Railroad Thieves Get Big Loot.

Denver.-Thieves are said to have
stolen merchandise from the Burling-
ton railroad between Denver and Chi
cago during the past year amounting
to over 100000.
The company has discovered an or
ganized gang of Italians engaged in
the pilfering and has discharged 300 Of
them.
The big conspiracy was unearthed
only after months of continuous work,
by the best secret service men in the
country. II Is believed the operations
OF the gang have extended to other
roads.
Secret service men in the employ o.
the Burlington railroad after months
of work have succeeded in ferreting out
the system by which that company has
been continually robbed during the
past year. Over 300 Italian laborers
engaged in track work between Denver
and Chicago have been discovered to
belong to gang which had perfected
system for steS ing merchandise
from the freight trains on that road
and it is said the gang had succeeded
in stealing over 100000 worth of mer-
chandise during the past year. Sufi-
cient evidence could not be obtained
against the men to convict and the
company took the next best step to pro
tect itself and discharged these men.

get a good look at the men and can

was returning home from town when
he encountered the burglars.
For the last three weeks northern
Colorado towns have been troubled

1t is within the possibilities that
