In the suburbs of Harrison, Mich.
was found a huge slate cosered me

fall, but the general impression pre-
walls that it fell from the recent

the $4,000 package Of Krountze Bros.

day and train by the express company
had also been stolen, was conclusive
that the thieves were employees of the
express company.
