Of Railroad Telegraphers-No
Record Of Messages.

graph company has been robbed of
an amount estimated at several
hundred thousand dollars, according
to a statement made last night by
an official of the company, who is in
charge of the investigation.
Complaints made in several in
stances that messages filed at GER
tain stations had not been sent or
delivered and the falling off in re-
ceipts at other places on the rail-
road lines, caused the officials to in
stitute thorough investigation. A
direct service was organized and 1t
was discovered that in some instan-
ces co per cent OF the money receiv-
ed for messages filed at railroad Of
fees never reached the telegraph
company. The kilograms, with but
few exceptions were properly trans
mitted and delivered, but all records
of these dispatches, SO far as reports
and bookkeeping pertained, had
been destroyed.
Following the discovery of the
theft and the accumulation of proof
warrants were obtained for the ar
rest of several operators in the state
OF Washington and 1t ID alleged By
the officials of the company that at
least one of the arrested men has
confessed.
