great farm town covering thousands
of acres, divided up into patches of

scores of the farmers own their own

valley is worth $500 and upwards per
acre, and the orchards in bearing

POSTAL CLERK UNDER ARREST
st. Paul Man Accused Of Stealing Val
liable Furs.

NJ. J. Burns, for ten years clerk in
the inquiry department of the St. Paul
postoffice, is under arrest charged
with "embezzlement of ordinary mail"
which, in this case, means the stealing
of about $50 valuable furs. In the
basement of the .postoffice building
was found the "plant" where Burns
had hidden the furs and which he had
about ready to ship away.
The robbery with which Burns is
charged is an amazing one. In Inspec-
tor Simmons office the skins are
piled high on tables and the wrappers
from which they We're taken make a
pile several feet high.
The furs were all shipments from
Canadian points to firms in st. Louis
Being liable to duty the packages
came through the ST. Paul postoffice
that the customs officials might have
an opportunity to inspect them.
