Spokane, March 16.-Impersonating
an inspector of railway mails, lone
robber entered a mail car at Bonner's
Ferry, Idaho, on the Great Northern,
held up two mail clerks, tied one to
chair, put the other in a clothes
closet and then rifled the mail sacks
for next three hours in perfect secur-
ity.
He did not leave the car until it
reached the city limits of Spokane,
when he dropped off the car with
small sackful of coin and valuables.
Mail Clerks Nysteum and Benjamin
Stumpf were released when the train
reached the depot and the robbery
was discovered.
The thief worked with perfect calm
ness, smoking a cigar and handling
the bundles of letters with great ex-
pertness. Several times he loosened
the bonds of Stumpfs wrists and
eased the conditions of Nysteum's con-
finement in the closet in order that
the prisoners might be more comforta-
BILE.
The robber entered the car at Bon
ner's Ferry at 4 o'clock this morning
and said his name was c. w. Ben
nett, an inspector. He asked the clerk
to see If there was any mail for him
and as they did so he covered them
with a revolver. When the robbery
was discovered in Spokane the blood
hounds were put on his trail, but
after a few blocks it was lost at the
street car tracks.
With but one slender clew upon
which to base their hopes the police
OF Spokane still expect to capture the
daring Great Northern mail car rob-
Der before tomorrow morning.
The single clew which the police
has turned up since the raid was re-
ported is the statement of a street
car conductor that a man answering
closely to the description of the thief
took his car short distance from the
railroad crossing where the robber
left the train and rode into the city.
The police are positive that the
man has not been able to leave Spo-
kane since and believe him to be
hidden in one of the lodging houses
in the tenderloin.
A house to house canvass will be |
made by officers today. The fact |
that the robber cut his hand while |
opening a mail sack makes the |
chances of his ultimate discovery con-
siderably brighter, as the police are
confident his bandaged right hand |
WIN in the end give him away.
Further investigation of the rifled |
car offered the detectives no more
and a renewed examina- |
