THIEF CUNNlNGLY CAUGHT.
A Railroad Man Robbed Mails In Kan

Eureka, Kas. Oct 31.-About a year
ago j. w. Weatherford was night
agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad
here. For some time letters containing
money and drafts had been missing
from the mails and no clue could be
obtained as to where they disappeared.
Finally Weatherford left the country
rather unceremoniously and from that
time the thieving stopped. 1t was
learned that the drafts stolen were
cashed in Georgia and other southern
points, and that Weatherford had come
from the south.
Postoffice Inspector j. l.. Stice went
to Georgia and Alabama. He located
Weatherfords relatives, but could find
no trace of Weatherford. He finally
got trace of man giving his name as
j. w. Ford. Stice found him at last
with his family in a log cabin in the
Mountains of Georgia He confessed
and told of conspiracy to rob mails.
Weatherford had secured key to
the mail pouches from his brother-in-
law, L. L. Denny, who was postmaster
at town in Kentucky. With this key
Weatherford had opened the mail sacks
while in his charge and had sent the
drafts to his relatives in the south to
be cashed. Among the drafts cashed
by this fence in the south was one for
$343 on its way to w. S. Metcalf, of
Lawrence. Weatherford and L. T..
Denny, the Kentucky postmaster, are
in Jail at Paola and another Denny is
out on bond,

West of the Santa Fe believes that he
will have all the new steel rails laid on
the Hutchinson branch by November
10. There will then be little surfac-
ing and general cleaning up, but he
is confident that by the first of the COM
ing year. the Hutchinson branch will
be in excellent shape. When it is COM
pleted, it will be one of the finest pieces
of track in the entire system, with the
exception, perhaps, of that part which
is rock ballasted.
