Contrary to the custom of most newspaper men he carried a grip with a change of clothing. The grip also contained a box of cigars. Some of the boys went down to the depot to see him off and while Burt was engaged in conversation the grip disappeared around a corner; he discovered his loss and arrived on the scene just as the marshal and sheriff were lighting fresh cigars and attempting to look innocent. Burt says it’s hard when the minions of the law conspire to rob a poor but honest newspaper man.
