Il Postmaster
Wing Mail 1angle Reveals
Complex Features II

The. alleged robbery of the Wing
p~ostoffice claimed to have occurred,
about a, year ago. was aired IN. dis
trict court yesterday afternoon, iii
the case wherein Herbert d. Baker
was suing Herman Sachs to recover
$500. ,.
Herman Sachs formerly conducted
a store at the town of Wing, in the
north end of the county, and in his
store was situated the little postOf-
fee. Leslie Draper was the postmas.
ter, and as the p~ostofice was kept in
Sachs store the latter vas the assist
ant postmaster.
Herbert Baker. aged "a, was EN-.
ployed as a clerk by Sachs, but just
before Christmas and about the time
E!aker. severed his connection with
Sachs, it "a given cut that the post
office at Wing had been robbed. Bak-
er having ieft there, he Was later sus-
pected Of the robbery, and under that
charge still stands indicted in the
United States court.
1t appears that Baker paid Sachs
5000 cash for the purpose of squaring
the shortage with the government.
The matter "a not fixed" with the
government to square Baker, and he
now sues Sachs to recover the
amount as stated.
At that time O.. Lnndquist, now
deputy postmaster at Bismarck. was
a postoftice inspector and he went to
Wing to Investigate matters. He not
only found that the Wing office show.
ed a shortage of the $500, which Bak.
err had tried to make good, but that
the total amount of the shortage was
5000. No reports of the affairs Of
the Office had been made to the post
office department for six months and
the affairs Of the office generally
were in a deplorabie condition.
MI. Lundquist finally removed the
postifice to other quarters, and he
not only removed Postmaster Draper,
but he also secured "a fedral tindict.
ment against Draper for embezzle.
ment and an indictment. against Bak-
er for robbery. However, before
left the matter at Wing, he
secured enough cash from the par
ties involved to make up all the short
ages.
Bakers case in district court here
yesterday was not given to the jury
till in the evening. The young man
hopes that If he can secure a judg-
ment against Sachs it will have some
weight in clearing him OF the GRIM
1nal action now pending in the Unit.
cd States court.
