Mail Train Robbery At Union Station St Paul
Five youths stopped a United States mail truck at a railroad depot early today and transferred twelve sacks of mail from a federal reserve shipment bound for the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul train. The heist occurred within minutes of the truck’s arrival, as guards were forced to leave their posts. Investigators suspect an inside job with knowledge of the train schedule and guard details. In a separate action, the House approved a joint resolution directing the Secretary of War to stop enlistments until active regular forces are limited to 175000 men.
