kune went off on some sort of cele-

Mckune was unable to account for
their loss. The matter was reported to
Chief McAndrew, who at the time was
unable to locate the articles. because
of MckuneS lack of knowledge as to
how he parted with them. Some one,
however. found the coat and the watch
and kept possession of them in the hope
of locating the unfortunate loser. Sur
missing that the chief would be able to
locate the party. he brought the coat

money orders being payable only at
tho offices to which they are made
payable. 1t is simply a return To the
system that WAS III vogue before March

to bc made.
The reason for the change is due to
the fact that the comptroller of the
treasury has decided that the postal
authorities misintcrproted the law
whom they decided that orders were
payable at any office. regardless of
