off at Independence at 1882 o. m. Of
June 9, 1910. having been made up on
that train about midnight Of June s.
The likelihood is that 1t was stolen
from the platform or station at INDIE
pendence, altho Inspector Miller de-
clared that he has no record Of its
loss. The superstition is that the thief
opened the pouch and placed the mail
In the gunny soak, and then either de-
stroyed or secreted the pouch. At the
time the robbery occurred the Mills
house was occupied by Mrs. NJ. e. At

secured rooms with Mrs. Atkins and

Manchester, March 22.-Much inter-
est centers about the mystery as to
who is the thief who stole the mail
pouch which contained much valuapie
mail and which was discovered re-
Gently in an attic in the c. B. NILS
residence in this city. A few weeks
ago the Mills residence caught on fire
which destroyed the greater part OF
the roof. Upon investigating the loss
Mr.. Mills came across grnny sack
filled with letter mail. Mr.. Mills re-
ported the matter to the local post
office authorities, who in turn noti-
fed Inspector Grant B. Miller, Of Wa
terloo. to make an investigation of the
peculiar case. Inspector Miller has
been in-:the city during the past two
days working on the case. The sack
full Of mail now proves to be the mail
which was stolen at Independence dur
ing the month Of June. 1910.
It seems evident from the facing
slips, cancellation marks. etc, that
these letters formed part Of the con-
tents of pouch made UP by railway
