Railway Mail Service Notes.

The railway mail clerks say that Super
intendent o. L. Teachout originated the
idea of the present Mexican mail service,
and that it is due to his efforts that this
improved system has been inaugurated.
Since the improved service between the
United States and Mexico the mail has
greatly increased, and Chief Clerk Lip
pold has found it necessary to put on two
helpers on the line between Eagle Pass
and Rarwood. They are Gus Lyland
and Hugh L. Cresswell, formerly substi-
tutes.
Chief Clerk Lippold received a Ratchet
this morning In the mails which has been
all over the United States, and is sent
from one place to another. Attached to
the Ratchet are tags, showing every place
it has been received. 1t is TO be used for
killing train robbers and Indians with,
and from appearances it ought TO have a
great record. Lip will send the little
Ratchet onward.
