who have talked of buying the property
have expressed the intention of building a
business block and It la said that Whichever

The lots now have a reatrtenoe on them,
and the price asked is tX.S0g or almost

that organisation waa looking far a suitable
site for the building afterwards built at
Twentieth and Douglas streets. The Omaha
club la said to have offered S30.9C for the

When Chief of Police Donahue called at
the hospital Preston told htm the same
story as ho haa told to all others who
have Interviewed him. The chief told him
ha would bo safely Identified within forty
eight hours and that he could only do hla
case harm by persisting in -his story.
"But that la my true story," he persisted.
Preston toM the chief he came to Omaha
from Hlgglna. Tex., and that lie had a
ticket to Omaha.
"On what road did yon come InT" asked
the chief.
"On the Banta Fa"
When told that the Santa Fe does not
run te Omaha, Preston said he supposed
be must have "got switched off." Finally
he said ho came m to Omaha In a boxcar.
He seemed to place considerable reliance
on the fact that the authorities cannot
identify him.

An officer Is on guard at the door of

If Preston should prove to be the maa

Manchester and handed it to another

of Cincinnati. The dashing Jennie Jerome,
before her marriage to Lord Randolph
Churchill, was renowned for her beauty
la England, and hardly a season within
recent years has passed without aa Amer
ican girl becoming a prime favorite in
London.
The latest to receive the homage of the
English is Harriet Wadsworth. a couaia
of Mra Clarence Mackay and of Craig
Wadsworth. secretary to the American
embassy in London. Mlsa Wadsworth is a
gueet of Lady Barrvmore. formerly Mrs.
Post, who Is her aunt. Another aunt Is
Mr. Adair.
