and Rutland railroad, has for the last
u years been Systematically swindling

As roadmaster Mr.. Coomar did all the
purchr sing of ties for the company's
use, he having orders to buy all that
could be delivered on the line of the
road.
Officers of the company decline to be
interviewed on the subject, saying the
company has no claims upon him and
no complaint to make, but it is under
stood that Mr.. Coomar has paid back
to the company about $4,000, mostly
in cash and mortgages in this village
to make good the swindles that he had
perpetrated against it.
The principal means used by Mr.
Coomar was in the purchase of ties. II
was his Custom at the end OF eact
month to hand in bills for ties purchas
ed during that time. For each person
the bills were made separately. These
he would approve and after passing
through the hands of different officials
checks would be sent to the differen
agents to, hand to the parties they wer'
made out for. Mr.. Coomar in few
days would come to the agent, ask hin
if he had check for such person
and on being told that he had, woalc
get the check under the pretense tina
he had advanced money, and that tn
man lived some distance from the road
and that he would get his Endorsement
In a few days he would return with tn
check properly Endorsed and draw tn
money fromsthe agent or bank. ii
was we'll known and no questions wer
asked.
Suspicion was finally aroused againS
him and an investigation by the oaic
ais was the result.

names and bills that had been pait
and the sum total is set much aboy
$4,000.
