A MAIL WAGON PLUNDERED Held Up by Five Armed Men, the Mail Pouches Ripped Open and 86,000 in Cash and $200,000 in NOnncgo- tiable Securities Stolen. CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Jesse James’ exploits were outdone‘ last night in Chicago. On one of the leading thoroughfares five dar- ing highwaymen suddenly surrounded one of Uncle Sam’s biggest mail wagons, filled. with registered and other matter, and at revolver point forced the postal employees , to stop, and then robbed the wagon of its contents. ‘ , ' The robbery took place on Mather street, between Des Plaines and Halstead streets, and was so quickly done that before the alfair was reported to the police the robbers had half an hour’s start. In a. refuse box on the north side,.three miles from the scene of the robbery, the cut mail pouches and their rifled contents were found about mid- night. The wagon was on its way to the main post office with mail from the Stock Yards and Southwest stations. 'When half way to Des Plaines street, on Mather, five men sprang from an alley, and while one seized the horses by the reins the others covered the driver with revolvers and commanded him to keep quiet. The team was then led into an alley. While two of the men covered the driver with guns the others forced open the door of the wagon, and hastily selecting the registered pouches from the others made ofi through the alley. They Got Six Thousand Dollars in Cash. An inventory of the contents of the wagon by the postoffice authorities shows that the two registered mail pouches from the Stock Yards station and the Southwest station were missing. The men who robbed the mail wagon, as nearly as can be estimated, secured in the neighborhood of $6,000 in currency and about $200,000 in nonnegotiable paper sent by the Drovers’ and the Stock Yards Na.- tional banks to their correspondents. Sev- enty—three letters and packages were found in the torn bags picked up on the North Side. The robbers evidently took pains to replace the contents of the bags after they had rifled them. Driver Creighton was seen at his home, and told the following story: “I was going down Halstead street at a good rate of speed, and . intended to go as far as Van Buren, but 2. blockade in the street made me turn off. I would have turned on Polk, but the street was so rough that I took Mather instead. As I got oppo- site the alley running south from Mother to Polk, five men ran out and ordered me to stop. Two of them sprang upon the seat, one on each side of me, each grasping me by the neck and putting a. pistol to my head. It was impossible for me to get a good look at any of the men. They nearly choked me and twisted my head about so that I could not see them. I could not identify them. One of them had a cloth cap with the viso: pulled down over his eyes; he was without an overcoat and wore a sack coat.” Their Plans “Tell Laid. Michael and John Shevlin, two men Whom the police pronounce crooks, were arrested at Halstead and Harrison streets. They were held on suspicion at the Maxwell street police station. Postoifice Inspector Stewart says that there were many registered letters in the bags, but the postofiice authorities could not, he said, form anything like an accurate estimate of the booty secured until an e'x- amination is made. “It is very evident,” said Mr. Stewart, “that the gang calculated on getting a good haul, as the carrier they attacked is known to have quite a valuable mail from the stock yards district. The fact that the bags were found on the north side cannot be regarded as being very much of a clew, inasmuch as young Kalamar found them, so as to throw suspicion on what they call the Market street gang. Every effort will be made by us to hunt this thing down. It is now nearly a year since a mail robbery took place quite near the scene of the occurrence of last night, and there is very good reason to be- lieve that the same bad gang committed them both.” Election Inspectors J alled. ’ NEW YORK, .Dec. 17.—Timothy J. Donovan and Philip C. Reilly, inspectors of election in the Second assembly district, have been adjudged guilty of contempt by Justice Lawrence, of the supreme court, who orders that they be imprisoned ten days and fined $250 each. They disobeyed orders of Justice Lawrence directing them to receive the votes of Messrs. Tower, Curtis and Burke. BRIEF MENTION. Several people of Newark, N.
