Thieving Railroad Men.
CONSPIRACY TO swINDLE THE UNION PACIFIC COM


A telegram from Denver, Co.. Sept. 20, says:
interesting revelations Of a conspiracy between
certain employees OF the Union Pacific Railway to
swindle that company are coming to light. Some
time ago the Union Pacific began series OF In.
vestigations which resulted In the retirement of
rev trainmen and men otherwise employed. In
formation now obtained shows that a conspiracy
for systematic robbery has been discovered upon
one OF the Colorado mes, In which employees Of
long standing are Implicated. 1t is claimed by the
dScovererS That one or the agents has pocketed the
proceeds OF 200 cars or coal within the last by
making false returns TO the company, reporting IL
as used on locomotives or having been sold to Gus
toners. OverweighlS were charged or part or the
weight kept back and the amount representing
the surplus pocketed by the agents. 1t is Also
stated that conductors and agents nave been en-
gagged In conspiracy TO steal tickets As many
us sixteen tickets have been held out by one con-
ductor on one trip and returned to the station
agent again, placed on file, and the procec ds d.
Vlded between conductor and agent. The tickets
when taken up were returned TO the agent IN
punched. II Is reported that one or the agents
has been carrying on this business for per cd OF
a year, and the evidence now In the possession of
the United States marshal Is sufficient to send HIM
10 the penitent1ary. The reason that the mater
has been placed In the hands OF the Government
officers Is because the Union Pacific Is an inter-
state railway. The cases will 90 into The United
states courts.
