Government Detectives T0in in the
Hunt for the Burglars.
Yesterday passed without bringing any
information bearing upon the postoffice
burglary, though the air was filled with
rumors of more or less sensational char
acter. United States Inspectors Kidder
and Barrett Of Chicago, accompanied by
two government GetectsveS, arrived yeSter-
Gay and were put in possession OF all the
facts i'll the case, after which they went to
work upon it. They rejected at once the
idea that the burglars were the men seen by
Goodwin and Steam. holding the work to
have been professional and the alleged dis
play of tools and weapons to have heen
highly unprofessional. 1t was believed yes
terday that the Doodle has been
planted in Minneapolis and the delivery
horse and wagon sent to st. Paul as q blind,
because a teamster met the horse, which
was driven by boy who afterwafd turned
the animal loose. The detectives are work
ing up strawS, after which they will COM
pare notes and agree upon a plan of action.
Mr. Laraway takes the loss very philoSo-
phically, believing the government will
never expect him to make it good under
the circumstances. His bondSnen are w.
ID. WaShburn, Fl. G. Side and j. Il.
Thompson, and his bond about $50, 900, so
there is do trouble on that score. He is
blamed by many for not having watch
man On the premises with so much money
stored away, while others hold the govern
ment to blame because he is not allowed
for a watckman's pay, and is furnished
safes i'll which he is expected to keep the
valuableS.
IN ST. PAUL.
According to what is learned by the St.
Paul police, two men, one answering the
description of one of the burglars. called at
the livery stable of i. W. Bates. st. Paul,
On Fifth street between Minnesota and
Robert, at o'clock Friday morning, and
hired horse and red wagon with the adj.
of the Boston One Price Clothing House"
upon it. Representing that they wanted to
take some provisions to Bass lake, they
paid SIS and drove of, They drove to
Robert street and up that street, after which
they were never seen, although the
stable at O'Clock Mr. Bates says it re-
Brady Lewis, who hitched up the horse,
thinks he could Identify the man who paid
him the money. 1t is supposed that these
were the burglars and that they drove
around to the depot and took the ''1ying
dutchman" on the Milwaukee road. Post
Office Inspectors Kidder and Bassett, who
were in st. Paul yesterday afternoon say
the work of opening the safe was similar to
that in the Mt. Pleasant Ia, robbery. and
they believe the parties to be the same.
The only additional clue that the detect
ives have obtained, as far as known. is the
finding yesterday afternoon by Detective
John Hoy of the tools with which the safe
was entered. The kit is entirely new and
Over pound of powder in flask was also
with the outfit, which shows that the safe
was to have been blown open if the tools
did not suffice to give an entrance. The
detectives refuse to say where the plant
was found
