BOLD Scheme DISCOVERED
Wholesale Robbery on the Queen

Conductors and Engineers Said to Be
Concerned in the Fraud.
Fraudulent system OF Time checks-
Thirty-six Conductors and Engineers

Their Plans We're Deeply Laid

LEXINGTON, KY, july 5.A whole
sale robbery was discovered on the
Queen and Crescent here Tuesday night
and on good information it is stated
that thirty-six conductors and engi-
neers are in the scheme. The stealing
has been going on for some time and
the plans Of operations are deeply laid.
The conductors and engineers would
issue fraudulent time checks which the
time keeper, who was in on the deal,
would accept and 20 *, thus allowing
the money To be drawn on them for
services never rendered. The time
keeper wanted more than his share OF
the money, and in this way. mis-
understanding took place that led
ID the discovery Of the scheme. One
Of the conductors did not like the time
keepers felfishness and reported the
whole affair to the officers Of the road
The time keeper was ordered TO report
to headquarters, but he had left for
parts unknown This occurred several
days ago, but the facts only leaked out
Tuesday night The road Is said 10

General Manager Carroll was seen IN

The system employed to defraud the
road was a bungling one, and yet il
could3not be detected unless some one
connected with the scheme gave il
away. In some instances il has been
found that a man would be given credit
for any number Of trips, MS high as for.

not made a half a dozen Conductors
with their false credits would go to the

outside the company; but such an
