d. j. lille.

In the case wherein the q. s. is plain
tiff, was, at the continued trial at this
place last Tuesday, bound over to appear
before the o. 8. grand jury at Leaven-
worth in October next.
Mr.. lille, as we have stated before, is
charged with having riled registered
letters while he was assistant to Post
master Ufford at this place last winter.
When we say that Mr.. Hille's standing
as a man, combined with the fact that
not q point was made in substantiation
Of the charge that he was the one who
had riaed the letter, caused the labor of
the prosecution to fall with exceeding
fairness.
However, the counsel for the defense
requested Commissioner Henkel to bind
Hille over, stating as a reason for the re-
quest that Assistant District Attorney
Hagan, while here at the first examina-
ton, made the boast that If lille was dis
charged at the continued examination
that of last Tuesday-he would be re-
arrested on the same charge and taken
before the commissioner at Topeka for
examination.
The bond required was $1,000. It was
furnished promptly.
