by Assistant Postmaster General
Charles X. Gardener on James MiiIiken.
postmaster at Tuscarora, Pa, in favor
of David Kyle.
A local bank presented this old draft
for payment and got its money. II is
supposed that the draft has been living
forgotten somewhere all these years.
Mr.. Kram looked through many old
and musty files before he could verify
the Indebtedness Of the Government.
But the old and almost forgotten files
disclosed the fact that David Kyle car
ried the mails once q week from Selin' q
Grove through ten Intermediary VIII
lagos to Fannettsburg. Pa, and was
paid for this service at the rate of
$5.67 week.
The Government contracted this debt
to Kyle five years before the depart

upon the debt the office Of Auditor for
