When Detectives F. NJ. Wheeling and

en- into at the Rio Grande depot Win
dOWs leading into the mail division, the
lWells-FargO division and the baggage
division were smashed and from traces
about the car it is evident that two rob-
bers had been at work. They first en-
tered the mail car, but, finding that
everything had been removed, they broke
into the baggage compartment. Only
few trunks could be found there, and
they next smashed window leading in
to the Wells-Fargo compartment.

ventOry OF the articles taken at the Wells
Fargo office in the Denver & Rio Grande
depot by Edward Gushing last night it
was found that none of the packages in
transit were missing. Mr.. Cushing was
one of the first to enter the car and this
was after he had heard a crash Of glass

down through the railroad yard.
