G. P. Weurick, a travelling salesman
for Toledo, o., house. came here last
evening and put up at the Orange ho-
tel. Shortly after his arrival he went
to the tailor shop to have his coat re-
paired and while they were repairing
the garment he removed his credential
book from his coat pocket and placed
it in his hip pocket and returned to
the hotel. While enroute to the hotel
he either dropped the book or it was
stolen from him. The credential book,
besides containing credentials to the
amount of 50 contained $50 in curren-
cy. He at once put the police on the
track and thoro search was made
of the ground over which he had pass
ed as we'll as the hotel Office and clos
ct, but not trace of the book was
found. Later the book and the Gre
dentials were found in the closet, but
the currency was gone. Suspicion
pointed to travelling man, who trav-

been in the closet a short time before
the book was found. and he was search

tho $40 in currency was
found on him he could not be held as
he showed positively how he came by

porter was then searched at the sug-
gestion of the man who was under
suspicion, but he lacked about $29.50
of having that much money, so he was
also released and the search was aban.

Local railroad men are surprised to
hear the news today of the practical
leasing by ]. j. Hill of the Burlington
road as contained in Chicago dis
patches. No one in this city who is
interested in the Burlington had heard
anything of the change which, it is
said, is about to take place, and the
report was discredited. The theory,
however, seems to be somewhat borne
out by facts. A Chicago paper, claim
ing to have inside information on the
matter, has the following to say:
THE Burlington road has passed
practically into the hands of J. ]. Hill.
This information comes from an au-
thoritative source. Arrangements are
about completed whereby the Burling-
ton system is to be leased to the Gre At
Northern and Northern Pacific COM
panies, the latter guaranteeing z PER

stock.

Rapid Advance in Stock.
"The rapid advance in Burlington
stock during the last two weeks, and
the additional jump of six points Sat
urday, made it certain that something
of an extraordinary nature was in the
wind. Few people, however, had any
idea that Mr.. Hill was trying to get
control of the property, and special
stress was laid upon the assertion that
neither Mr.. Hill nor any of his brok-
ers We're buying Burlington stock.
Mr.. Hill has been in New York FOR
more than a week in connection with
this deal, but so secretly were the me-
gotiations conducted that the an
nouncement Of his acquiring control
comes as surprise. When asked in
New York few days ago whether he
was trying to secure control of the
Burlington he stated most emphatic
ally that he did not own, and was not
buying share Of the stock This re-
moved all suspicion. and the conclu-
sion was jumped at that the Pennsyl-
vania company was buying Burlington
stock and causing it's phenomenal rise.
