ONE OF THE BOYS.
How a Texas Postmaster Raised the
Wind to Have a Good Time.

1870 w AAoNO % SOOo
Schemes for robbing the govern -
ment are plentiful, but one of the
most unique perhaps that has been
put into operation for some time,
has just come to light down in
Texas.
Uncle Sam did not pay one of his
fourth class postmasters in a little
village in the Lone StarsState suffi-
Gent money to pay his bills
and have surplus with which
to go out with the boys, at night.
A friend of the genial postmaster
was in the same financial pre-
dicament, so they decided to make
the government furnish enough
coin with which life could be made
worth living. They couldn't tap
the tills of the office, because the
receipts were too low, neither
could they steal stamps, because
they We're allowed too few. 1t was
finally decided that the money or
der system was the best thing to
tackle in order to, get funds, and
accordingly the postmaster issued
81 orders for 800 each to his
friend, payable at a neighboring
office. The friend had them cash
ed, and for few weeks both lived
high.
q Now the question arose how to
cover their tracks. The wits of
the two criminals were put to
work, and it was settle that they
should buy the star route in that
section, subsidize the mail mes
senger and have a "hold-up," after
which the postmaster would be
able to say that the money in pay
ment of the orders was taken from
the mailbag. The program was
carried out. The messenger was
held up and came to town telling
, Of his loss, and the postmaster
swore that he had placed the mon
ey for the payment of the orders in
the mailbag.
The postoffice department be-
came suspicious and sent a special
agent down there, which resulted
in the capture Of the postmaster
and his accomplice-Washingto
Star.
