IT. M. store have found their cash
short ut night in amounts ranging
from % cents to 81. A sharp look
out was kept, but they were unable
to detect the pilferer in the act. Sus-
picion finally rested On Guy Rose,
the Young man whose wife deserted
him f'w days ago, and on Thurs
day night the boys marked every
piece of money left in the drawer in
the Office. On Friday morning Rose
swept out the office as usual and was
then sent out after an armful Of wood.
While he was gone the money in the
drawer was counted and found to be
81 short Rose was called into the
Office again and charged with taking
the money. He denied the soft i'm
parchment at first, but when asked if
he had any money in his pocket, re-
piled that he had S25 or $50. He was
told to dig it up which he did and 81
of the marked money showed up with
the rest He then admitted his guilt
and paid S2a 80, the amount that he
was chreged with taking. Rose was
then told that his services were no
longer wanted and that he would not
be prosecuted. He left the store at
once and Friday he skipped the town.
