STOLEN MAIL POUCH DISCOVERED
Mystery Of March list is AccidentIy
Cleared Up.

A mail pouch from train No. sos
stolen from the depot platform on the
morning of March 81, was recovered
yesterday by Wenzel Dufick in M. M.
Radl barn, says the Sleepy Eye
Dispatch. So far as is known now
nothing is missing from the stolen
pouch. A slit in the side of the pouch
about five inches long shows the burg
lers Intentions to rife the sack but the
letters were all ri ght
Who the robbers were or what thew
expected to find in the mail from the
west is a mystery. The business from
that direction is not heavy. but the
robbers evidently expected to find
some registered letters or packages,
but in this they were disappointed. for
the pouch contained nothing of that
class.
The mail IS thrown from the Car to a
truck and it is supposed that while
Operator Prescott was busy with the
baggage some unknown tramp picked
up the lock pouch and made off with
it,
1t is evident that the robber was
frightened in his efforts to get at the
contents OF the pouch for the opening
cut in the side is not large enough so
that the packages of letters could be
taken out.
Quick. who is employed by Mr..
Radl, was at work around the barn
and when cleaning out the manager he
found the pouch under the feed box.
He at once reported the matter at the
post Office. =
The postal officials have been on the
lookout for the pouch ever since il
was reported missing nearly four weeks
ago, but had not the slightest clue as
to what had become of it. :.
