By Associated PrcsS).

PORTLAND, ORE. Sept. S.-A
package entrusted to tn" care Of the
Wells Fargo Express Company at Sa-
lem, Ore. by j. r. Albert. president of
the Capital National Bank of that city.
and addressed to Joseph NJ. NJ yers at
the Portland hotel, In this city. con-
tanning over $4,000. is strangely Miss
ing. That the package reached Port
land from Salem on the southern Pa
ciiic train, arriving herr nj 1870
o'clock on the night of Aug. 81. has
been established beyond doubt. but
what became of 1t after that hour
would be welcome news to the express
company. to Joseph Meyers and
Banker Albert. OF Salem. AS soon as
the robbery was2reported TO the express
company. detectives were PIT TO work.
Their efforts to unearth clue to the
perpetrators of the rbb"ry have not
been entirely unsuccessful. as Is indi-
Gated by the following statement of Su-
D. rintendent Beckwith. of the Portland
Office OF the Wells Fargo Express Com
pany:
I'VE have detectives at work on the
case and will never let up until we
catch the thief. no matter how long
it may require. We have some clues.
but what they are we are not ready
to make public"
How the theft was accomplished Is
almost as great a,mystery to the ex-
press officials as is the identity
of the thief. The packagn was TAXI n
from the unin depot Office. they believe.
some time betwesn 1870 p. M, August
q. and 100 a. m. August 22. During
these hours the rnen in these Offices
are rushed with work and it is possible
that the door of the Ofiic" was left
open for few minutes and that the
thief slipped in and took the package.
When Banker Albert entrusted the
valuablCs to the express company he
specified SO as its value and for that
reason thc package was not placed in
the company's strong box. From the
best information at hand. it is under
stood that the package contained
jewelry. promissory notes and other
papers OF value at over $4,000.
