A smooth p'ece of sneak thievery was perpetrated upon the operator at Mini doka last Wednesday night when two bums succeeded in getting away with one of the mail pouches on the cart at the station. The cart, had been wheeled to tiie platform near the water tank and operator was waiting for the west bound mail which was then in sight, He dis covered that the sack holding the reg istered mail had been left at the office and hurried to get it. During the short time he was absent the mail sack was taken without anyone seeiog the robbers. The loss was not discovered until the next trip, whenthe sack which contained mail from this city and other towns along the Minidoka line was re ported missing. Herbert Prothero the mall clerk for this branch was able to trace it uatil it was out of his care and in the custody of the agent at the terminal. On search of the surroundingcountry about the depot the sack, cut open, was found with many letters rifled and scattered about the sagebrush. Two young men who had been seen hanging about the depot and their description telegraphed to the towns on the main line. They were arrested at Nampa and confessed to the crime. One ot the robbers was but nineteen and the other twenty-one, and neither seemed to realize the seri oneness of their crime. The trial will come under the jurisdiction of the fed eral courts. of ad or to the are are ^ Inquire of S. T. Hamilton & Co.
