Two Hundred and Twenty Dollars
V.ugl,

Yesterday evening a farmer from
Collin county, near Plano, named h.
A. Housewright, who had brought In
u load OF cotton, disposed of 1t, and
took his team to the wagonyard where
he put up. Entering the store of NJ.
Lewis, which sits in one corner of the
yard, on Elm street, Il friend requested
him to loan him ten dollars, when
pulling out his pocketbook he gave
him the amount out OF one side OF the
book, having in the other two hun
bred and twenty dollars in roll, all
OF which were twenty dollar bills.
Having complied with his friends re-
quest he put his pocketbook In his
pocket and walked out in trent on the
street. Soon afterward having occa'
sion to look at 1t, he was amazed to
find the two hundred and twenty dol.
lars gone. A thorough search in the
store failed to find IL, He thinks that
the roll dropped out when he picked
the book up, and that some one in the
store found 1t and kept it.
