The trunk had been broken open, and the clothing which it contained was scattered over the ground, A child's bank, which had contained a small amount of change, was found among the clothing. It had also been broken open and the contents taken. The $675, which Benaitt now says was in the trunk, could not be found. The trunk had evidently been car- ried to the river by parties who were perfectly familiar with the surroundings as the place where it was found is a secluded one. The police are firm in their belief that the trunk was stolen from Bennitt’s house by persons acquainted with its interior, and the fact that the trunk contained a large amount of money. They are unable, however, to find even a clue that tends to fasten the guilt upon any one. Saturday night Bennett insisted a magistrate and make oath that they had nothing to do with taking the trunk. Chief Walsh accord- ingly rounded up eight of the boarders, all Hungarians, and took them before Justice Nelson. Each of the foreigners swore that they had nothing to do with the theft and this appeared to appeaseBennitt who is perfectly satisfied of their honesty. Several houses in the neighbor hood where Bennett resides were searched on Saturday afternoons but nothing that would shed aay light on the mystery was found. Bennett has offered a reward of $100 for the return of the money, and all the officers in the valley are working on the case, with but little hope of success.
