Winterquarters--The post office was robbed of $655 by bandits according to a report to Denver Police.
The postmaster at the time was my Grandfather, Nicholas Peter Pettersson. There actually wasn't any confrontation with bandits. The money simply turned up missing. Nicholas and the family had to work extra hard to pay the money back. A co-worker was suspected.
