There was quite a row in q house on

A diamond ling was the cause OF little
trouble on Branch avenue yesterday to the
police and some other parties. A young
man, at whose house there are visitors,
took ring belonging to one OF the latter
TO show to friend OF his, who keeps a
barber shop. He endeavored to hand the
ring TO the man who keeps the shop, but
third party jumped for the ring and
there was sort OF scramble in which the
ring disappeared. The young man and the
barber did not know what to do. and as
the ring was not only costly one, but
also possessed special value for the owner.
The former was very much sgitated. The
barber did not have possession of the ring
and while both he and the young man
were searching the corners of the shop
the party who had caused the ring to dis
appear left the shop. This looked a little
suspicious SO the police were informed
OF the facts in the case. There was no evil
idence to connect anyone with the theft
OF the missing article so nothing could be
done. This morning the party who had
caused the trouble retufned the ring,
claiming he had found 1t in a corner OF
the door steps.
