ssWet" Mail.

Two sacks of mail were dispatched
from the noon train Sunday after
the train had left the station. This
resulted in that the sacks landed in
a ditch full of water and were not
discovered until in the evening. To
be sure that the sacks and contents
would be well soaked, the weather
man came along with a good rain
during the late afternoon.
The mail in question was second
and third class, so the loss was not
so great; but many patrons received
newspapers, magazines and advertis-
ing material which looked as though
it had been washed in the post office
but not run through the wringer.
