SO well known in this city, was burned
down. The work of searching for valua-
bles was started about a week ago. and
Friday the SearcherS were successful In
fil.ding silver horseshoe, in which there
were eight diamonds. Another day two
pieces of jewelry were found with dia-
monds and other valuable stones set in the
gold work. The work is progressing in a
systematic manner. First the ashes are
put into a sieve and shaken. The sieve Is
too fine to allow anything of value to go
through. A second coarser sieve Is brought
to use. and the finer material goes through
this, but is washed so that nothing can
escape the searchers. What remains of the
second sitting is also washed and carefully
examined. The searchers are now looking
for pair of diamond earrings valued at
$4,000, and have hopes OF recovering them.
