Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson, Missouri WEDNESDAY, 29 MARCH 1888 The contest for the postoffice at House's Springs is getting to be a serious affair. Last week the postmaster, I.E.C. WILSON, was arrested by a U.S. Marshal, and taken to St. Louis to answer to a charge of demanding and receiving an illegal fee in a pension case. Wilson assisted a man named HENSON, in proving up his claim and getting his pension, and was paid a large amount out of the first payment HENSON received. WILSON claims that the money paid him by HENSON was not in the nature of a fee at all, but was a return of money advanced and paid out from time to time for HENSON. HENSON puts quite a different phase upon the matter, and people are divided, each side believing just what they would prefer should be true. Sent in by Charlotte M. Maness Desoto Joe/The Record Man
