CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Five daring highway
men held up the United States mail wagon
and atrsvolver point forced the driver
to throw out several sacks. The wagon
was then sent on its journey, the driver
being threatened with instant death if he
made outcry or stopped So complete was
the surprise effected by the banditti that
the driver failed to utilize the services of a
large bull dog beside him on the seat. Near
midnight the stolen mail sacks, slit
open and rifed of their contents,
were found on Superior street,
in the north division of the city.
fully three miles from the scene of the rob
berry. Atthat hour every available man Of
the city detective force and postotfice in
spector's staff were out endeayorng to OBJ
tain clue to the identity of the highway
men or their whereabouts. The wagon was
on its way TO the main postohice with the
mail from the stock yards and the south
Blue Island avenue to Haistead street and
then turned east. He was half way to
Dasnlaines street when Eve men sprang
from the sidewalk. k. One seized the horses

then led to an alley and while one Of the
men kept Creighton covered the Others
forced open the door of the wagon and
hastily selecting the registry pouches from
the others made off through the alley.
Creighton's guard kept him covered for five
minutes and then left him.
n Thoroughly frightened. the driver drove
as rapidly as possible to the main postotfice,
where he reported the affair. An inventory
was made Of the contents OF the wagon and
it was found that two registered mail
pouches from the Stock Yards station and
that from the Blue Island station were
missing. The value of the contents the
officials; were unable to determine, but it is
known to be very heavy.
