FORT WORTH, Texas, March 2S.-
The town is wild with excitement
over the arrest of Mrs. Belle Bur-
chard, postmistress of this place.
Two employees in the office aided in
bringing certain matters to the atten-
ton of the government, on which a
warrant was issued by a special post
office agent named Lucy. The mat
tiers are that she had been retaining
the mail and in other ways violating
rules of the department.. A specific
letter which was retained, was an
epistle written by Captain H. P.
Shiel of this city to a lady named
Mrs. Anna McMahon, residing at St.
