to him throughout the state. Stanton

The defeat of James McLachlan, in
cumbent republican congressman from
the seventh district, by Stephens, in
surgent, is conceded. stephens es-
timated plurality is 1000. For a time
today it appeared as if Congressman
Smith of the eighth district might also
have a close call with Kirby, the San
Diego 'insurgent." but returns from
San Bernardino. Riverside and Orange
counties brought up Smiths total and
overcame Kirbys lead. Smith said to-
night that his majority outside of Inyo

EMPLOYEES LOOT
BURLINGTON Line
Hundreds of Thousands Stolen
by Gigantic Combine of
RailrOadmen

OMAHA, Aug. IA big sensation is
brewing in Burlington road circles due
TO the discovery which has just been
made that through systematic ar
rangement between a number of con-
>ductors. trainmen, ticket sellers and
others, the road has been defrauded
out of probably hundreds of thousands
OF dollars.
The scheme is supposed TO extend
over the entire western system of the
Burlington and that the officials have
secured all the evidence necessary is
showd by the summary discharge yes
terday Of half dozen conductors and
one train agent on the Omaha divi-
sion of the road.
Burlington officials in Omaha refuse
to discuss the situation, but from
lower sources the extent and scope of
the gang which is looting the road, is
made known. For months the secret
service officers of the Burlington. as
sisted by number of Pinkerton de-
tectives. have been working on the
case and are now supposed 10 be in
command of the situation
The plan of operating was most
simple and easy. The crooked ticket
agent would sell a ticket for certain
train, give the number of the ticket to
Nie cohuuctor OF tndl train, VINO, IN
stead OF punching the pasteboard.
would return it to the ticket agent
without making a report to the com
pany. The agent would place the ticket
on sale again and divide with the con-
ductor. 1t is said the receipts on some
divisions fell so low that an investi ga
ton was started and the scheme dis
covered
For months every passenger board
ing trains has been numbered and the
ticket sales checked with the secret
reports Spoilers have purchased
tickets, kept a memorandum of the
number, and reports show that in GER
tain cases the same ticket has been
sold TO half dozen different detect
ives. Many other discharges are said
to be slated and a thorough cleaning
out of the guilty railroaders is to
follow.
