THEFT OF MONEY
MAIL BAG OPENED I Per T-:e.«x Association , INVERCARGILL, March 29. The Invercargill police have for th? past few days been making inquiries concerning interference with a mall bag containing registered letter;- from workmen employed in the Holly ford Valley. It is estimated that the money stolen exceeded £lOO. The workmen had been paid on Wednesday evening and a large number of them had posted various amounts to their wives and dependents in time to catch the outward mail the next evening. The mail bag was left in a billiard room adjoining the post office, sealed and ready for despatch. The following morning the bag was picked up by the contractor and brought to Lumsden, where a slit in the bag was discovered by the acting-postmaster and reported to the police, who far are without a clue.
