terprsing Yankees, of various trades and profess

A RAILWAY SwINDLER- Milwaukee IViscon-
sin gives an account of the arrest of John Newman,
freight agent on the st. Paul and Fond du Lac
Railroad, for ticket swindling. The tickets were
stolen from the offices of roads and sold to persons
coming East. The tickets generally sold in
Chicago. In one instance company had lot of
tickets printed which were deposited in the safe,
but were nevertheless returned from the East.
About 81 900 worth of tickets were found in New
mans possession, taken from various roads
He is a Young man about 2S years OF age, and was
formerly conductor on the AndroscOggin and
Penobscott Railroad, in Maine, and more recently
was conductor in Illinois.
William r. Seeick general agent of the Chicago,
ST. Paul and Fond du Lac Railroad was arrested on
the 9th, in Milwaukee, as an accomplice of New

road men have been connected with the swindle.
