Show Mail Box Fire Set With Match, Police Investigate Postmaster Ray Mills reported Wednesday morning that a person, per-son, as yet unappremended, dropped drop-ped a lighted match into a collection col-lection mail box sometime between be-tween 3 Tuesday afternoon and 10 Wednesday morning. The box is located at the southwest corner corn-er of Center Street and Second East. Apparently only one match was used, but the resulting fire damaged or destroyed considerable consider-able mail matter, including one check for deposit and several checks mailed to pay bills. Postal Inspectors and local polioe are currently making investigations in-vestigations and the culprit, if caught, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the federal postal law. Any individual or individuals furnishing information resulting in the arrest and conviction of the law breaker will receive a liberal reward, Mr. Mills said. |
