On Thursday night trunk was pnt
off the west bound train and when night
operator Mahonev went out to take it
into the baggage room it was missing.
He heard suspicious noise emanating
from the narrow space between the lime
houses, north of the water tank, and
single handed he proceeded to investi-
gate. He found three men hammering
away at the lock of the trunk. and he
tackled the trio. On, of them struck
him in the neck, when Mahoney thrust
his hand to his hip pocket, threatening
to shoot, when all three took to their
heels. Unfortunately the pocket was
empty, or he would have succeeded in
capturing one or more OF them. He
picked up the trunk and carried it into
the station. Next day a suspicious
character was arrested by Officer Par
ker, but could not be Identified by Mr..
Mahoney. as it was very dark between
the buildings where he dropped upon
them Detectives of the road came 2up
from st. Paul to investigate the matter,
but TO no purpose, The suspect, who
was evidently innocent, was discharged.
The stolen trunk belonged to travel
ing man, and wss filled with samples of
perfumery, etc. ofno particular value to
any one hut the owner. It is believed
the thieves thought it a jeweley sample
case, which it greatly resembled.
