Bonds Of u ,ooo-Has Held Office But
Short Time.

Davenport, March 10-Frank c. Sic
bengartner. postmaster at Bettendorf,
was arrested by United States Mar
shall Andrew Peterson on charge pre-
ferred against him by Ralph c. Grit
fifth, postal inspector, charging him
with delaying third class mail. 1t Is
claimed that Siebengartner dumped
number Of newspapers and cata-
logs in the furnace room In his cellar
instead Of distributing them. When
taken before United States Commits
sioner A. G. Bush, Siebengartner en-
tered a plea of guilty to the charge but
later withdrew the plea and pleaded
not guilty. He was bound over to the
federal grand jury under a $1,000 BOND
which was furnished.
1t Is claimed the postal inspectors
have been investigating the case for
several months. At one time 1t was
reported that Siebengartner was not
guilty so the case was dropped Tor the
time. The investigation was resumed,
however, which resulted in the arrest
Siebengartner was appointed about six
months ago.
When asked concerning the case Mr..
Seibengartner said it would be fully
threshed out before the federal grand
jury at its next session.
'It is claimed" said he, that there
were some papers or catalogs found IN
the furnace room Of the Bettendorf
postoffice. If there were, do not know
how they came there unless they were
from the waste basket, which was en-
piled every day in the cellar. There
was a public waste basket in the front
Of the office, and the mail matter may
have been dropped into that and emp,
tied into the furnace room.
