of flames.

the city lying west of Frank

JUDGE WEIGH ARRIVES
viii Convene Special Session of Court
HEvidenee Justifies to Try Negro
Raiders.

Judge Stanley WEIGH arrived by

pose of looking into matters

rage, and viii be here the remainder
of the week. The Judge expects
to return to Corpus Monday, unless
sufficient evidence be obtained and
arrests made in connection with

Fined By Postal Department.

The Yoakum Herald reports the
following case:
Postmaster J. NJ. Clark has re-
ceived instructions to collect SO
from a certain gentleman of this
city for enclosing a note in a
package that was mailed as mer-
chandise. Merchandise composed
the bulk of the package, but the
placing of a note with it raises the
contents to first class. This is a
mistake that many people make,
and when it is reported by anyone
the sender is liable for fine of
SO or more. In this case the
matter must have been reported by
the postmaster at the destination
and the matter was placed in the
hands OF a postal inspector by him,
resulting in the instruction being
sent to Postmaster Clark TO collect
the minimum fine of SO without
going TO the expense of cost.
