LAKE SHORE ROBBERY.

Stolen From It

On the arrival at Toledo OF Lake Shore
train from Chicago the other night 1t was
discovered that something wrong existed
in the through express car that runs
closed and sealed between Chicago and
New York. An examination developed
the fact that the car had been entered and
that sundry packages containing valuable
merchandise had been opened by the rob
bers and an unkno quantity carried
away.
The express officials at once took steps
to cover all evidence of the crime and set
about to find clue TO the robber or rob
bers. The car had been opened in transit,
and evidently by some one who knew
more than would be accredited to an or
binary thief. Suspicion at once directed
toward certain employees, but 1T is hoped
they may be exculpated from oil blame:
