bringing Holmes to arrest.

Ho followed him to tho south and arrested
him at Natchez, Miss.
Desplto tho fact that ho Is without money
and apparently without friends, Holmes
maintains n calm lndlffercnco that Is nota
ble In a criminal court. He declares ho Is
Innocent ot any wrong, and has a ready
answer to every point brought out.

Mrs. Kundensky alleges that her husband
has been paying attentions to Miss Flint
since 1893 and has promised to marry her as
soon as ho can securo a divorce.

Owing to the absence from tho city of 1
President Hurt, Ocnernl Manager Dickinson
and Chief Engineer Ilerry, the bids for tho
proposed Sherman hill cutoff on tho Union
Pacific were not opened yesterday. President
Hurt Is on a tour of Inspection ot tho Wyo

Fitzgerald, one of the directors; General
Manager Dickinson Is still In Kansas, where
ho has been making an extended tour of tho
Uulon Paclllc lines in that state, and Chief
Engineer nerry has not returned from

Improvements now under way. I
All the bids for tho big contract at Sher
man bill aro now In the chief engineer's
olllce and will bo opened, It Is stated, upon
the return of tho threo absent otllclals. This
will probably bo early next week. Because
of tho stupendous character of tho work
contemplated at Sherman hill' it Is likely
that tho bids, after being oponed, will bo
considered for several days by the ouiclals
beforo tho contract Is let. Tho necessity or
careful action in this matter can bo appre
ciated when it is considered that the pro.
posed Improvements represent an outlay of
$2,500,000. Tho Immensity of tho contract ,
has caused tho contractors furnishing esti
mates, according to their own statement?,
to figure their bids with tho utmost cara
and It Is anticipated that there will be but
a minor divergency lu the various estimates
