ROBBERSGET AWAY
WITH THE STAMPS
The postoffice at Kandiyohi was
robbed Tuesday night of last week.
Over $200 worth of stamps and a
small sum of money were taken.
The burglars evidently forced open
the door without breaking the lock
and then opened the safe very read
ily as it had not been locked. Had
they cracked the safe or made any
disturbance they would have found
it more difficult to escape, but as
it was they quietly took their leave
and so far no trace of them has
been found, other than articles
picked up by the section men the
following morning, which might
indicate that the burgalars had
walked to Willmar and left for the
cities on one of. the early morning
trains.
Postmaster Lundquist finding the
door open supposed that the boy at
the store had arrived before him
so gave the matter no thought until
he discovered the rifled safe some
little time afterward. A postoffice
inspector has the case in charge.
