BOLD THIEVES MAKE HAUL
FROM ARLINGTON DEPOT,
Sheets of Copper Carried Away
on PuShsCar.

One of the boldest freight robberies
committed or the railroads in West
Hudson In years Is now giving the de-
tectlves of the Erie railroad a chance
to do some extra sleuthing. but al
Though the theft occurred In broad
daylight Saturday morning and the de-
tectives have followed every clue pos
sible they have not yet been able to get
a trace of the thieves.
The goods stolen consisted of several
hundred pounds of sheet copper In
rolls, and the loot was taken about IL
o'clock from a freight al on a siding
near the Arlington passenger station.
1t was put on a push car and the a
hurried along the track to Schuyler
avenue where the thieves and their
stolen goods were carried by gravity
down-grade to the point where the
Fries tracks cross the Belleville turn
pike.
At that place the thieves are believed
to have had a wagon in waiting on the
turnpike It is thought they loaded
the copper on 1t and thus spirited the
loot away to Jersey City or New York.
They took care, however, to toss the
p~ushcar down the embankment into
the swamp. where it was found shortly
before midday by Track Foreman
Frank Babcock, who has charge of the
line between West Arlington and the
Susquehanna line east of Snake Hill.
A large package of blotters sent to the
First National Bank of Arlington was
found alongside the car in the marsh
and had evidently beer taken from the
freight car in the belief that the pack
age was a valuable one.

TRYING HARD TO SETTLE
NICARAGUAN TROUBLES.
United States and Mexico Have
Been in Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, July 6.--Manifesting
an earnest desire that the Nicaraguan
troubles be terminated as speedily as
possible, there has been an important
exchange of views between the United
States and Mexico. This information
was given out at the state department
today, and the communications were
described as most cordial and inspired
by the best Of friendly relations.
The department is said to possess no
knowledge of the reported growth of
an anti-American feeling in Central
American countries, and of the appeal
by them to Mexico ad Argentina to
intervene. The fact hat a financial
agent of the Honduran gov eminent is
now in the United States negotiating
a large loan with New York bankers,
which would come before the govern
ment for its sanction before being put
into execution, is taken by the officials
here as proof Of the friendly relations
and neutral interests of the two gov
eYnments.

a number of barroom brawls and street
fights. These began soon. after the
camp was opened. and the news from
Eeno did not help the situation any.

rerience in the art of maneuvering.
