COAL RUSTLERS.
HOW THE UNION PACIFIC WAS m
DUCED TO CUT RATES.
Coal Stealing Has Been Reduced to
II Science in Nebraska, and is
Conducted on a Wholesale Plan.

Omaha, Feb. 15.-The Union Pacific
has reduced the freight on coal 81 per
ton in Nebraska from its Wyoming
mines, in order that the drouth suffer-
ers in the western counties may be
better enabled to purchase fuel. The
work of coal thieves was factor in
having the rate reduced Between
Kearney and Omaha five cars of coal
are lost to the company daily, and at
Valley, q coahng station on the Union
Pacific containing at least 200 souls, but
five cars of coal were retained last
season, and yet everybody kept warm
and had coal in their bins. Coming
last evening from Juiesburg thirteen
wagons loaded with coal were counted
in a distance Of twenty-five miles,
these wagons being loaded with coal
which had been thrown off the cars
while in transit between Julesburg and
Brule. In fact, this coal stealing has
become business. and SO expert have
the rustlers become that conviction
is next TO impossible. A rustler gets on a
coal train, say at Julesburg. and during
the night throws off coal along the
road, which is picked up by teams be-
tween certain stations agreed upon.
The trainmen make but little objection
to a rustler. throwing off coal, even
should they catch him in the act, for
| they realize that many family is
kept from freezing by the coal picked
up along the roadway,

George G. Vest, upon the financial
