assembled at the Pennsylvania station
long before the train arrived and 1t
required the efforts Of a considerable
force of police to keep the approaches
clear to the station. There was good
deal of disappointment expressed among
these people over the absence of mill
tary in the escort but 1t was by special
request Of the president-elect that such

J had little to do in this direction, thanks
I to the well-arranged programme OF the

The president -elect appeared to be in
! the best Of spirits, and those who gazed

remarked by the on-lookers that he was
certainly stouter and of better COM

peared to advantage. She was attired
in a dark travelling garb and happiness

stood near, the party formed line and
started through the station. Messrs

YOUTHFUL PosToFFIcE ROBBERS.
Marinette Boys Arrested Who Admit
Their Guilt.

Their Guilt.
Marinette Wis, March 3.-Guy Nor
ris. William Loveless and Selma Cooke,
boys about 16 years of age, were ar
rested here by Sheriff Hitchon. charged
with robbing the United States mail.
They admitted their guilt. They en-
tered the postoffice from the front door,
which was open, and while the postal
employees were all away climbed over
the partition of boxes. They secured
about forty letters from various boxes.
These they afterward opened and then
showed down a sewer manhole. 1t is
known that there were $2,450 In two or
the letters addressed to the Marinette
Bow company in the form OF checks.
The boys refuse to say how mucn
money there was in the other letters,
but 1t is supposed that the amounts
were quite heavy and the aggregate
money stolen may be over $4,000. The
postoffice inspector has been wired and
a thorough investigation will be con-
Quoted. The robbery may prove more
extensive than now known. as the boys
may have been doing this work for some
| time past. 1t was only by accident that
| the robbery was discovered. Two or the
! bows are sons of respectable citizens.
