who Will Find the $500 To-Day?

VINO VIII Eiuu the SOUO TO-Days
Is a question more easily asked than answered
It Will probably be known by nine o'clock to-
night. II was halfpast eight last night before II
was found and then to the surprise of quite a
coffee, and the name of the lucky finder is N. @.
Summerield, chief clerk Railway Mail Service,
coin, and the clerk that sold It TO Mr.. S.
was the most excited chap that has been in
our employ for long time All of the clerks
times during the day " a false alarm " was started
when 500 or $50 or 500 was found rs 1t was be.
lieyed in each instance Il was the $500, but il was
not. We wish to say that one Christian Bleih,
steward at the Soldiers Home, was reported one
day last week as having found 500 in q can. In
fact, Il was much smaller amount. The writer
or the compositor made the error. At any rate IL
was a mistake. We wish right here TO correct g.
1t is not our wish or desire TO mako any false rep
rescntAtOns.
