PROTECTION.

NAIL BOXES UNDER UNCLE SANS
PROTECTION.
On Thursday or Friday evening Of
last week, some one on mischief bent,
flung a stone in Wood vile which de-
stroyed the door of Edwar Wilbur's
R. D. mail box. Such persons need to
read the following paragraph from the
Post Office Appropriation Bill: "Who-
ever shall hereafter wilfully or malic-
iously injure, tear down or destroy
any letter box or other receptacle es-
tablished by order of the P. M. Gen
eral or approved or designated by him
for the receipt or delivery of mail
matter on any rural free delivery route
or shall break open the same or wilful-
ly or maliciously injure, deface or de-
stroy any mail matter deposited there
in or shall wilfully take or steal such
matter from or out of such letter box
or receptacle or shall wilfully aid or
assist in any of the aforementioned
offenses, shall for every such offense
be punished by a fine of not more than
$1,000 or by imprisonment for not more
than three years." The above be-
came effective when the President Of
the United States signed the bill and
is now in full force. 1t is therefore
truly no light matter to tamper with
United States property and we hope
the boy or man who flung the stone
and all others unacquainted with the
seriousness of such offenses will read
the above.
