About two months ago there hoated
through the newspapers an item to the
effect that Anna Chute, workwoman in
the paper mill of the George w. Wheel
wright Paper company at North Leo
minister, in this state, had found $500 In
a bale of paper sto,k which she was en- :
gagged in sorting. The money was in two
treasury notes, $1,000 and $500 respective
ly, of the first issue. On tracing the
matter it was found that the bale, which
was mostly writing paper. was one of a
lot bought In New York. There was
abundant evidence in the papers that
they had come from q certain New York
city bank, and correspondence was at
once begun with that bank with view
to determining the question If the money
belonged to the institution. Asked if the
bank had met with any loss, the reply
came that since the bank was chartered,
many years ago, but one loss had oc-
Cured, and that was in the autumn of
1873, when $500 had disappeared from
teller's tray and had never been found.
Suspicion had rested all these years on
several employees of the bank. They
could not be proved guilty of the specu-
lation, nor would it have been possible
for them to establish their innocence had
they been charged with the robbery of
the missing money. It was the hope Of
the officers of the bank that the money
found in the paper mill should be
proved to belong to the bank, as the in
nocence of the suspected persons would
thereby be demonstrated.
It came out, on making q thorough
investigation, that room used by the
bank for storing account books and other
nearly useless matter representing old
transactions had become so crowded and
crammed with the accumulation that
orders had been given to the janitor to
dispose of the papers that had lain there
longest. Accordingly the janitor on
May 80, Decoration Day-the time being
chosen as one when the business could
be attended to most conveDiently-had
thespapers packed up and taken away by
the porters of firm who dealt in paper
stock. The books of the firm showed
that this was the OILY stock taken in on
that day that it was Immediately baled,
marked, and numbered, and shipped to
North Leominister. There was no longer
doubt that the money found in the mill
belonged to the bank, and the notes
were therefore surrendered few days
ago. The bank officers, fully appre-
ciatiug all the circumstance governing
the case, have rewarded the lucky finder
with gift of $300.-Boston Transcript,
