POST
OFFICE ROBBED
Burglars Again Enter Place
go Through Mail.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Jan. 17:-When Post
master Alexander Guy, of Holmdel,
opened his general store and post
office building for business yesterday
morning he discovered that the place
had once more fallen a victim to the
regular rounds of the burglars who
are apparently skipping about the
county and this vicinity with clock
like movements.
At the last attempt at the Holmdel
p~ostoffice, about six weeks ago, Mr.
Guy vas awakened by the forcing OF
an entrance by the yeggmen and Sc
curing his shotgun, fired a shot or
two as the robbers, being frightened
away, disappeared in the darkness.
The store and postofice had beer
greatly ransacked but the burglars
secured little loot. The safesin the
office containing some money and
stamps was not opened, the greatest
damage being done to the genera
mail, which was looted to a big ex.
tent. A quantity of this contained
a large number of checks of William
Ely, of Holmdel, written on the Far.
mers and Merchants Bank at Mata,
wan. 1t is stated they amounted tc
several thousand dollars.
After the mail had been examined
by the burglars they had thrown
away the checks, which had beer
partly torn and disfigured, then scat,
tered along the country road tc
Everett for a distance of several
miles and ~passersby today were gath.
ering in the paper. One gentleman
who came to this place on business
had a number in his possession which
he had picked up along his way.
Who the perpetrators of these con
tinued raids on the postoffices
drought the county are, is still as
perplexing as ever. 1t is but a few
nights ago that the Little Silver
p~ostoffice was entered.
Postmaster Guy, of Holmdel, sen
in his resignation as to his position
at Holmdel, to take effect the first OF
the year, owing to the small salary
attached and the great responsibility
and the danger to coupe with the in
creasing number of daring robberies.
Mr.. Guy is now holding the Office un-
til his successor, who has been ap-
pointed, qualities.
