SEGMENT OF LETTERS BOBS
IN CAR AFTER HAVING BEEN
REPORTED STOLEN.

The mystery enshrOuding a mail
sack, supposed to have either disap
pearcd at the ottawa Rock Island sta

messenger while en- route here, was
cleared up this morning with receipt
Of word that the pouch was safe on

For a while there was excitement
1t the north side depot and suspicion
was getting ready to point its accus-
ing finger al possible thieves. While
no arrests We're made such thing
remained IA possibility until the mes
,enger sent a note back here from
IeneSeo saying the missing sack had
been found and was in his possession.
The pouch carried first class mail
from Chicago ordinarily is considered
me of the most most valuable mail
shipments sent here. The furry
which passed around with the report
there had been postal ROBBERY ana
not subside until after the messenger
sent back information the sack was
safe in his keeping.
II is presumed the sack was thrown
IN at Chicago and kicked to one side
when more incoming mail was tossed
aboard, it became lost under the
maze of bags in the mail car The
clerk denied ever having received it
while the messenger at Chicago stout
" maintained he put it aboard the
train.
The incident began by looking like
something of mystery. 1t ended
With nothing but a safe and SOUND

pose of winding mp the business Of

will expire on May r., IL is likely they
