LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
Missed From Q MansIed Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car IriIcks

Iney are recovered from
Car Trucks.
II does not always follow that the
disappearance Of registered mail
packages indicate a robbery Of the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No.
Friday, November 5th, when q pack
age OF five registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from a crane by means Of a pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
In two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance,
but the five registered letters, which
were In q packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and 1t was re-
ported as lost.
Postofiice Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car. where 1t had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was not injured
in the slightest. nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacific's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

At a recent meeting OF the National American

mitted a plan which is not militant like that OF
