robbery, but had spent bis time in try,
ing to locate the culprits. Also an in

from this department. However,
canned goods, meat and other sroeer
les were takea
Entrance 70 the building was ef.
fected through the door, whcih was
bolted with a common lock and could
have been unlocked with almost any
skeleton key Il is the opinion Of
sheriff Lewis that such a key was not
brought into use. but that the door was
opened with a rolling cutter from an
ordinary sulky plow. This cutter was
lying near the building and the fac
ing Of the door gave evidence that this
implement had been used against it
as a lever with which to force the
lock.
No exact olew as TO the identity OF
the guilty parties has been found, but
the finger Of suspicion points strongly
toward certain people who win be
watched and arrests are expected at
almost any time
It Is thought that the robbers entered
with the purpose Of taking groceries
rather than cash from the postoffiee
receipts as a hasty examination Of
those accounts failed to reveal a loss

flee accounts viii be made today and
