loo and was station agent for the COM
pany at Cedar Falls at the time Of his
arrest early in November. AS Sibert's
knowledge of the railways affairs is
confined largely to Waterloo and

ceiyers of rebates are liable to punish
ment as well as the railway granting
them.

bates. The railway officials here be-

or deny the report that Sibert has
confessed his guilt to the charges of
fraud against him, and admitted that
