of the secret service department of the
Union Pacific believe that they have
broken up a gang that has been robbing

station. After the train started and had
reached a point some distance from town
the parties in the car would throw out
boxes of merchandise at. or near places
agreed upon and then get out of the car
and off the train at the next stop. Sub
sequently. with a team. the confederates
would drive alonside OF the track and
gather up the stolen goods
search of the homes of the men ar
rested at North Bend. IT is asserted. dis
closed the presence OF large quantity
Of canned goods and other merchandise,
much of Il in the original boxes and
cases when shipments from Omaha were
made.
