Aged rIail Carrier Kissing.

States Attorney VIM. S. Evans
and Sheriff j. Ross Conoly visited
Appleton, this county, last week to
investigate the mysterious disap-
pearance of John Murry, the aged
mail carrier between Appleton and
Barksdale, who left his home about
a month ago, after having his pen
sion check cashed in Elkton, and
since which time he has not been
seen or heard from. All the officers
could learn was that he made his
trip with the mail, accompanied by
his adopted son, as far as Banks
dale, on the morning he was last
seen. The boy said he told him
that he was going to Elkton to get
his pension check cashed. 1t is
reported that he bought a ticket
for Baltimore the same day at
ElktOn station, but no one remem-
bers seeing him board a train. He
was about eighty years of age, and
has an aged wife residing at Apple
ton, where he owns a small farm.
He has no children.
