to unit. Cassesse said he had S160 of
money belonging to Barber, and he
asked Campbell to continue at work
and he would pay him out of the money
he had in hand. When the work was
completed the money In Oassesse's
hands was not sufficient to pay Camp
boll the entire amount coming to him,
and he sued for the balance. The court

Are Not Mall Soxes,
Tho polilce say that a great many peo.
pin mistake tho waste paper cans on
tho various street corners ror mall boxes
and drop parcels Intended ror delivery by
Uncle Bam Into them, Patrolman Con
pery noticed a man drop two boxes Into
the can ut the corner of Lackawanna
and Wyoming avenues on Sunduy, He
thought at llrst that they were empty,
but the thought came to him that the
man might have mbtaken the tin re
ceptacle for a mall box, and he Investi
gated. He discovered two boxes or
cigars packed up and addressed to two
parties In Wllkes-Barrc. It Is reasonable
ta presume that many people liavo been
similarly mistaken and that the loss of I
ninny packuges can bo accounted for In I
Hits w:iy. I
this way.
