Union Pacific Breaks Up Gang Of
BOxcar Thieves.
TRAINMEN UNDER ARREST
LARGE QUANTITY. OF STOLEN
GOODS RECOVERED.
Especial to The Herald.)

HHEYENNE. Wye, Feb. 2-Detec-
tive Tom T.. Keliher of the Union
Pacific secret service, aided by De-
tective A. D. Mcneil of the Cheyenne
police force has broken up one of the
worst gangs of box car thieves that
ever operated in the west. Seven men,
bers of the gang are now under ar
rest and the detectives are hot on the
trail of eight others. The thieves are
believed to be members Of the same
gang that operated successfully for a
number of years on the Chicago &
Northwestern road out of Chicago, and
Information is coming to light showing
they may have operated on other
roads.
Scene Of Operations.
The operations of those now under
arrest here We're confined to what is
known as the Fourth district of the
Union Pacific, or that portion of the
road lying between Sidney, Neb., and
Cheyenne. About three months ago
merchants at points west of Cheyenne
began to file complaints with the rail-
road company that their goods had
been pilfered en- route, and in many
cases the loss of entire shipments of
clothing, jewelry, shoes, hardware, etc.
were reported. Detectives were placed
on the cases, but not until a few weeks
ago did they locate the scene of opera
tons between Sidney and Cheyenne.
Confessed While Drunk.
At that time a number of trainmen
running between the two points got
beastly drunk at Sidney. One of their
number admitted that the whisky was
obtained from a shipment, and he told
how the liquor had been secured by
boring holes in the barrels and catch
ing the whisky in pals. This discov-
cry furnished q clue and it was not
long until the officers had strong evil
dence against over a dozen trainmen,
conductors and brakemen, connecting
them with the thefts of goods of the
past three months.
Trainmen In Jail.
The homes of some of the men here
in Cheyenne were searched and a large
quantity of stolen goods recovered. The
first arrests were made Friday morning
by Officers Mcneil and Keliher, when
Conductor Austin and Brakemen Cos
tello, Drake and Ferris were lodged in
jail. Drake was taken at Sidney and
the others here. Brakeman Mcdonald,
who is said to be the leader of the
gang, is in hiding somewhere between
Cheyenne and Denver, but the officers
believe they viii get him. Two of the
men are married, Drake being a bene-
dict of less than three months. Austin
is the other married man.
Other arrests will be made in a few
days. Goods to the amount of about
$1,000 were stolen by the gang.

WILL NOT STRIKE.
Short Line Shopmen Are Satisfied
and Have No Grievance.

The strike scare has practically
blown over so far as the Short Line is
concerned. The men viii not go out.
One of the machinists said yesterday:
I'VE are not interested in the Omaha
men excepting in an indirect way. Sup
port is given them financially. and I
think that is all they can expect of US.
The men here have no complaint, and
if they went out it would be simply as
a matter of sympathy. Nothing would
be accomplished by such an action.
There are in every field of employment
men who are always ready to go out,
but here they are not ~ the majority.
These men are ready to strike on the
slightest provocation. They are always
on the lookout for a chance of this
kind. It is not because they have any
grievance. but because they like to keep
things stirred up. Such men injure in
stead of help the cause of labor
General superintendent Calvin was
seen yesterday and said he believed the
men were satisfied. His trip north, ne
stated, was in reference to quite an
other matter.

DECLARES SALE VALID.
Decision Regarding Property Rem
dered by Judge Marshall.

Judge Marshall has handed down a
decision in the case of William E. Will
hanson ct al. versus Prudence Boards
ley. The suit has been in the courts
for some time and grows out of the
question of the validity of a sale of
property. Jonathan NJ. Williamson
died in 1888. The bulk of his property
was left to his wife, and Joseph r.
Walker and Boyd Park were appointed
executors. Walker resigned several
months later, and while the resigna-
ton was never formally accepted, Park
continued to act alone. He secured an
order of $40 per month as a family al
lOwance, and made a petition for the
sale Of some property belonging to tie
estate.
Mrs. Williamson died in 1897, and a
decree was sought setting aside the
sale, which was claimed to be void in
asmuch as the negotiations. were made
through one executor without the con-
sent of the other. A demurrer was en-
tered by the defendant, and this is
sustained in the decision of the court
which makes the sale valid.
