Runtinp Held for Court,

Deputy United States Marshal James H.
Clark arrived here last evening with Mer-
ri!l Bunting of Bunting, Sussex county.
He was arraigned before Commissioner
Smith and waived hearing for court. He
was hold in $500 bail.
Bunting is the postmaster at the place
named for him not far from Selbyville. 1t
is a fourth -class post office and in such
Offices tho postmaster is paid for the num-
ber of stamps cancelled. He receives 100
rer cent. for the first hundred dollare'
worth, 60 per cont. for the second. 90 for
the third, 40 for the fourth and above that
number. 1t Is alleged that Bunting who
kept store. paid bills in postage stamps
and then made false returns to the govern-
ment of the number Of stamps cancelled.
II 10 against thu law for postmaster TO
pay bills in postage stamps or to make
false returns of the number of stamps cap-
celied. The result Of Bunting's alleged
offense would have been to increase his
compensation as postmaster. The offense
Ia alleged to have been committed on
April 8, 1850, and at other times between
January 1, 1890 and July 10. 1899. The
postmaster made proper returns of the
stamps sold and the trouble was wholly
with the cancellation.

was at the head Of the Tlnana Mining
Company, comprising twelve men, who
went into the Klondike equipped to
build bridges and engage IN other work of
o similar nature. The last letter received
