listened attentively and respectfully to the
story just told, but was free to admit that
he had been besieged by a temptation to

the story itself may have been lacking in

..I can tell you a story which has never
been made public before, and 1t is very
romantic one. I was sent down into the
moonshine districts of one Of the southern
states to work up what appeared to be a
systematic robbing of the mails. In that
district the mail was carried on a circuit,
taking in several little mountain post offices
and crossroads hamlets: The mail was
transported on horseback by three different
men on the route, and after experimenting
with a number of deeoy letters I conclud-
ed that the stealing was being done by one
of these carriers.

A TALE FROM TEXA S

Wire Fence.
A New Omcfaps Experience With q
That Was BADLY Misplaced.

Texas Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat.
A few years ago one of the leading citf-
zens of Buster City. the county seat Of
Buster county, Texas, got on a big drunk,
began to shoot UP things and raise Old
Nick generally. Even in those days this
sort of thing had gone out of fashion, and
the county sheriff attempted to arrest the
disturber. Result: The sheriff killed the
leading citizen, and the leading citizen
killed the sheriff, causing vacancy in the
sheriff's Office. This brought along a new
sheriff and a new deputy sheriff.
The deputy was good man and brave
man. He knew how to use gun. and had
the melt to dc so If necessary. He had the
reputation of being a man with whom 1t

MARSHAL NIX'S WORK.

The NewlxirlS Democrat says; While
in Guthrie last week we had very
pleasant chat with United States Mar
shall Nix. We found him a very genial
gentleman aud obtained much valua-
bic information concerning this i'm
portant Office. Mr.. Nix employs from
100 to $50 deputy marshals on his force,
aside from large force of office clerks
and book keepers. We were shown
through his Offices, allowed TO look at
the rogues gallery of pictures and
gwen an escort through the federal
lail, all of which was very interesting.
On the subject of disreputable
and disorderly deputies, MIR. Nix said
that two qualifications were re.
quired of all his deputies which were
sobriety and honesty, and violation
of either rule was punished by dis
missal lie said he was obliged "a
make frequent changes, and that Il
was his ambition TO please the people
and his department at Washington
| lie said there was never a complaint
made TO his Office which was not fully
| investigated Immediately and he was
always pleased to look into complaints
made against his deputies, and IL pos
sible improve the service. We believe
that any disorderly act on the part of
deputy, IL promptly reported, will
receive the attention of Mr.. Nix.
