"Tobe Dunn" Makes
a Confession and'
Tells Real Name
The man arrested by Chief Maloney last
week In connection Vlth Dlggs Nolan,
the southern outlaw who Is being held at
the county jail for tital In the federal
courts on the charge, of using the malls
to defraud, and who gave the name of
Tobe Dunn, a prominent district court
Judge of Memphis, Tenn., made a written
confession this morning, denying all con
nectlon with the Nolan rase" nnd stating
that his name is It. S. Hums. He gave
hln address as Columbia, Tenn.
He said he had never retained Arthur
Mullen as his lawyer, had never seen him
until yesterday morning, and that he
did not want to have anything to do with
Mullen. Mullen has been trying In every
possible way tho last fe'w days to get
Hums out of the city jail, where ho Is
serving a thirty daya' sentence on u
vagrancy charge.
Hums saya he came to Omaha upon re
quest of Krnest Nolan, formerly u city
detective at Memphis, who was dls
charged from tho 'forco following an ef
fort on his part to secure his brother's
release from the custody of United Htate
officers by force. He was to receive j
a day and have all expenses paid during
his stay In Omaha. Krnest Nolan cam
here with nurns. Upon earning of Hums'
arrest, Nolan left Omaha Christmas
morning for fear he would be arrested.
Chief Maloney and government officers
are Investigating Hums. If they find no
damaging evidence against the prisoner
he will be released and then un opror.
tunlty to "once more breathe the pure
zone of his sunny southland." us he In
serted In his confession.
UNION PACIFICMAY BUILD
Local Officials Say Road Will Have
Line jto San Francisco.
WANT THROUGH LINE TO COAST
If Central Pacific Is Taken from
Union Pacific Control the Ilond
AVtll Ilull.l a Line of
It Umi.
There wan an exodus of Union FaclflC
officials of New York Friday night, go-
lng there to be present at the meeung oi
Ilarrlman officials next week to figure
out details In connection with tho supreme
court s order, dissolving the merger oi
the Southern and Union Tacltlc. President
Mohler left for tho east Friday and was
followed by Vice President Monroe, Pan
seriger Manager Fort and General Solici
tor lxomls.
Nona of 'the officials of the Union Pa
cific left behind will attempt to predict
the outcome of tho conference and the
ultimate disposition of the property, but
all agree that tho Union Pacific will never
let go of the old Central Pacific, tho line
from Ogden to San Francisco without n
fight. They contend thut If the Southern
Pacific Insists upon holding onto this por
tion of the transcontinental system and
win, Inside of a year the Union Pacific
will have a continuous line from Omaha
Into San Francisco. In the event the
Union Pacific should ho forced to let go
of the old Central Pacific. It will use the
San Pedro line to h'ood advantage.
The Union Pacific owns the San Pedro
and tho plan Is. providing an agreement
cannot be reached with tho Southern Pa
cific, to, build from Callento, Nov.. almost
due west to San Franclecd. Py using the
i San Feiro from Ocden to Calient and
i building n. line from that uo'nt Into San
' Francisco, the distance to the coast would
bo shortened coi'slderablo and a much
easier gtae than that of thr old Central
Pacific obtained
It Is estimated that in the event It
should become necessary for the Union
Pacific to build west from Callento, a
dlBtanco of something like 600 miles, the
work could bo completed in operation
inside of one year.
Masked Bandit Holds
Up a Restaurant
Saturday Morning
The early morning tranquility of the
Onra Minute1 restaurant, on Fifteenth

by u masked robber.

rietors, and the night waiter, Jim Slyter,
were In the back end of Uie establish
ment, a rough looking Individual wearing
a heavy mask and a formldablo six
shooter, ' entered the front door und de
manded that every one throw up his
hands. Slyter was the rirst to respond,
then the patrons who were eating their
breakfasts, followed his orders, but Fln
son. who Is humorously Inclined, thought
It was a Joke and hesitated. Hut only
for tho fraction of a econd.
The bandit then leaned over the cash
register and lellcved It of 3I, but left
behind, like a good fport, 40 cents for
change.
Before leaving he admonished that It
would be safer If no one looked out of
thp door for at least five minutes.
