AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
IS THE LOSER.
Alleged that $4,000 Given to
1t for Transportation Has Been
Stolen-Norway's Wrath Aroused
by Actions of Sweden.
Rumor OF a Big Robbery.

ItutnOr OF n big Robbery.
a report was current in New York City
Thursday that the American Express
Company was robbed Wednesday of
$4,000 given it for transportation. The
money is said to have beef taken from a
through western express while the train
was being made up in the yards. The
officers of the company refuse totalk of the
matter. The western express, which
usually consists of eleven cars ana carries
nothing except express matter, goes
through to Chicago, dropping off cars
at intermediate points. Large sums of
money are frequently carried out on this
train.
The story is denied, but it has been
learned, however, that a detective agency
had reported Clark Braden, jr., a night
clerk in a branch office of the American
Express Company, had stolen five $1,000
bonds of the Consumers Gas Company of
Chicago. Besides taking $1,000 in bonds,
Braden, it is alleged, has taken $1,000 in
cash. There were $4,000 in bonds left at
the office Wednesday night which Braden
was tn turn over to the messengers for
shipment Thursday morning. When the
messengers arrived Braden, $1,000 worth
of bonds and $1,000 in cash were missing.
