CAR STOPSAT
GARAGE HERE
NEARLY MORN
Possible Clue Is Re-
vealed B y Night
Man at Mueller
Station

Postal Inspector Esch of Chica-
go has arrived in the city to in
vestigate the robbery of the Bara-
boo postoffice of Wednesday morn
ing. The systematic manner in
which the safe was opened leaves
little doubt but that the robbers
were we'll versed in their trade,
and not amateurs.
William A. Plat, Baraboo me-
chanic, is of the opinion that equip
ped as the vandals were the hole
in the safe, about 16 to IL inches
in size, could have been cut in
some ten minutes.
A possible clue as to the identi-
ty of the bandits has been reveal
ed with the appearance Of four
men in a Hudson brougham at the
Mueller Garage here about $3.50
Wednesday morning. Two of the
men entered the, garage and ask
ed for road information. They
wanted to know the best way to
Milwaukee, according to authori-
ties. The garage man did not OBJ
tain a description of the two men,
who addressed him but said he be
lieved neither were over Is years
of age.
