On Wednesday, the 1lth inst. the day
of Barnum's show in this city. the post Of,
fee in Moline was robbed of considera-
BILE sum Of money and several hundred
dollars worth of stamps.
A fellow named Benson was chased out
of the Office and at last correlled in hard
ware store with the stamps. He probably
passed the money to confederate as he
ran out. He was held by Justice Mapes
in the insignificant sum of $500 bail, for
want of which he was sent to Jail. The
lenient course Of Mapes provoked good
deal of comment at the time, but that has
now been cast in the shade by two Rock
Island magistrates letting the thief out on
straw bail"
Saturday morning last there arrived in
this city three men who came for the pur-
pose of getting Bensen released. They en-
ployed Beardsley & Kenworthy to assist
them. One of the parties claimed to be a
brother of Benson; another called his
name Fitzsimmons, and the other Mahyon,
and all claimed to be from Chicago. They
were busy all day arranging for the release
of Benson, Fitzsimmons having been
brought along to sign the bend. He is
said to be saloon keeper in Chicago, and
said he had recently lost some money by
going on a bond and the prisoner skip
ping out. And yet he seemed willing to
lose more in the same way. He said he
had no ready cash, but he had watch and
chain worth $500 (probably pinchbeck and
worth $5)which he would put up as security.
1t was declined. Further caucussing took
place. Justices Cooke and Cropper were
called to Beardsley & Kenworthy's office
to pass upon bond offered for his release,
man named Hugh P. Muldon being Of.
seIred, about 4 P. NJ. as security. Mul
don was sworn and testified that he was
foreman in Hills Malleable Iron Works
Moline; that he owned real estate, mort
cages, and judgments in Chicago, worth
from $4,000 to $4,000, He was accepted
on that statement and the prisoner lie
loose. He made tracks with Johnny Nc
Ginnis ond others for the other side of tn
