terday morning and displaying ring,
which he said had been picked up in the

owner. He said he was coming up from
the Boston boat and that a man ahead
of him picked Ehe ring up on the side
walk. While the man was examining it
another man came up and remarked
that the ring was worth $35.
There was considerable talk about the
ring, but in the end the countryman paid
Sc for the ring to the two crooks. The
oountryman was going to advertise the
ring. If the owner claimed it he would
get the Sc back. If the owner was never
found the oountrymen would of course
own the ring. The ring proved to be
worth about 10 CENTS

that so many are out OF town and the
suddenness OF the call, a large number
assembled at room II, Browns block, on

plenty of work ready on Friday morning
