A Curious Case.

First Assistant Postmaster General Jones had a curious case before him the other day. It was the claim of the family of a postmaster in a Western town for s2llO. It appears that while the postmaster was making up his money order account and had that amount of money before him which he was preparing to send to the proper authorities,he was stricken with paralysis, and the money was taken by a burglar. Mr. Jones, who has spent some time in Chicago, said that perhaps the postmaster was sandbagged, and the money secured in that way. At all events, he concluded that the money had been lost through no fault of tjlie postmaster, and he allowed the account. i.
