for their own use by means Of fictitious
names. One of the railroad officials de
tected the scheme, sent word to head
quarters about it and three detectives
were sent to Plainfeld to investigate. Al

presented. The scare has resulted in

the Plainfield tation, for all who hole
tickets are fraid to use them for fear Q
being caught.
