ogden. Utah, Dec. 24--Although
undoubtedly aware that secret service

lice Of several western cities have
been bending every effort to thwart
their operations, the mail box rob
bers who had been traced to this city
from Chicago were In no haste last
night to continue westward-at least
not until they had looted six deposit
tories OF Christmas mail.
The thieves used an explosive to
break the locks of the boxes. and 1t
has been discovered that none Of the
shattered plates were left behind.
This. the authorities believe, would
indicate that the robbers plan to
make duplicate key for use pos
sibly when they revisit the town
again.
on their arrival here yesterday
evening two secret service agents at
once began to lay their lines for the
crooks. having traced them from the
east TO Salt Lake and thence here.

the theft, he seemed wholly AT q loss
and very much perturbed. Several
musical scores had been submitted to
him, he explained as one OF the
judges in a contest which had been
conducted for some time by the
Metropolitan opera house. From the
compositions passed on, he had se-
lected six, which he had instructed
his secretary to forward TO Mr.. Chad
wick. He does not know whether
these six had been done up in one
or two packages, but was inclined to
think they had all been sent under
the same cover.
In that case, he estimated the value
of the package at $40,0 to $50, 600.
The prize score was to have received
$4,000 and whatever the loss he
feared IL would be irrepaable as he
doubted If any duplicates were to be
had.
The block in which the theft was
committed houses several characters
known to the police as Guerillas.
