MAIL CLERK HELD FOR THEFT
William A. Shaw of Omaha Office
Caught by Inspectors.
DEcoY LETTERS FOUND ON HIM
One Opened and Money Removed
Other Fastened Up Sleeve by
Rubber Band-Shaw Says
"JOke.o

William A. Shaw, for three years a clerk
in the mailing department of the Omaha
postoffice, is confined in the city jail under
the charge of pilfering from the mails.
He was arrested at the postoffice at 93o
Saturday night by Postoffice Inspectors H.
S. Grogan of Lincoln and Frank Frayser
of Kansas City who have been working
on the case for several days. Two decoy
letters were found on his person, with some
of the marked decoy money.
Shaw, when confronted with the evidence
of his crime, undertook to treat the matter
lightly, but confessed to taking the letters,
saying that he did so just to put up
joke on the inspectors as he knew they
were decoys. One of them he had already
opened and abstracted the money contents.
The other was fastened up his sleeve with
q rubber band. He maintains that this is
his first offense, but the postoffice inspec-
tors have reason to believe that he has
taken about 15O letters and packages in
this way since January 1.
Shaw was employed in the outgoing mail .
ing department and had general charge OF
the distribution of packages for the OUT
going mails, though for a short while
during the evenings he threw some of the
Outgoing letter mail. his aHeSeu peCuld-
tions are confined to small amounts and
the aggregate value of them has not yet
been determined, though reports are made
on about $50 pieces of missing mall
Arrest PrOEtrates wife.
Shaw Is about IS years of age, and has
been In the employ of the Omaha office
ahO"' three years. He was formerly a
member Of the Twenty-second United
A,a.es infantry and was at one time sta
toned at Fort Crook, subsequently serving
with his regiment in the Philippines. His
record as a soldier is good. He is married
and lives at S02s Emmett street with his
wife and 9-months-old child. His wife is
nearly frantic over his arrest. The post
office inspectors are satisfied that she is
wholly ignorant of his peculations, and
thur far no effort has been made to search
his home for letters or packages

Attack on Plant.
The strike situation a tthe car company's
plant became serious today following the
attempt of half a thousand strikers to tear
down the car company's board fence. The
strikers. IT is reported, had been told that
two boxcars had been taken into the plant
yard loaded with strikebreakers. A rush
was made upon the gates. but the heavy
doors refused to yield. The members of
the mob armed themselves with railway
ties and with these heavy batteringrams
tore through a fifty-foot section of the
fence. The boxcars were searched, but
were found to be loaded with material.
The crowd then dispersed.

A Good Newspaper.

1t will be universally conceded that
the following good points, suggested
by the Scranton Tribune, if made the
ruling principles of a newspaper,
would make it winner in any COM
munity.
Jot down your ideas and then see
how they compare with the ten
points enumerated by the Scranton
Tribune given below:
A good newspaper tells the news,
as faithfully and truthfully as it
can, without fear and without favor,
and comments on it with the best in
telligence 1t can command.
A good newspaper is in league with
all men and women who think, and
with all the agencies that strive for
the happiness of the people.
A good newspaper shields no
wrong that ought to be exposed and
stops at no truth that ought to be
uttered.
A good newspaper does no lend it
sef to the making of strife between
citizens, neither RACES like a dema-
gogue nor weeps like charlatan.
A good newspaper has ideas, be-
lieves in progress, and wins its way
by courage, plain speaking and fair
dealing.
A good newspaper assemblies each
day as much of the good things that
are done in the world as it can find
and no more of the foul than it
must.
A good newspaper has political
opinions and may belong to a party,
but it cannot be an organ and keep
the high faith of the best journal
ism.
A good newspaper knows no boss,
leans to no petty satrap of office, and
owes no allegiance but to that which
is believed, to be true.
A good newspaper is run on BUSH
ness principles and should make
money and prosper like any other
business, but probably won't if that
is its sole aim.
A good newspaper takes a cheer
ful view of the world, is kind to hui
man failings, and helps men more
by entertaining them than by rant
ing and scolding at them.

She was one of Bluffton townships

her husband died a few years ago.
She spent the past winter visiting
