A Crooked Postmaster.

J.J. Mcbride, postmaster at Living
ston, Mont, left without stating his des-
tination. 1t now transpires that he is a
defaulter to the government to the amount
of several hundred dollars. besides owing
private Indebtedness to large amount.
Other acts of financial crookedness are
being discovered. He was recently in
Helena. from which place a number of
checks with Helena indorsers have been
received at the National Park bank Of
Livingston. Efforts are being made by his
bondsmen for his apprehension and arrest.
His wife. who i, at the Catholic academy,
educating herself in music and art, alleges
that he cruelty mistreated her, and she will
sue for a divorce. He was appointed by
the present administration q little over q
year ago. 1t is believed he is making for
the Canada line. The authorities and the
victims of his bogus checks are making
efforts to effect his capture, but he has a
good start. and it is doubtful if he will be
oyerhauled. The amount of his defalca-
ton as postmaster will foot up $500 or
800, and he undoubtedly obtained as
much as that from the various citizens in
Helena on forged checks.

Chicago. where he still remains. At in

wounding Millard Bailey. Wilson gave
himself up, but what he outcome will yet
be is only a matter of conjecture.
