Mail Stolen at Lowell Has Been Recovered.

The mail sack that was stolen from the depot on the last night of April, at Lowell, for which diligent search has since been made, was found Friday night by one of the steel-laying crew on the Monon. He found it sitting upright by the fence near the stockyards. It had been cut open and the contents rifled. Bank drafts and checks to the amount of $1,600 are said to have been taken, while S4OO in drafts and checks were taken. The sack anc contents were dry, which shows that it had but recently been placed there, indicating that the thief had got cold feet. It is said that a detective is working on the job and that he is pretty hot on the trail and that arrests are likely to be made at any time.
