ROBBED RAILROADS.
A CLEVER BIT OF DETECTIVE
WORK IN CHICAGO.
Men Who Have Caused the Railroads
Much Financial and other Trouble
Are Now in Custody.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-By a clever bit of
detective work, three men who are ac-
cused of having robbed the railroad
companies running out of Chicago of
thousands of dollars worth of mer-
chandise, were this afternoon locked up
at the central police station. The men
are w. T. Johnson, G. W. Parker and
j. c. Miller
|. During the past year nearly every
railroad company in Chicago has been
victimized. Special agents of the var
ious roads and detectives from police
headquarters have eXerted every eff
fort to discover the gang of robbers,
but without success until today. Ship
ping cases We're found empty in the
plundered cars, but although watch
men were placed along the tracks in
great number, none of the missing
goods were found
Last Friday afternoon a car load of
merchandise was shipped over the Chi
cago q Northwestern road from Chi
cago to Omaha. Among it's contents
were eight cases of shoes. The car ar
rived in Omaha Sunday morning, and
the seals on the side and rear doors
were found in excellent shape EN-
ployees of the company broke the seals
and began unloading the car to trans
fer the freight. The eight cases which
contained the shoes were found nailed
up III proper shape, but all were empty.
An investigation followed and it was
discovered that d hole AXIS inches had
been sawed in the floor of the car. The
police on Monday learned that a box
had been shipped from Omaha to Chi
cago in care of a storage house, and
they obtained permission from the
manager of the warehouse to open the
box, and in it We're found the eight
cases of shoes, valued at $500, stolen
from the Northwestern freight car en-
route to Omaha. They found more.
They found that the interior of the big
packing case had been so fitted UP that
a man could live comfortably in it for
an indefinite time. They waited seve-
raj hours, but finally two men walked
into the alley in the rear of the ware
horse. After satisfying themselves
that no one was in sight the two men
entered the warehouse through q. rear
door and inquired for the box. It was
shown them, and they at once began
the work of unpacking it. While they
were doing so the detectives arrested
them. They proved to be johnson and
Parker. They confessed, and impIi-
Gated Miller, who was also arrested.
