The amount taken from the postofhce

understood that everything Of value which
the craftsmen found was stolen Whether
the FIRE resulted from the use Of the ex.

whether It was deliberately started by the
robbers to hide their crime has not been
determined
The fifteen buildings which were destroy

is estimated al $4,000 nor very well coy

Some reports have II that tho losses viii
aggregate 100000 but this estimate Is far
too large. as several Of the buildings were
small and none were costly
There is also report that $1,000 was
