Posi- OFFICE, Troy, Mo. !
Nav. 13. 1879 I


Mr.. Editor: In the Dispatch of the
3Oth ult. there appeared an editorial
which reflects serious charges upon this
office. went to the editor of said pa
per and requested him to correct it,
which he promised to do with pleasure"
but which bo failed to do. It is true
he clears me Of all blame in his last
article, but throws it upon persons for
whose acts an held responsible. He
says, "We expressly stated that VIC did
not know where the fault was it is im
possible that We should know" After
wards: "This we do know: most of the
mistakes complained of occurred in his
absence whether they occurred here or
elsewhere we know not" Now it is
plain that had they occurred anywhere
else, my absence would have had nothing
to do with it.
The facts in the case are just these
On the day that he says he sent pack
age to this Office, it was brought here by
a boy, about noon, after the mail for
Wentzvilo had been closed, the boy say.
lug that he wanted the package to 60 off
in "to days mail Mr.. Ellis, who was
staying while was gone to dinner, know
ing that no other mail left after that time
Of day, unlocked the mail bags, as we
frequently have to do. for that paper
and put the package in the mail without
looking at tho address, supposing from
what the boy said, that it was to 90 to
the railroad. he package should have
gone to Truxton. 1t did not return un.
til it was too late for the Truxtcn mail.
The editor of the Dispatch, upon in
quiry into the matter, found out all
about it. Mr.. Ellis says he told him
exactly how it occurred, consequently he
must have known, before going to press,
that the package was not "kept out of
the mail bags" here, or that it was not
taken out by the postmaster at Hawk
Point. l make this statement to relieve
the postmaster at Hawk Point of the
charge, as we'll as myself.
The editor speaks of the Irregularities
of the mails, and says that his mails are
delivered regularly every week at this
office. In regard to this must say the
reverse. His paper has been published
very irrceularly, as the subscribers OF
Troy can testify; and since he com
menced to publish it, it has failed several
weeks to come out, and on more than one
occasion several days behind time. Ow-
ing to his having the outside Of his sheet
printed in Chicago, he had to change
his day Of publication, and failed to gel
out bis paper that week also.
| do not deny that l make mistakes as
wei! as every other postmaster, but am
not content to have errors tiat are caused
by the care!essness Of others charged
upon me and other postmasters. Every
day brings letters and papers here that
should 60 elsewhere.

Our FINANCIAL STATUS ABROAD
Mr.. Walker, Of the Missouri aud Iowa
construction company, in a conversation
with Judge Ingram one day this week,
said that the financial condition of Lin.
coin county is better than that of any
other county in the state. He went to
bond broker Of St Louis to inquire into
the value and standing of our bonds, and
was told that they command a higher
price than any county bonds on the
market. On being asked why this was
the case, the broker replied, that the
financial affairs of this county were the
best managed in the state, and that
Cooper county was the next best.
Another incident also speaks we'll for
the confidence reposed In us from home.
Aa Eastern banker somo time since in
vested in about $4,000 worth of our
bonds, and took them East, where he
realized neat little profit. Encouraged

was in town last Wednesday evening stop
ping at the Jewell House, and sold some
goods here. Yesterday, at the Jewell House,
he took out his revolver. and while putting
it in order, remarked to the lanlord that
he did not like to carry it; but he had been
followed by two suspicious looking men.
Alb ut seven O'Clock last evening he went

A SHORT time ago there was consid-
erable excitament in Hebron over the ex-
posure of case of rape committed on
young girl of the village, by one Murry.
The facts as given US oy Mr. Cleaveland,
one OF the attorneys for the prosecution,
are briefly these: About the 1st of March
last two girls, sisters, whose names we
suppress, aged IL and 15years, were board
ing with Murry During the absence of
Mrs. NJ. on visit, the sisters induced
another young girl to remain with them
over night, a, in the course of the even
ing the man Murry produced a bottle of
wine, and persuade the girls to drink
quite freely, the result being the drugged
liquor soon rendered them incapable of
offering resistance. While in this condi-
ton Murry accomplished the ruin of the
elder stst r. What renders the crime
more aggravating is that the pir Is of
unsound mind, caused by sickness. He
afterwards threatened the girls with death
if they ever breathed a word of the
nights transaction. The facts became
known soon after, he fed to Huntington,
this State, where he formerly resided.
A warrant for his arrest was procured
and he was brought b ck to Heborn for
trial. The case was heard before Justice
Paramour, Cleaveland, and Horine prosecu-
ting, and Col. Milligan, of Knights of the
Golden Circle notoriety, defending the
criminal. Murry was held to bail in the
sum of $500, which he has sincC forfeited
by seeking a more congenial climate.
