STOLEN DRAFTS IRE
VALUED At $4,000
Work of Checking Up Contents
OF RifIed Mail Sack Finished
inspector Goes 10 Parr in
Probe Robbery.

The total value of the drafts return
ed to the pOstOffice saturday after they
had ben stolen from a pouch of mail
which thieves obtained at DOwagiac
Friday night, is approximately $28,-
600. The work of checking up is be-
ing completed today
Inspector Howe of Chicago was in
Dowagiac Monday running down
clews to be obtained in that city, and
Inspector John Hunter of South Bend,
left early Monday for Parr, Ind,
where he will investigate a postoffice
robbery committed Friday night.
Hunter was notified by telegram sun
day night. No details were furnished
him.
Several men have been taken into
custody in connection with the Dow
agiac robbery but have been relased
after close questioning. One of the
suspects was said TO have been the
man who attempted a crude black
mail scheme on Frank Labuzienski,
a local salOOnkeeper, for which he was
arrested by the federal authorities EIe
was released after giving an account
of his whereabouts.
One of the important problems con-
fronting the local officers was to
find out where the robber or robbers
had rifled the mail. All indications
were that the job had been done so
deliberately, every letter returned 10
its proper enclosure, and none of them
even moistened by the rain which
soaked the suit case. that it must have
been inside a lighted room.
Practically all of the drafts return
ed Saturday were endorsed by the
banks issuing them, payable to any
other bank. but in spite of this the
thieves would not take the chance of
attempting to cash them.
With a cool insolence which match
ed the daring which prompted the
robber to enter the postoffice and re-
turn the drafts he had written on the
envelope which contained them in a
bold, clear hand: stolen at Dowagiac
Friday, Nov. 2S."
A suspicious looking character that
attracted attention of the postal off,
cials. spent nearly two hours in the
corridors Of the postoffice Saturday
morning. Until the discovery of the
