sharp Deceive Work.

| About three weeks ago Mrs. M E. Graham,
| who keeps fancy goods store on Congress
street, notified Marshal Bridges that some ten
days before she had lost valuable gold watch
on Paris street. She had not advertised it for
some reason and had no clew to who had
found it. The Marshal took the case. and
although it seemed hopeless one, went to
work at il. By diligent search, occupying
several days, he discovered that it had been
picked up by lady dressed in black. A person
who had seen her when she found it heard her
say that she boarded with newspaper re-
porter, and would get him to advertise it.
This was all the clew the Marshal could get
for some time. At last, after going over half
the city, he found that the lady had stopped at
the Preble House before going to her boarding
house. Here he found the name of the lady
who found the watch and at last discovered
the name of the boarding house. The reporter
was sought and remembered that there had
been such lady boarding where he was STOP
ping, but she had left and he had not been
asked to advertise any watch and knew nothing
about the affair. The Marshal then visited
the landady, and learned that several weeks
previous wealthy lady with her daughter,
hailing from Pittsburg, had obtained board at
her house. One day when the two returned
from walk the lady remarked that she had
found a watch. and she should ask the reporter
to advertise it. Nothing more was said about
the matter, and on Monday, the Both ult., the
lady complained of being ill and said she
guessed she would start for home, and accord
ingly started for Boston. She left word to have
her letters sent to Boston. This was all the
clew the Marshal could get to her whereabouts.
At his suggestion the landlady addressed
letter to the traveller, saying two letters were
awaiting her, (Which was fact) and asked
where they should be sent. A telegram was
soon received, asking that the letters be sent to
Columbus. Ohio. Upon the receipt of this
information, Marshal Bridges sent telegram
to the Chief of Police Of that city, stating the
facts and giving the address of the lady.
Yesterday he received an answer, saying
that the watch had been recovered and had
been expressed to this city. Whether the lady
intended 10 steal the watch is rot known, but
her conduct in leaving the city SO suddenly,
when she had arranged to stay several weeks, is
suspicious to say the least and she gave
Marshal Bridges many days of as hard work
as he ever performed.
