TIED ROPE TO PRISONER.
But The Deputy Lost Him and Now
Loses His Mileage

But the Deputy Lost Him and Now
Loses His Mileage.
Comptroller TraceweH Of the Treasury
received a rather unique request, today,
calling upon him to decide whether a
deputy United States Marshal, who al
lowed a prisoner to escape, should be
paid his travelling expenses.
The request came from United States
Marshal Dockery, OF Raleigh. n. c., who
wrote:
My deputy, S. L. Gibson, at Weldon,
made an arrest and was conveying his
prisoner to the Commissioner for hear
ing. On the way he was compelled to
leave his buggy and go aside short dis
lance. He had the defendant tied and
had enc end Of the rope IL his hand The
defendant jeTked the rope from him and
made his escape. It was about o'clock
at night and very dark. He writes to
know whether he would be entitled to
mileage endeavoring for the arrest and for
the transportation he had made From
the deputy's statement believe it was
necessity for him to leave his buggy and
that he used all the means at hand for
preventing an escape
u would thank you for an opinion as to
whether an account for this arrest and
service should be allowed by me in the
payment of this deputy's accounts
Mr. TraceweH held that the deputy was
not entitled to fee or mileage as charged
5y him, -'inasmuch as the warrant was not
n fact executed by the production OF the
prisoner for examination, whether through
me fault Of the deputy or not, is imma-

The correcting Of the water lists by IN

lots causes some friction between the De

of the owner an examination was made
later and the frontage reduced to twenty
feet. IN the inspection and measurement

This is the time of the year when happy
childhood, that part OF humanity which
still lives under the innocent delusion

on Christmast Eve is filled with toys,
candies, nuts, and apples by Santa Claus,
foods the mail with letters addressed to
Kris KringIe, telling this important and
mysterious parsonage how good the ap-
pIieant was during the past year and
what the writer would like to have for a
Christmas present
These missives, as q rule, are deposited
in the mail boxes by the children them
selves without the knowledge of their
parents, and the consequence is that
many of the requests are simply ad-
dressed to Mr.. Santa Claus, in this
city" and lack the necessary postage
stamps to carry them to their destina-
ton. These young letter writer's in their
anxiety TO make sure of Santa Claus re-
ceiving their letters, pick up old and
used stamps and paste them on the en-
Telope, thinking that everything is all
right and that '-(i,i Sanity will get it.
