Stolen JeweIry Recovered.
Last May the store Of Parrish &
Evans, at Nevada, was burglarized and
robbed of several hundred dollars
worth of iewelry. Search was made at
the time for the stolen goods and the
robber, but no trace could be had Of
either. A few days ago Mr.. Mckay
was walking through skirt of woods
in the southwest part of town with his
g., car-old son. The little fellow called
his fathers attention to a glittering
heap of something, which, upon ex-
animation, proved to be about half
peck of jewelry, which had been
dumped out upon the ground Marshal
Hiu was notified, and the find placed in
his possession. There were nearly 800
pieces. among them many gold pens,
gold rings, pins, charms and chains.
Tie goods were fully identified by Par
rish & Evans as some of those stolen
from their store last May. The little
boy was paid S25 for his find.
