SUIT FILED
Against Sioux Falls Postmaste.
To Recover on Stolen
Money.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 1S.-Suit has been
filed in the federal court in Sioux
Falls by the United states government
against Postmaster P. j. Rogde and
his bondsmen for $40, 900, the value
of the registered package which dis
appeared from the p~ostofice June 10,
1911, and which has never been To-
Gated.
The action is brought by District
Attorney Stewart under the provision
of the postal laws which holds the
postmaster responsible for all registered
mail received by his Office. The pro-
vision is as follows: ''The postmaster
will be held accountable for all regis
tered matter coming into his postofice
and he must take such precautions as
may he necessary to safeguard it,"
The package, the loss of which lie
the basis of this suit, was sent from
Minneapolis June Is, 1911, by the
Northwestern National bank and con
signed to the Sioux Falls Savings
bank. 1t contained $40. 900 in cur
rency and was received at the Sioux
Falls postoffce about Z o'clock in the
morning of June 10 and was signed fol-
| by a clerk in charge of the register ed
mail. He placed it in the safe in
which those packages are kept. An
other clerk came on duty later and
when the package was called for by
the bank it was missing from the
safe and the most diligent search
Throughout the office failed to locate
it. 1t was therefore presumed that the
package bad been stolen. The news of
the loss of the package created a more
| than state wide sensation and the gov
Iernment sent a force of detectives and
postal inspectors here, who put every
member of the postoffice force under a
%grueling examination but the person
who stole the package could not be To-
Gated.
The package was insured with a
Minneapolis company ard the bank
that sent it was thus protected from
loss.
On February II. 1919. the federal
attorney served notice on Postmaster
Rogde and his bondsmen to pay to the
government the value of the package
and the action is now brought to TO.
cover the amount.
The action is brought against Peter
j. Rugde, Fl. W. Kittredge and Fan
ME Pearson as heirs of the A. b.
Kittredge estate; Thomas McKeon,
Peter Thompson, VIM. l.. Baker,
Herman Freese. George w Abbott,
Francis Hyde and Porter p. Peck.
The trial of the case, which will
chiefly involve questions of law will
very likely take place at the April
term of the federal court.
Mr.. Rogde assumed the duties of his
office June 80, 1910. and he had beer
in Office about a year when the package
disappeared. The action does not pre-
