IL. Meanwhile Mr.. Webster and his man
were thoroug ghly searching along the track
aud hndiny more Or less letters. Thev
went nearly to Barton Landing. IT
app sars that one of the early morning
trains going nocth picked up the mail
pouch, after it was knocked down by train
No. 4, and carried 1t some distance. Later
the way freight picked it up again and
cirried 1t to Barton Ian ling, as when it
reachad that place a plckage of letters
broken open was found on the pilot. A
miielgs was found on o. FL. Hawkins
far n ana two othsc mlleages nearer
Barton. FL. s. Webster cana to Barton
aud brought the letters and pouch. The
track was gone over four times aud the
most thorough search made; aud as there
had been no storm it Is thought all the
letters were recovered. Many of them
were badly muttlated, but Mr.. Webster
thinks nearly every one of the letters will
safely reach either thu parties addressed OF
the parties who wrote them No blame is
attached to any one; but the machinery
for catching the mail pouch seems no. to
have been perfectly adjusted.
