Mr.. William H. Rabbit, residing near
this place. is rejoicing over the recovery
Of valued gold watch and chain, which he
incurred as lost for several months. During
the Rockville fair last September the
articles mentioned were taken from his
clothes. which he left hanging in his racing
stable at the fair grounds. Several weeks
later he received letter from Washington
inquirtng If he would give reward for the
return OF his property. He replied that he
would, and notified the Washington police
authorities. but the writer of the letter
could not be located. Several days ago a
colored man was cleaning one OF the stalls
at the fair grounds, where the stolen
articles were undoubtedly hidden by the
thief. and found the watch and chain and
returned them to their owner.
