Wednesday merning some tramps came
INTO the postoiice and told postmaster Mil
Ter that there was some mail on the ground
down near the coal pile. Miller went
down and discovered the remains Of nine
registered letters, which he had put in the
bag the night before, and the contents of
some eff them, including a watch and a
couple of checks. Miller says be made up
the mail as usual the night before, put the
registered mail in the pouch and took it
over to the depot. The night operator,
Sloan, says the pouch lay outside the
counter on the Office floor all night and
that he put it on the train in the morning,
and tine route agent telegraphed back that
the pouch was received all right. How
the letters got out Of the bag is at the
present writing a mystery. Just how
much money there was 10 the registered
letters is not known, but Postmaster Miller
says that he had $500 in gold IN one of
the packages, which he was renting to
AApuihNiNuC bA Luu uiOuc1 OIutL uCCuuils
This loss will fall on Miller. The mail is
handled in a very careless manner at the
depot, but whether this is the fault of the
rules of the department or of the railroad
or owing to the negligence of the
employees, the LIBERAL will not pretend
to say. However, it is q fact that the mail
is taken over to the depot about nine
o'clock and lies on the floor of the Office,
outside che counter and out Of the sigh;
Of the operator until the train comes.
There are liable to be a good many people
in the Office, and if any one should want
to cut the bag open the chances Of detec-
ton are in6ntesimul.
LATER-The bag has been discovered
.and has ten inch cut in it.

The shot, however, did no have the de-
sired result, as Smith continued to run.
Carroll now gave chase and being spry oil

and disheveled hair, his clothing ragged and
tattered, his eyes bleared and watery and
his nhole air that OF tn. lowest outcast, he

The Afternoon Session.

Argument on the question Of appeal op-
ened the afternoon session and, in fact,
kept the attention Of the court throughout
the remainder OF the day. Judge Knowles set
the ball rolling, claiming that the motion for
for appeal followed the laws of practice. He
quoted Wood on Mandamus. An examin-
alton OF the statute had convinced him
that it was not necessary to make any ar.
gument to the court or the pending of the
motion as q filing OF q bond was enough to
insure q stay OF proceedings. He would
withdraw the motion as the bond had been
fled.
At this point it was discovered, through
objections by opposing counsel, that no
bond had been fled, and Mr.. Campbell
asked, somewhat testify, why the clerk of
the court had not filed the bond; it had
been presented in due form. -,E
Clerk Clark explained that he had not
filed the bond because he understood that
there were objections to it, necessitating
argument.
Judge Kirkpatrick The filing O, the |
bond was exactly what we did object to-"
Mr.. Campbell replied and called down |
upon himself a rebuke from the court for |
presuming to censure al officer of the court.

duty the court would administer II. |
