OSTERMANN'S VARIED CAREER

The case of II. C. Ostermann, who
was the genius of the graft scheme by
which the Illinois Central railroad
was robbed OF 100000 Is interest
ing. Ostermann related his life story
in Chicago a few days ago while
while on the witness stand.
Ostermann began life as a newsboy
AT the tender age Of six years he was
selling papers for living. AT nine
he quit selling them to become a bell
boy in New York hotel. He stayed
with the hotel three years and then
was by turns cash boy. a telegraph
messenger boy and clerk in a cigar
store. At fourteen he enlisted in the
United States navy and served three
wears. Subsequently he picked o.
anges and did odd jobs in California
and worked for some time as sailor
on steamships which piled between
San Francisco and Panama. At one
time he was employed on a ranch In
Montana and for a while he was a
performer in Wild West show. He
frequently worked as day laborer
and once was employed on the Great
Northern railroad as section hand
In 1896 he got job as brakeman on
the Illinois Central. He worked MS
way up to conductor and while thus
engaged invented grain car. That
gave him the car building idea and
thus came about the repairing plan,
which was so fertile in graft.
Newspaper reports OF the investi'
CATION in Chicago have told of Oster-
mann's methods and how Illinois Cen
trail officials of high repute made sac
rifice OF their regulations and pros
poets in order to secure some of the
dishonest money which Ostermann
tempting1y placed before them. The
scheme was exposed after Ostermann
and his associates had robbed the rail-
road company of some 100000 of its
earnings ourier-Journal
