Omaha, Aug. 20.-The biggest robbery
Of the United States mails ever COM
mitted occurred between Denver and
Omaha last Thursday night. when three
through registered pouches. two Of which
contained S25OOO0. were stolen from the
Burlington Railroad fast mall train be-
tween Denver and Chicago.
Although the robbery occurred Thurs
day night, the news OF it leaked out to-
day, although postal inspectors Of Salt
Lake City. Denver, Kansas City. Omaha,
St. Louis. and Chicago. have been work
ing on the case since the robbery. To-day
every postal inspector and secret service
man in the entire west is working on the
case.
Thursday night seven through regis
tered pouches were sent from the Denver
postofhce 10 the depot Of the Burlington
fast mail train. These were receipted for
by the mail clerk. When the train reached

is said TO contain more than s250O00.
| As soon as the loss was discovered. the
| inspectors were notified ana a search be-

/ pouches had been sent 10 the wrong
/ train, but IL is now known they were
stolen. Yesterday the Chicago bank tel
