RECORD OF STAMP
SALES ARE FOUND
Box Stolen From Scio State
Bank March 3 Located
Under Bridge
Depositors, who lost war savings
stamps form the vaults of the Scie)
state bank on the night of March 3,
when thieves, stripped the safty do
posit boxes of their entire contents'
are rejoicing today over the discovery
of the metal box belonging to the
postmistress of Scio. Miss Daisy
Buckner, which containes the postof
fice records of the sale of all war
savings stamps. The find will insure
their being compensated in the en
tire for their losses .as fae
savings stamps are concerned.
The box Was ftisenv.i.,! ITn-.l..
undcr Grn bridge by Ik Butler,
loreman or a Linn county road gang.
It was concealed under some rubbish
and the road workers stumbled on
it
while resting under the shelter of the
bridge during their noon hour.
The recptacle contained the only
record of the sales of the war sav
ings stamps that were stolen in ex.'
istence. Without this there was some
doubt as to whether the government
would acknowledge claims for the
stamps lost on the unsupported state
ment of those buying them.
One man lost stamps valued at
$4700 Postmaster Stewart had already
written to Washington to get a rul
ing on how to handle tne climax as
the question had never been raised
previously. With the discovery of
the records however this difficulty has
been satisfactorily solved.
No trace of the robbers has been ,
found. The total loss as closely as '
ean be estimated amounted to abas
$30,000 in leberty bonds and stamps.
