A SPARKS MYSTERY

For some time there has been
trouble with tile mails and those
that had the handling of affairs
were convicted that there was
something wrong. Yesterday tho
mails for the Bank of Sparks for
the date December 18th, January
30th and February LIST were dis
covered in an old tin lard can mid.
way between the sheds in the e a
of the Blood residence and the
Lincoln Park Office. There had
been an attempt made at conceal
ment. but discovery was made
through the keen eyes of a little
lad.
Master Downey first uneartherd
the mystery when he found in the
vicinity of the lard can n post
office money order payable to the
Bank of Sparks for a small sum.
He took the order to his home and
gave il to his mother. Engineer
Downey notified the bank of the
matter and Cashier Mulcshv took
it up with Postmaster Beemer.
MIR. Beemer had young Downey
escort him to the scene yesterday
and, after looking around dis
covered the three days mail that
the bank had lost. The letters
had all been torn open and the
contents examined but SO far as
al lie ascertained there is nothing
missing. The culprit evidently
discovered that cancelled checks
were valueless to him. The matter
has been placed in the hands Of a
postal Inspector and he is now on
the job.-Tribune.
