Show THE BITERS BITTEN. Chicago Board of Trade Operators Done up by a Jay Postmaster Out in Iowa. Chicago, Nov. 10. A dozen or more board of trade firms assert that they have been fleeced out of sums ranging from $500 to H00 each by Sidney L. Wither who, until recently, was postmaster at Woodbine, la., but who is now said to be fleeing from the detectives. The fraud, according to the story circulated on the board, was accomplished accom-plished by means of forged bills of lading, which were not suspected until discovered by the general claim agent of the Northwestern North-western road. It is thought that the total of his stealings will exceed $60,000. |
