Mr.. Kit Atkinson furnishes something
of an explanation Of the mysterious box
of watches and iewelry found in thu
abandoned grave yard at the head o
Seventeenth street a week ago. During
the year 1857 Mr. Atkinson resided in th,
neighborhood of the discovery of the box
and his wife awakened him one night anG
told him there was light in the grave
yard. The first and very natural con-
clusion was that grave robbers were al
work, and Mr.. Atkinson dressed and
went over to the grave yard, but the men
had fled and no traces of disturbance OF
any of the graves where the light had
been seen being found no further
attention was paid the matter. Mr.. Att
kinson remembers now that about the
same time Hakes & Riggs jewelry store
was burglarized and putting this and that
together he believes the light in the grave
yard that night was held by the burglars
while they were depositing their hidden
treasure, to be found thirty seven years
afterWard.

Domestic Troubles.

Mr.. r. L. Nichols, of Davenport, has
caused to be inserted in the columns of
the Chicago papers notice which reads:
Il will pay no bills contracted by my
wife DR.. Stella B. Nichols" Mrs. Dr.
Nichols practiced medicine in Davenport
for some time and was member of the
Eastern Iowa, and Western Illinois med
ical society. A short time ago she went
to Chicago and hung out her shingle.
Her husband objected as he had a more
lucrative position in Davenport than he
could get in Chicago and he demanded
that she return to him in Davenport.
He is making a good salary as foreman
in planning mill-enough to support her
happily-but she was ambitious to pur
sue her profession in Chicago and de-
clined to return. The consequence is
their home has been ruined they have
grown apart and proceedings for di-
vorce on the famous Chicago style are
likely to follow, and then additional
facts may be brought out. 1t is the sad
breaking up of once happy home.
