charge of tampering with tho mails.
About seventy-five pounds Of mail

raj mail carrier put Of here. confess
ed to putting the mail there. giving
as an excuse that he was anxious to
hurry back to the farm to take his
father to New Rockford in the auto
used on the mail route. -,
Many of the letters had been OPEN
ed. Nothing Of value was missing,
So far as known. and it has been a
mystery to all familiar with the cir
cumstances what motive the young
man could have had in holding UP the
letters.
Shihet did not come to town from
his delivery route. He says. he went
to the gravel pit and deposited the
mail in an old hole, partly filled with.
rubbish. He threw his overcoat over
the mail. While workmen were put
ting a fence on the Putnam land at
the, gravel pit they were attracted by
the coat and investigation revealed
a bushel Of mail matter cached there.
IT was brought to; town and a short
Investigation proved that Shiflct had.
deposited IT. .

delivery to rural patrons and letters
that had been collected on. the route.

As soon as the matter came. to a

United States marshal.
The case is n Of mystery through
