FUEL THIEVES.
Car stakes stolen ssd burned ~
The Fate efe25o per Messh-Hsw
Cenvicsioss m Escaped.

It costs the Virginia and Truekse
Railroad $3.50 per month to keep its
fat cars in stakes. This Ii not because
Of the wear and tear OF consumption OF
timbsrs put to that use. but because Of
the number Of these stakes stolen. II
il well known that there are many fani'
lies ON the Comstook who never pay .
cent for fuel. Some Of these send chill
drsn to the yards where wood il unload
ed. and 10 the hosting works to pick up
spiinters and barks. and short sticks and
the like; and some under cover OF night
do not hesitate to pouncs upon anything
that will burn. When hoistipg works
arc abandoned they are Immediately
robbed OF everything that can b used
for fuel, sven to their tramwsys. The
dumps for debris from the mines are
watched constantly, and everything like
q chip or wedgeo or broken timber thrown
out, bs Il never 20 wet and soggy, 10
bounced on and carried of for fuel.
The foregoing. 90 far a. chips and
bark, etc., are concerned. IL well enough;
but all incursions do not end there.
Unless carloads and piles Of wood are
watched or protected, they are robbed.
One mounts the sticks with an az and
chops the bark of; by another stakes
while In the cars are removed, and 1t mot
uufrequsnily happens that when the
road operatives 60 to move Q carload Of
wood they fud the stakes all gone and
ars delayed till others can b provided
aud placed.
In TACT, many parents who depend
upon pickings for fuel do not hesitate to
teach and encourage their children to
steal wood a. we'll as stakes, and often
take q hand in the business themselves.
Night before last ct n time three
women were seen staggering under .
backload Of three stakes each which
they had Just taken from some dats over
by the Ward shalt.
It 10 little use to arrest these persons.
They always demand jury trials and are
either acquitted or the jury fails TO
agree, because some INT Of the panel
sympathixss with the business and does
not know how soon he may need an
expression Of kindred sympathy himself.
A case Of the kind was recently tried In
Virginia. The defendant wal acquitted,
although the case was a very plain one
and the stolen stakes were found In the
possession Of tho accused. A juryman,
when asked how he could accede to such
q verdict. justified his action on the
ground that 1t was no harm to steal
from u thief"
