CHICAGO POSTOFFICE. ROBBED
OF A WAGON LOAD OF STAMPS

Chicago. Oct. 22.-The most daring
and ingenious robbery of pub
lie institution ever perpetrated in Chi
cagO was successfully accomplished at
some time between Saturday night and
yesterday morning, when postage
stamps to the value of $T4,61O were
abstracted from the stamp vault of
the Chicago postoffice by operators
who bored a passage through n steel
floor in order to reach their plunder.
If they had calculated their distance
six feet to the west from the point
where they worked, they undoubtedly
would have carried off nearly $4,000
in cash and $S0O.OOO in stamps.
The burglars plan of operations was
almost identical with that followed by
the robbery Of the vault Of the Selby
Smelling Company near San Francisco
several months ago.
The burglars secured entrance .un.
der the building and by digging
trenches and tunneling through cross
