Mail Sack Found,

Glyndon-The loss of a mail sack
containing nearly 1000 letters which
have been buried in the Buffalo river
more than year has no doubt been
the cause of many disappointments
and heartaches during that period, and
the recent finding of the sack by a
farmer near here has no doubt brought
some degree of relief and happiness
to the sufferers. In many cases, how
ever, the mystery of the long de-
layed letter has been solved too late.
When robbers on the night of Oct
8, 1906, took a mail sack containing
nearly 1000 letters from a truck at
the railroad station at Moorhead, and
after taking what they wanted threw
the rest into the river, they performed
an act which has, no doubt, to a great
er or less degree, Influenced the des
TIMES of many.

Big Robbery.

Minneapolis - Robbers secured
$4,000 In cash and checks from the
safe of the main Office of the Min.
neapolis General Electric company
some time in the night. It was re-
ported by the company officials that
the cash amounted to $1,000 and the
checks to $4,000.
How the robbers secured entrance
to the safe is mystery, as it was
found locked and in good repair when
the office force arrived the next morn.
Ing. The main building of the Gen.
eral Electric company on Fifth street
south is open day and night, and it Is
believed that some one slipped into
the office and either opened the safe
or found the outer doors open.
The safe is large one with inner
and outer compartments. The outer
doors have a combination lock which
was In place the next morning. but
which must have been forced in some
manner. The inner safe has no com.
bfnation, and once the robbers had
opened the big doors their work was
easy.
