Eldora, Sept. 26.-Word comes here
from Hubbard that that town is all
stirred up over alleged misconduct of
it's postmaster. 1t appears that about
eight months ago a German bought a
postoffice order for twenty-five dollars
to send to his sick father in the old
country. 1t has recently been learned
that the order was not sent and that
about two weeks ago the postmaster
sold his COW and paid back the money.
In the meantime q former postmaster
and others got on to the story and
started an investigation. Last Friday
an Inspector was at Hubbard and made
an investigation, the result of which is
not yet made public but the general
impression Is that there will be a
change Already two petitions are be
ing circulated for the appointment as
soon as the other mans head drops.
