POStdl Officials Tracing Authors
OF Threatening Letters.

Postofiice Inspector Holmes. with
headquarters in Cincinnati. and his
corps of assistants, are being kept
busy IL an effort to bring to justice
the writers of the threatening let
ters received by tobacco growers in
kentucky. There have been sub
mitted to Colonel Holmes many of
these letters, and he at once as
signed men to run down those
guilty of sending them through the
mails.
Letters that contain ordinary
threats or scurrilous matters have
not been considered within the
of the postal laws and req

lsmuch as the letters contain an
element of blac<mail, cases can be
made against the writers. The
violence will be presented to the
federal Attorney in whose district

SURPRISE FOR THE THIEF
Rehber Got Safely Away with Booty.
But Il Wasn't Going to Make
Him Rich.

In a window Of a departmental
store in one Of the main streets Of
the Atstadt quarter of Munich there
was displayed a gold championship
belt, the prize of an international
wrestling match being held there.
Around the belt were rolls of coins
representing $1,000, the purse to be
presented to the victor. In the small
hours of night an unknown individ-
ual broke the window with a brick
wrapped in flannel, grabbed the
treasure and fled. A superintendent
of the street cleaning brigade saw
the deed, jumped on his bicycle and
gave chase, but before he had gone
very far was stopped by a policeman
who wanted to know why he was
carrying no light on his machine.
When the matter had been explained
to the satisfaction of the guardian
Of the law the thief of course had
vanished. A grievous disappoint-
ment awaited him, though, for the
rolls contained worthless dummy
coins, while the gold belt, which he
had let alone, was genuine and worth
$500.
