neat diamond robbery in this city

heard of in these parts. A stranger
went into Carter Bros. store and asked
to be shown tray of rings. He was
, shown tray and looked it over at
great length. He finally laughed and
said in an affectedly careless way that
there was so many handsome spark
lers. he couldn't decide which was the
better. He said that he was stranger
in Portland but that he would send his
wife in, that afternoon or the next day,
to see what she could do toward max
ing a selection.
In moment or two it was dis
covered that one Of the most valuable
rings in the tray was missing. There
was nothing suspicious about the
stranger, but as he was the only man
in the store he was searched. He sub
mitted to the search in a joking frame
Of mind. saying that a mistake had
been made. He was very sorry at the
same time that the ring had been lost
during his presence in the store. No
ing could be found and Mr. Carter

ore the store closed al night so the
ing she had picked out was left where
had been placed.
When the store was swept cut at
