Local arrest for mail robbery shocks Willingham scene
The Willingham Pioneer notes that David A. Burton postmaster and former paper publisher was arrested for robbing the mail of two gold watches sent from the city to John L. Wilson of Willingham. The watches were found on Burton. He heads toward Alton after a brief jail stay. Also reported is the drowning of William Oyster in Rock River while crossing in a small boat with three companions. Oyster drowned, others clung to bridge piles, and his death leaves a wife and several children. The notice also promotes Thos George & Co. Chicago for brass finishing and tinware with a large stock and samples for spring trade.
