SALT LAKE POST
OFFICE ROBBED.
Smooth and Daring Thief Carries Off Reg
istered Mail Matter and Makes
Good His Escape.

a daring thief tempered boldly with
the United States mail service at about
1880 o'clock last night, and made his
escape. Eleven pieces OF registered
mail went with him, the value beins
unknown. A careful search made this
morning by Postmaster Thomas ana
the police resulted In the discovery OF
evidence to show that the theft was
committed by someone outside Of the
postoiiice, aud presumably by one who
has for some time been watching his
chance No clues were found, however.
which would lead TO the discovery OF
the robber He disappeared and left
no trace Of the direction he took.
AT the southwest corner Of the post
office, there il a basement window
without a screen the only window
along the row that IN unprotected. Al
about 10 o'clock last night S. II.
Reeves the night mail clerk, was work.
ing by this window The night mes
senger brought In a package OF regis
tered mail, and handed Il 10 Reeves.
The night clerk receipted for the bun
de and without untying 1t. tossed II
into a cupboard at his left elbow, push
Ing the door to. He was In a hurry 10
get the outgoing mail in the hands of
the messenger
To do this he was REQUIRED 10 20
upstairs. In less than twenty minutes
he returned. His first thought was for
the package Of registered mail. which
he was going to put in the safe. He
reached for IT, but II was gone. No one
had been near that corner from inside
the postohice. Mr. Reeves was positive.
He called Clerk l.. A. Billings from an
other part Of the office. and they made
a hasty examination together partlcu-
larly OF the corner in which Reeves
was working
In front Of the cupboard where
Reeves had left the package leather
pocket case about eight inches long
was found. Neither clerk remembered
ever having seen II before. II contained
neither papers, cards, names or ini-
tials. The window above was in it's
normal position. about eighteen inches
out Of the horizontal. and easily allow
ing for the entrance OF a man.
Mr.. Billings ran out of the postofiice
and around the alley which leads out
onto Pierpont avenue. the street upon
which the High school is situated. At
about fifteen feet from Reeves win
dow he found registry return card
and a lading slip, showing that the
man opened the package before ne left
the alley, The card found showed that
the letter which accompanied il was

was addressed TO Miss Eta I.angstaff
