THE WABASH LOSES HEAVILY.

Operations of Thieves, It Is Said, Will Cost the Company About 8200,000. Kansas CiTir. Mo., Feb. 14.— The Wabash Railroad company is out about $200,000 by steals within the last few months. Chief Detective Furlong, ot the Wabash system, was put upon the job, and while he has been enabled to trace the greater part of the pilfering to the divisions in Missouri he has not yet located all the thieves. The period embraced in this stealing will cover nearly a year, but during the last two or three months the thefts have increased to a large extent, and it was this increase that called the officials’ attention to the fact that they were being robbed, and that, too, systematically. It is expected that sensational arrests will soon be made.
