HANS WAS CAUGHT
"Ha Bane a Poorly Gud Faller"
in POStOffice
BUT HE WAS TOO CURIOUS
Aud Wanted to Know the Contents of
Other Peoples LetterS.-He
IS in Jail.
BUT HE WAS TOO CURIOUS

Hans c.. Doe, one of the best known
employees of the Butte postoflice, is in Jail
on the charge of opening letters not ad-
dressed to him. The arrest was made last
night by Postal Inspector Wood, and
while being conveyed to the jail Doe vir-
tually confessed that he was guilty of the
charge.
Postmaster Irwin believes that Doe was
not guilty of the crime of robbing the
mails of money, and this belief is shared
by his friends. His inordinate curiosity
is probably responsible for his downfall.
He aspired to be a politician and wanted
to be the leader anon his people, but he
oyerstepped the bounds and as a result is
in serious rouble.
Boo has been employed in the postoffice
for four or five years. He was a faithful
employee, and had a reputation for saving
his money. He was the banker for his
fellow employees. When they needed a
few dollars they generally called On Hans,
who loaned them small amount at a
healthy rate of interest. About two
months ago, when the change Of time on
the railroads was effected, by which the
mails arrived in Butte during the night,
Boo was selected to distribute mail mat
ter. Only a short time ago suspicion was
directed to some employe Of the Office who
was in the habit of opening mail. No
money, however. was missing. A watch
was kept, but the perpetrator Guild not
be discovered. A few days ago a letter
addressed to w. NJ. Bickford from w. A.
Clark was handed to the postoffice Off
Gals. The letter bore every evidence Of
having been opened and resealed, but in a
very clumsy Suspicion wkS at
once directed to Boo.
Last evening a letter arrived from
Washington, D.. c., to Tom Flavin, secre-
tary of the local civil service commission
Doe was alone in the office. When Flavin
arrived at the office he noticed the letter
on his desk. Picking it up, he noticed a
postal card gummed to the flap side of
the envelope. Removing the postal card,
he noticed that the letter from Washing
ton had been opened and resealeu with
mucilage which had been spread on with
an u%nsparing land. Mr.. Flavin at once
sent for Inspector Wood and Doe was sent
for. He at first made a denial, but when
shown the letter he admlNud having

The body of MS. Helen Rumble OF
North Mcaderville was found frozen stif1
/ and stark just behind her home on Norta
Main street at ) o'clock this morning.
The startling discovery was made by
the woman's husband, Samuel Rumble, cl
his return from his nights labor IN The
! Colusa-Parrot mine.
The body Of the unfortunate woman
was lying face downward on the ground
behind the kitchen of her home. h
house was locked. Beside the body was
a bunch of house keys which she usually
carried when she went out.
The theory of the husband and his
friends is that early last evening Mrs.
! Rumble went out Of the house to call on
some ~ne;shbors. as she was in the habit
Of doing frequently. The kitchen porch
is about three feet from the ground. 1t
is supposed that in the darkness she MADE
a mistake as 20 the location OF the steps
leading from the porch, and fell, STRIKING
the ground violently, head tirst, was rem"
I dered unconscious by the violence with
which she struck the ground, and while
lying unconscious succumbed to the m
tense cold.
A bruise under the right eye substan-
tiates, in d measure, this theory. Foul
play, with robbery as the motive, was one
of the first ideas entertained by Mrs. Kun
| dies friends. The house was entered
and a thorough search made. The rooms
were in the usual order, and the husband
found nothing missing. The undisturbed
condition of the furniture and places
where the articles of value are usually
kept dispelled the theory of robbery. Be
sides, every door of the house was found
to be locked, and the bunch of keys was
in a position that would indicate 1t was
in Mrs. BUNDLES possession just before
the accident.
The dead woman was A. years of age
aud leaves no children. With her hus-
band she had resided in Butte for a long
period of years, coming here direct from
England. She was we'll known and had
many friends in Meaderville.
The husband is employed at the Colusa-
Parrot as a miner. and works on the
night shift. AT 5 o'clock this morning he
got off Shift and walked to his home a
little in advance of some neighbors, who
are employed in the same mine. James
Counts, who worked with him, and whose
houS is but a few doors from the Rumble
home, entered his place about the time
Rumble made the startling discovery. He
heard Rumble exclaim, My God, what's
this? My wife dead.' n hurried over
to the Rumble residence to find the hus-
band weeping in anguish over the dead
body of his wife. He hurriedly summoned
several friends of the family. Every cir
cumstance connected with the unfortun-
ate affair was carefully noted, anu the
remains of the poor woman taken to her
home. Later the body was removed to
Richards undertaking rooms.
Coroner Julien was notified. He decid-
ed to hold the inquest al soon as possible,
and it is in progress at Richards under
taking rooms this afternoon. The facts
brought out by the testimony are as mar
rated above.
Among the English-American residents
of Butte Mr.. and Mrs. Rumble are we'll
known. The husband was in his younger
days a famous Cornish style wrestler. and
was at one time champion of England.

Southern Pacific Earnings

San Francisco, Feb. ia financial
statement of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, just issued, shows it's earnings for
December last, and for the last six
months Of last year. In December the
gross receipts were So 36 500. This is an
increase of $424,474 over the same month
of the preceding year. The net receipts
amounted to 81, $40, S97, which is a de-
crease of $75, 705, as compared with De
cember, 1897. For the six months in ques-
ton the gross earnings amounted to $685.
1856 1881, an increase of 81, 265, 1857 over the
same period of the year before. The to-
tai net receipts amounted to $11 ,S74, 773.
These figures represent a decrease Of
Sal. ISL over the same months of 1897.
The loss in net receipts as compared with
the phenomenal gain in gross earnings is
due to the fact that the company is ex-
pending a great deal of money in equip
ment and improvements.
