A nton Hecfer gave Johnnie Vogle,
one Of the boys VINO work for him,
gold filled watch for Christmas
present. Vogle was SO pleased that
he showed the watch to many Of the
customers. He was SO careful of it
that he did not wear it while working
SO when he came from dinner yeSter-
day he put the watch and chain in a
showcase at the further end OF the
store. Several young fellows were In
the store at the time. Vogle waited
on several customers and finally no
ticed that the watch was gone. Mr..
Hec er suspected who were.the guilty
parties, and they were requested to
return the watch. About five O'Clock
last night, Valley,one of Mr. Hecker's
sons, came into the store and found a
package done up In brown paper on
the door sill. He carried it to his
father, who undid it, and in a small
pasteboard box was found the missing
watch. Mr.. Hecker thinks the mat

cred as joke.
