F. a. Creager, who had lost about
eight or ten letters, which he had
just gotten out of his postofhce
box. The letters were inside a
copy of the Galveston News, and
were left by Mr.. Creager on the
desk in the lobby, while he step
ped a short distance away to speak
to someone. Returning for his
mail, he found it had been carried
off. A thorough search failed to
discover the lost mail, and natural
ly Mr.. Creager was very much
worried by the loss, as some OF
the letters were of considerable i'm
portance He was greatly relieved
therefore when he was notified
about four o'clock yesterday after
noon that the lost mail had been
dropped into the postofhce. None
of the letters had been tempered
with, and it is more than probable
that they had been carried off by
mistake, someone having evidently
laid his own mail on the desk be-
side Mr.. Creager's and then &C
cidentally gathered up the latter
with his own.
