Short Line Officials Succeed in Trac
ing Stolen Property to Sage Brush
and Later Nail the Robbers.
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.
