ROBBED THE PosToFFIcE.
The Cash Box Containing Sixty Nine
Dollars Stolen.

The Cash Box Containing Sixty Nine
Dollars Stolen.
There are evidently some slick
scoundrels around town, who are
past masters in the art of thievery.
During the past year a series OF
robberies have been committed In
which the similarity OF the metheds
seems to suggest that the same per
son or persons is guilty ofthen all.
Some months ago the depot was
robbed at two different times while
the agent was at dinaer. Last Fri
day evening 1t was the postofice
and the deed was done while the
postmaster was at supper, about
Is o'clock p. m. The whole
amont stolen was $4,000, besides
two registered letters addressed to
Treasurer R. d. Rollins, Of which
the value has not yet been ascer-
tanned. Eighteen dollars of the
money stolen was in the form OF
a pension check.
The theory Of the robbery is that
the thief raised the small sash Of
the money order window and,
seizing the cash box, made off with
it in the darkness. This is the
second time the postoffice has
been robbed within the past year,
a registered letter valued at $50
having been stolen some months
ago. 1t is 4 reflection on tho
tewn that these frequent robberles
should be csmrnftted'with impun-
ity. Of course it takes patient
and clever detective work to catch
"a thief whose characteristic
audaci,y would do credit to pro-
'essional cracksnaa; but "the
pitcher goes to the we'll once too
often" and il everyone will turn
detective these birds Of prey. tha,
iced on society seuerafly may soon
have their wings clipped and find
themselves suddenly transformed
into jailbIrds. We are Informed
by Postmaster Jacobs that in a
case of this kind The government
offers a standing reward Of $50
tor the apprehension of the thief
with evidence 10 convict.
Latcr-We have learned since the
above was put in type that the two
registered letters contained $5l, max
