A THRILLING DETECTIVE STORY.
The Exploits OF Two Government Sleuths
Told I'm a Public Document.

Told In n Public Document.
The government publishes a great
variety of matter in the course of a
year, from presidential messages to q
history of diseases of the gadfy, and
the variety of reading matter has been
increased within the last few days by
the publication of n real detective
story, with diagrams according to
GaDOriau.
This is the history of the sandbagging
and robbery of n stamp clerk in the
Chicago post Office one dark night last
winter, when the wind was whistling
around the corner and the slcet dash
ing against the windows. The story OF
the crime and the vain search of the
two government slcuths for the Grim
inal are given at great length and in
the minutest detail. All of this is con-
tanned in pamphlet of eleven pages,
accompanying Il claim of the late post
master for the amount of the robbery,
which he was compelled to make good.
There are n number of diagrams to
illustrate the story. One of them
shows where the body of the clerk
was found" ''thc door where Miss
Jones came in" 1.-The window where
the robbcr escaped" "the door where
the robber entered" and other minute
details. Another diagram shows the
postal clerk as he stood at his desk, but
fails to represent the robber and the
sandbag, although everything else,
even to Miss Jones desk, is portrayed
wildly.
Many pages of closely-printed type
arc filled with the history of the efforts
of the government slcuths.
''Therc were two theories to work
upon," writes one of them: ''First, that
Robinson had robbed himself and in
licted upon himself the injuries to
cover up his crime, or that some one
familiar with the office and with the
habits of Mr.. Robinson had planned
and successfully put in execution the
robbery. | called to my assistance the
superintendent of the Pinllcrton agen-
cy of this city, who rendered me every
assistance in his power, without cost,
to get some Glow to the perpetrators of
the bold robbery. We have worked
upon every plausible theory, but have
failed to get any clew to lead us on
successful trail"
The outcome of the work on these
two theories is reported as follows:
'"Thc result of the investigation in
this case has convinced me of two
things: First, that it was bona fide
robbery; second, that it was conceived
and planned, if not perpetrated, by
some one perfectly familiar with the
workings OF that branch of the postal
department in this city, but the plan
was so we'll cXocutc1 that I'm IN tho
present moment we have been unable
to get single clew that would fasten
the guilty party"
So the robbery remains a mystery,
anHthc thrilling story of the two gov
eminent slcuths goes on file in the an
nails of congress.

From the 81 Louis Globe-Democrat.
one day "A lot Of rustlers and all
round thieves and cutthroats rode into
mining town I'm Arizona and pro-
Cecdcd to have fun. They rode up and
down the main street, firing right and
left until they scared everybody in
doors Then they went into the prln-
cipal saloon Of the place for liquor. Jim
Dupree happened to be I'm the saloon
at the time, and, as usual, had no gun
with him. and as he was the freshest
looking duck they had seen for many
a day, they started i'm to have fun with
him The leader of the gang was a
rufian they called Long Haired Pete.
As soon as he saw Dupree he pulled
his gun and sent "A bullet through the
floor right between Jim's feet.
Give us a dance. and be - lively
about it," shouted Pete. while his gang
gathered around to see the fun.
Jim got up without a word and start
ed In to dancing regular Kentucky
breakdown. Those fellows thought he
was scared almost to death. lie danced
around i'm n circle and as he came IN
font Of the leader of the gang his
foot suddenly shot up and caught
Iong-Haircd Pete squarely under the
chin. The rufIian measured his length
on the floor.
Quick as a fash Jim leaped forward
ana SNdtGnt1 the Two pistols carried
by the leader Of the gang. Then. with
smile as innocent as boy. he
covered the gang and told them all
To dance.
They hesitatcd for a moment. Then
Tim sent bullet through the toe OF
Pete's boot and another through the
hat Of Lon Spivey. member Of the
gang. They danced then. and at the
first sign Of "A let-up Jim would shoot
"A button off the mans coat or clip off a
lock Of long hair with a bullet
without taking his eyes off the gang.
Jim told the barkeeper To send out and
get all tho boys 10 come in and see the
fun. They all came quickly enough and
Jim kept that gang of outlaws there
dancing until some OF them dropped to
the floor exhausted.
Then he made every man Of them
hand over his gun To- the barkeeper
after which he ordered drinks for the
crowd. when the fun was over h
told pete 10 take his gang and get
out Of the territory as fast as possible
and never come back. That gang rode
out Of town the sickest looking lot II
tough men l ever saw. and that was
t. last ever seen Of them in that part
Of the country.

institutions Of New York have thus
been prompted to institute rigid in
vestigation in TO the matter. and some
:, nsational developments are on the
eve Of disclosure. The fact is that the
trade in corpses has been permitted To
flourish in altogether too unlicensed a
manner New York offers special facil-
tiles for these grewsome operations.
Where there are so many people there
are naturally many deaths. and where
there are 50 many poor and so many
suicides there result many unclaimed
corpses. Now n certain class of trad
crs in the bodies Of the dead take adj
vantage of these circumstances. and
any man is able, through evasion of
loosely enforced regulations. to owr
some corpse or other. 1t is said that
