ACTION TAKEN
BY OFFICIALS
THEFT OF 500 TONS OF COAL
FROM RAILROADS HERE IN
LESS THAN THREE MONTHS
DRASTIC COURT ACTION
NO MORE JAIL SENTENCES FOR
COAL CONVICTED
PERSONS MUST WORK
OUT FINES AND COSTS

With trip to the Columbus work
house with explicit instructions that
they must be worked, facing all future
convicted coal thieves in London and
Madison county, officials here expect
to shortly break up a gang of organ
lied coal thieves that has stolen 500
tons Of coal from the Big Four and
Pennsylvania railroads in London
alone in the past 60 days.
Twelve men and boys have been ar
rested and fined for stealing and SELL
ing coal and the names of Sc men and
women have been secured by Big -Four
detectives for. investigation.
Captain L. E. Christian and Ser
geant E. C. Reed, of Springfield, heads
Of the Big -Four police force in this
district estimate the coal stolen
in London from the Big Four railroad
since January /, to be worth more than
$4,000.
The coal has been taken from the
cars by an organized gang, the ,detec-
tives contend and many cars have been
completely "unloaded" overnight.
The coal, the officers state, has been
stolen fer home use and for sale to
other parties, some of the coal stolen
in London being hauled to cities and
towns in other counties and sold for
as little as 50-cents a ton.
Through the cooperation of the
Madison county board of commission
ers and Sheriff j. A. Maxwell, an or
der has been posted which instructs all
mayors and justices of the peace in
the county to send all convicted coal
thieves to the workhouse and not to
the county Jail, as has been done in
the past. .
1t is expected that this action will
put damper on the activities of the
coal stealing operators.
Captain Christian states that the
coal claims paid in 1882 by his divi-
sion of the Big Four totalled $15,914
which represented stolen coal during
the year.
