After Nearly a Year Missing Bar of
Copper ia Found by Accident.
On May 6, 1906, a freight car con-
taining 318 bars of copper, weighing
26 pounds to the bar, left Omaha, Ne-
braska, consigned by the American
Smelting and Refining Company to
Greggenheisser & Sons Co, of New
York city. The copper was shipped
over the Northwestern Rallroad Com- |
pany's line In car No. 81.644 and was |
delivered Ly that road to the Wabash
line at Chicago. The latter road In
turn delivered it to the Lehigh Valley
at Niagara Falls, N. ¥., but when the
car reached Manchester the conductor
of the train noticed that the seal had |
been broken, It was discovered later
that one of the bars of copper,
at $13.62, was missing. The car was
accordingly traced from Omaha i
the time that it was delivered into the |
hands. of the Lehigh and it was learn- |
ed to a certainity that the seal had |
not been broken until after it left Nia- |
gara Falls. It being up to the Lehigh
officials to make good the loss an ef- |
fort was made to locate the missing |
bar. Special pfficers along the enlire
system were given Instructions to use
every means available to locate the
lost copper. Stacks of correspondence
relative to it accumulated in the lo-
cal offices but until gulte recently not
a single clue could be obtained as to
its wherebouts.
The other day T. B. Shaffer, the lo-
cal chief of the special officers’ bu-
reau, was talking to a car repalrer
in West Sayre, and accidentally the |
subject turned to the missing copper |
“Why, 1 found a large pleee of cop- |
per under some boards in a Lehigh |
car the other day.” sald the car re-
pairer,” and it appears to answer the
description of the missing bar”
The special officer was taken to the |
car, and there under the boards, as de- |
geribed by the car repalrer, was the
identical copper bar, which had evi- |
dently been taken from the car into |
which it had been consigned into the |
one in which it was found by a thief |
who probably expected to secure pos-
session of it later
The missing bar has cost the Lehigh
Valley in the |
efforts of the company to locate it
valued
to |
several times its value
