Mail Robbery at Marvyille.

Captain ArhOlt, of the St. Joseph
Postofice, in company with a Deputy
United States Marshal, passed
through Savannah, on Monday last,
OH their way to Maryville, for the
purpose ~oftaking in custody Mr.. Zett.
Morgan, late Deputy Postmaster at
Maryville, TO whom had been traced
robDeries of the mail. The Nodaway
Democrat says for the past six months
registered letters containing money
have been lost, and the general conclu-
sion was that they were taken out at
the Maryville Office. Postmaster
Arnholt, of st Joseph, made a trip up
through the country OIL a tour of in
spection, and traced several lost reg
istered letters to Maryville. Suspi-
cion has rested OH Morgan for some
time, but no evidence could be obtain
ed sufficient to make an arrest, until
last Monday morning. Last week
Mr. Anderson, the Postmaster, put
up two packages of money in register
ed letters, taking the numbers of the
bills so that he could identify them.
The packages were left where Morgan
could find them, and on Sunday lie
went into the flee and took the mon
ey. When arrested on Monday the
money was found o III his person, and
he acknowledged the theft, but denied
ever taking any other money. There
have been about two thousand dollars
missed within the past six months,
and the probabilities arc that Morgan
got it.
Sheriff Wray made the arrest. On
Tuesday Deputy United States
Marshal took Morgan in custody, and
removedh him to St. Joseph. where he
will await the action of the United
States District Court.
