Sheriff Dcvall, of Jones county, was
held up by three masked men on the
night OF the lst inst. in his Office at
the courthouse in Ellisville and forced
him to hand over the keys of the safe,
which they unlocked and took there
from $500 Of the %county's funds. Itoc-
ours to us that Mr.. Dcvall should have
deposited the money In the hank OF
his tt5Wn. The securities on the Shcr-
ifs bond have met and will arrange to
make the amount good. The story of
the robbery appears to be somewhat
tlshy, but we hope there is nothing
CROOKED" in the affair.
