LETTER MAIL SACK,
AND CON7'EN7.SR RUN
OVER At JUNCTION

A sack of tirst-class nail for ely
and way points on the Nevada
Northern was ground into mass OF
pulp yesterday at Cobre, most of
the letters being so badly damaged
that the addresses thereon as we'll
as the contents We're obliterated.
The sack had been thrown out of
the mail car of the westbound
Southern Pacific train connecting
with the Ely train, and it rolled
off on a rail of the track where it
either was overlooked or lay for
some time. No. 10 came rolling into
the station after the westbound
passed and the wheels went direct
ly over the sack, probably turning
and twisting it in a manner to go
over it at several angles and sey-
ering it to shreds as different car
wheels reached the ruined sack.
The remains thereupon were
gathered up and the postal clerk
or the local line and local Office
clerks are using every effort to
"'"hS o"' 'HT iuui cSacs ~ tie udIl-
aged letters in order that they may
attend to their delivery
Some letters more or less mutt
lated were received last night, one
of which was addressed to the
White Pine News. Many others in
the sack probably never can be
made out
1t was leather sack of kind
that is supposed to hold 200 pounds
of mail when filed tc capacity.
