CORIEz POSTMASTER ARRESTED
Alleged to Have Stolen Covernmen,
Money by Issuing Fake Orders

Postmaster Won Tiedemaun and wife
OF Cortez, Lander County, have been
arrested aud are now in Jail at Austin,
charged with robbing the p~ostofice ct
Cortez of about $4,000.
Cortez is a small town about IS miles
north Of Eureka, and the county line
dividing Eureka and Lander County
runs near that town. Won Tiede-
mann. a physician, was postmaster at
that place. and his wife was his assist
ant. About q week ago an inspector
went to the office Unexpectedly and
while Won Tiedemann was absent,
examined the books and the accounts Of
the office. He found the funds "a, 800
short. Mrs. Won Tiedemann finally en-.
planned the shortage by stating that the
office had been entered aud p~lundered
several days before and she did not
know how much the robbers secured,
but believed IL t, be a large amount.
An examination of the books of the
Office disclosed. however, that many
orders had been secured in favor Of
relatives of the postmaster and his wife
and one order was made in favor OF the
postmaster himself. The inspector is
convinced that it was the issuing Of
these orders and the failure to pay for
any Of them that caused the shortage ;
the postmaster and wife later getting
the money from the relatives to whom
1t was sent.
At the time Of the checking up Of the
Office by the inspector Won Tiedemann
was at Austin. being summoned there
on jury duty. The case has attracted
great attention through Lander and
Eureka Counties.
Preliminary Hearing On November 10
The hearing in the case was set for
last Saturday at Austin, but the de-
PENDANTS asked for a postponement in
the Case ia order to secure several wit.
nesses, and accordingly the prelimi.
naries were continued until November
10.
Won Tiedemann gives the following
explanation Of the shortage at his Office:
That several weeks g he desired to
make remittances to settle some &C.
counts and he purchased money orders
to the amount of ST. 84 for the purpose.
and then sent the orders. He placed
the money for the orders in q sealed
package to remit to San Francisco to
the department.. and then laid the
package with 5000 of his own money, a
gold watch and other valuables in a
small chest at the Office until the first
regular mail left the place, several days
distant. He then left on q short bust
ness trip, and while he was gone he re-
ceived a message from his wife stating
that the postofice had been plundered
and the chest containing the 5 4.284 for
remittance, his own 5000 and other
~valuables, had been stolen. He i'm
mediately returned to Cortez but could
find no olew leading to the identity OF
the robbers.
Owing to the past police career o
Won Tiedemann in San Francisco hi
story is not given credence generally.

THAW'S MOTHER MUCH WORSE.

Pittsburg, Jan. (SpeciaD.-The condition of Mrs
William Thaw. the mother of H. K. Thaw. now on
trial in New York took a decided turn for the
worse to-day. This evening Mrs Thaw is in a
serious condition suffering rheumatism and
threatened with pneumonia. The great strain
through which she has passed in the last eighteen
months since her killed Stanford White has
been accentuated by the suit of the Countess of
Yarmouth her daughter, against her husband for
divorce, and she is on the verge of collapse.
Her condition is such that her friends say she
will not be able to attend any of the sessions of
the Thaw trial and there is grave danger that she
viii never again leave her bed. Mrs. Thaw is more
than seventy years old and her strength has been
greatly undermined by the double trouble that has
been brought upon her family.
