Robbed Him, Was Locked Up.

MONMOUTH, ILL, July I'll. R.
Thompson was arrested yesterday
charged with reatening the life of
b. T, o. Hubbard, ex-Cashier of the
defunct First National Bank. Thomp-
son left about $4,000 with Hubbard
for investment, and holds his receipt for
it; but the cash has evidently gone
with the vanished bank funds.
Thompson is paralytic and has
been hobbling around here for
several weeks making frequent calls at
Hubbard's residence, and has been prac-
ticing with his revolver, preparing to kill
Hubbard if he didn't refund the money.
Thompson was bound over to keep the
peace in the sum of $500, in default of
which he was taken to jail He did not
attempt to give bail, but said he wanted
to be locked up to show the people they
were mean enough to rob him and then
imprison him for attempting to recover
his money.

BALTIMORE, MD, July 2.-There has
been trouble in the Baltimore Post. office
for three weeks past, and it eliminated
yesterday, when two of the sureties for
Colonel Harrison Adreon, the Postmaster,
telegraphed to the Postmaster General at
Washington to be released from his
bond. The trouble began with the dis
covery of the defalcation of j. j. c.
Dougherty, Chief Clerk in the money or
der department, which was followed one
week later by the discovery that Charles
s. llemmick, Chief Separating Clerk, had
been for several months earring on sys.
tematic plan of robbing the mails.
Monday Postmaster Adreon filled the
place of the defaulting Dougherty by the
appointment of Chas. Clark, an outsider,
over the heads of the other Money Order
Clerks. This raised u row, and when the
Office opened yesterday morning c. j.
WEIGH and W. S. King, Second Assist
ant Money Order Clerks refused to 60
to work OH the ground that their salar-
les were too low, and that the new APP
pointee was dlstasteful to them. POST
master Adreon at once dismissed them,
and himself took charge of the office,
and with his Private Secretary issued
and paid all money orders that
day. WEIGH Is nephew Of G olds-
boro ugh :. Griffith, one OF the

relative of Solomon King, another bonds
man. Each Is on the bond for $4,000,

DENTISTRY EXTRAORDINARY.
a Big Brothers Appreciation of His Sis

- ~<AANAoN y w
CLEVELAND, o., July 2.-Louisa A,
Weber, twenty'slx years old, a month
ago had some teeth extracted by f. L
Hodges, a dentist with DR.. Ensign
Since the operation her mind has wan
dered, and among other pecullaritles she
has conceived the belief that some one
has a mesmeric control of her, and al
times says DR.. Hodges is the man She
further limited that he had insuted her,
Her elder brother, John, after the sn1
had gone down Monday evening, went to
Hodges office. He found Hodges in
and asked him if he had done
any work for his sister. Being
answered in the affirmative, he asked;
why did you wrong my sister?'
Interpreting the Doctors hesitation %
mean guilt, the brother hit him between
the eyes, and followed it up by Other
blows until the neighbors interfered
When again at liberty young Weber reap
peared at the office, but Hodges had gone.
This morning he made u second trip to
the scene with revolver in his pocket.
Hodges was still absent and is said to
have gone to Chardon where Dr.. Ensign
has been stopping for few weeks. DIR.
Wilder, the lady's physician says he
thinks the cause of the trouble is But
Imagination in the mind of the brother,
and his oyercoutidence in the wanderings
OF his sister. He clears DR.. Hodges
from more than indiscretlon in trying to
overcome his patients nervousness that
he might prosecute his work.
