Valuable JeWeIry Belonging to
Mrs. YuIe Taken Thursday
Found in a Mail Box
TWO RINGS ARE STILL MISSING
Police Believe That They Are Getting
Close to the Guilty Parties and
Arrests May Be Made Very
Soon.-PoIice are Active

Two of the valuable rings belonging
to Mrs. George A. Yule which were
taken on Thursday evening or Friday
morning have been returned to Mrs.
Yule and in such a peculiar manner
that the mystery in connection with
the case is not as yet solved, but the
police believe that they are getting
close to the heart of the case and the
arrest of suspected parties may come
at any minute.
The two rings returned were a ring
which had been purchased in Paris,
and ring set with five diamonds.
The rings came to the police through
Carl Maegaard, the mailing clerk of
the Kenosha postofdce, Maegaard
found the rings in the mail box at the
postoffice on Sunday morning while
sorting a lot of miscellaneous mail,
and at once reported the find to the
police. The rings we're enclosed in
plain envelope which had not been
sealed.
Not a single bit of writing was found
on the envelope, but it was wrinkled
In such way as to indicate that the
rings had been carried in the envelope
for some time.
The rings were so large that they at
once attracted the attention of the
postoffice clerk and when he found
that the envelope was neither sealed
nor addressed he emptied the envelope
ont on the mailing board ard dis
covered the rings. He at once sup
posed that they were a part of the
jewelry taken from Mrs. Yule and
went at once to the police Office and
turned them over to Assistant Chief
Newhouse.
AS the mail box was open to the
use of the public all Saturday night
and early Sunday morning it is a hard
matter to get any clue from this fact.
The mail box was emptied late Satur-
day evening and had been unmolested
until Sunday morning, when the mail
was taken out by Maegaard and put
into the sacks for the north and south
trains.
The police had not expected that
the thieves would weaken so soon and
fer this reason the mail box had not
been watched and it is not being
watched at the present time. Chief
O'Hare and his mea claim that they
have secured valuable clues in the
case which point strongly to the guilt
of certain parties. 1t is evident that
the guilty parties are making an ef-
fort to get from under, and the fact
that notice has been served that
should the rings be returned before
arrests are made no questions will be
asked, it is thought will have ten
dency to bring the jewelry back to its
owner. 1t seems evident that the
robbery was the work of an amateur
in crime and that he or she is anxious
to get out of the case with as little
trouble as possible.
This is the second time that the
mails ia Kenosha have been used for
the return of stolen property. n
short time ago $l75 was stolen from
man ia a Main street saloon, and when
the police got close on the track of The
man who was alleged to have taken it
the money came back through the
mails and was turned over 10 the
owner. AS in the case Of the. rings, it
came in a plain envelope, but in that
case the name Of the chief Of police
was printed on the envelope.
1t is thought that the police will be
ready to move in the jewel case be-
fore tomorrow noon and this chance is
given the guilty parties to return the
rings to the police or TO Mrs. Yule.
