MAIL Theft
DISCOVERED
Letters Stolen Nearly Two Years
Ago Found at Man
chester.
SEARCH IS NOW UNDER WAY
Department Begins Hunt for Thief
Whose Work Never Was
Reported.
SEARCH IS NOW UNDER WAY

Manchester, March 23.-Discoy-
cry OF mail pouch taken two years
ago at independence, which nobody
knew was stolen, has resulted in the
postoffiee department beginning the
search for the thief.
Fire recently damaged the resi-
dence Of C. B. Mills, and in investi-
eating the loss Mr.. Mills found a
gunny sack filed with letter mail.
He reported the discovery, and In
spector Grant B. Miller of Waterloo
has been in Manchester for two days
working on the case.
Letters in the sack contain yalu-
able papers and drafts for amounts
as large as $4,000, besides deeds and
letters patent The letters probably
were in pouch thrown from Illi-
nois Genital train No. on the
night of June 9, 1910, but what has
become of the pouch, and why the
loss never was reported is mys-
terry.
Before the Mills family moved in
to the house recently burned, it was
occupied as a rooming house by Mrs.
NJ. E. Atkins, and it is supposed the
thief occupied rooms there, and aft
er examining the contents Of the let
terms slowed the sack away in the
attic.
