and he is the cause Of the petitions

RECEIVES CONSCIOUS, MONEY.
Former Monrovia Postmaster Get
Checks Taken From Store.


Atchison. March 5.-An unusual
case was tried In the city court here
when E. E. Bowen of Monrovia, sued
William Henderson for $50 and receiv-
ed judgment and the money.
In March 1918, someone entered the
Bowen store at Monrovia and escaped
with $50 in cash and checks. Bowen
never learned who the thief was, but
a few days after the theft was COM
mitted he received an anonymous let
ter and the checks. The letter was
mailed at Monrovia. Later, Bowen
sold the store to Henderson and came
to Atchison.
On November 1, 1918. Henderson
received an anonymous letter directed
to the Monrovia postmaster. which
title Bowen held before he sold the
store to Henderson. On succeeding
Bowen as storekeeper, Henderson also
became postmaster. In the anonymous
letter was $50. The $50 presumably
was sent by the store robber. who had
grown conscience stricken, and so the
court decided.
