From the Shell Rock Enterprise, Shell Rock, Iowa-- The post office at this place was broken into last night (Thursday) and between thirty and forty dollars worth of postage stamps taken, the contents of two registered letters abstracted and the mail generally "gone through". A number of letters containing deeds, mortgages and other valuable papers directed respectivly to County Recorder WILSON, G.M. CRAIG, J.W. DAVIS AND Butler CANTER were found near O.L. EASTMAN's blacksmith shop this morning, the thief or thieves probably having removed the money contents if any. Nothing is known as to who are the guilty ones, but suspicion points strongly toward a stranger who went south on the 1:30 train this morning.
