SUNLIGHT POSTMASTER
ALARMED BY BURGLARS

Simon Snyder. postmaster at
Painter, Wyoming, was rudely
awakened frim his peaceful slum-
marauders entered his room and
riied his cash drawer which con-
tanned over 5000. in currency which
was the property of Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Snyder was beside himself for
a time as he could not find any of
his guns. and he hesitated to fol-
low the brigands without some
weapon. He awakened his two
boarders, Misses Audrey Wilder and
Natalie Siggins. who seemed to get
considerable amusement out of Mr..
Snyders evcited condition and the
up country postmaster finally came
to the conclusion hat he had been
jobbed.
The story as Mrs. Snyder tells it
is that Simon took in about $500
thru the %postoffice one day and was
rather beside himself as to where
to keep the money. The two girls
craving a little excitement, and
finding a ready ally in their hostess,
IL 10 ways iCdoN

holdup. Making up the plot with
Mrs. Snyder the girls donned some
mems clothes, draped masks over
their faces and after ascertaininG
that Mr.. Snyder was asleep, entered
his room and rifed the money
drawer. At the proper time Mrs.
Snyder awoke her husband with the
cry that someone was in the room
and Simon jumped out of bed to
n the money gone and papers
scattered about in a disorderly
fashion. The girls had hurriedly
crawled thru a small window back
into their own room, and slipping
heir night clothes over the highway
men garb, were peacefully asleep
when Mr.. Snyder awoke them to
find out if they heard anyone about
the house. y
Simon says that the groceryman
who had to get along with Peck's
Bad Boy had nothing on him since
he allowed these two misses Il como
