Ellis was tried before Judge Morris on
Tuesday. He made confession. stated that
his home was in Sharptown, Wicomico coun.
ty, that he was ship carpenter, and destroyed
boxes on route No. /, in Dorchester county.
between Vienna and Walnut Landing, on Au-
gust %, 1902 In sentencing him Judge Nor
ris said
s'The offense of wantonly defacing and de.
stroying rural free delivery boxes is reported
to me-strange as it would seem to an ordinary
mind-to be not uncommon in country dis
tricts. 1t is an offense which brings great an
noyance to those depending ON the rural free
delivery for their letters, and is an outrageous
abuse Of property devoted to the convenience
of the public. The penalty prescribed by the
act of Congress may be fine of $1,000 OF
three years Imprisonment. In any cases that
come before me after this warning shall fee
it my duty to deal severely with the culprit.
As this is the first case brought before me, and
the offender has pleaded guiliya and expressed
contrition, he will be let off with fine OF $25,
but future cases will be dealt with severely. "

Knocked Down a Mail Box

LAUREL, DEL, Oct. 13.-Laurel was one of
the three first stations in the United States
selected by the Government to experiment
with rural delivery. 1t has been looked after
with motherly affection, and has grown:
Three weeks ago one box was found knocked
over. Suspicion pointed TO James Ellis,
grown son of a farmer. About this time a
seedy looking stranger secured work in fac
tory where Ellis worked. The two men be-
came confidential friends Friday last the
mail box subject came up, and Ellis said he
kicked the thing over in spirit of fun, but
that Uncle Sam would never know it. The
next day the stranger left, but was followed
by United States Marshal, who took Ellis
to Baltimore. This is the first arrest made
by the Government for tampering with rural
mail boxes.
