preme Court to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt
for failure to turn over to George
Carr, his successor. in office, certain
records belonging to said Office, after
che court had ordered him to do SO.
The hearing was set for last Monday.
Mr.. Letcher, accompanied by his at
torney, Judge p. T. Eversole, went to
Jefferson City Monday to be present
at the hearing. The county was repre-
sented in the matter by Hons. M. E.
Rhodes, s. G.. Nipper and Collector
George Carr, who also were at Jeffer-
son City on that date. However, on
their arrival there it was found that
the court had set the time for the
hearing on a national holiday
Memorial Day-and consequently the
court was not in session on that day.
So the case was continued. The at
torneys~iled their briefs in the case

will render its decision in a few days.

The post-ofice at Vulcan, in the
south end of the county, was burglar
lied Sunday night. Monday morning
a blood hound was brought from Pop
lar Bluff TO try and trail the burglars,
but the dog could not get on the scent.
Constable Luther Daniels of Des Arc
then took the matter in hand and soon
learned enough to convince him that
Benson Huddleston, son of j. P. Hud-
d%leston, who lives near Vulcan, was
implicated in the affair. The officer
learned that young Huddleston had
gone to Annapolis and followed him
there, taking him in custody when he
boarded the train, bound for Bismarck.
Huddleston was brought to Ironton on
train % Tuesday and lodged in jail.
Vincent Sutton, postmaster at Vulcan,
says that about $3.50 in cash and checks
were taken from the Vulcan post
office; Huddleston was searched and
1856, 80 fonnd. He at once admitted his
guilt. Mr.. Daniels thinks Huddleston
had a confederate, but this the latter
denies. The prisoner is nineteen
years of age and has lived with his
parents, near Vulcan, for two years or
more. He will be turned over to the
federal authorities for prosecution.
Constable Daniel is to be congratu-
lated for his prompt and intelligent
work in the premises.
