In the middle of the summer tn
officials OF the Chicago Great Wester,
received reports from Graft, Durang
and other points to the north on the
line, that telegraph wires had been Gu
by an unknown person. 1t was
thought the work was done by some
one who had a grievance against the
company. Officers were detailed to In.
vestigate the work, and while they
were seeking to obtain information
concerning the deeds, the report was
received at Superintendent Stapleton's
office that the wires Of the Milwaukee
road at Flndley's Landing, few
miles north Of Dubuque, had been cut.
There were three together. and two
were slashed. The Milwaukee special
officers took up the case, and while
they were busily engaged seeking facts
of the crime, the Great Western sui
fered more.
A few days passed without any cut
ting, and the detectives thought the
fox had left the trail, when there were
reports from Milwaukee stations south
Of Dubuque that the wires had been
cut. The officers had hardly taken up
the scent when the Illinois Central Of
ficials heard of wires being cut on thei
line. The Western Union Telegraph
Company brought special officers hero
In the hopes of running to earth the
mysterious wire cutter.
From one part Of this vicinity to the
other reports were received of the
mischievouswork The officers put
their heads ssssether and decided that
an organized ss.sg was doing the work.
The wire cutting dropped off some
what and the officers concluded the
gang had been broken.
There was only one clue to work on,
and being the only one the many Of
lenses were marked up against one.
The work was done with three cor
nered file. The same clean job that
was done at Findley's Landing was ac
complished near Cascade. The mys-
terious person or persons began work
anew about one week ago. and De-
tective Welsh took UP the case. He
had been on It only a few days when
he arrested zimmerman ut Earlville
and he was lodged in the Manchester
Jail. He was bound over to the grand
jury Monday.
Zimmerman made full breast OF
the crime to Welsh and his confession
was interesting. His explanation was
yet blood curdling. He de-
clared he was haunted by the buzz of
the wires and he couldn't. When
