DUE TO CONSCIENCE
FRED WEY HAS HAD ANOTHER
EXPERIENCE.
GETS BACK A STOLEN RING
It Had Been Carried to New Zealand

Work Fred in Butte.
GETS BACK A STOLEN RING

A. Fred Wey of Salt Lake. who had
charge of the Finlen hotel in this city
while that hostelry was being operated
under the name, "McDermott," has just
had another experience in Salt Lake.
Mr.. Wey is proprietor of the Wey
hotel in that city and, as is the case
with all hotel men. meets all classes of
persons in the conduction of his bust
ness.
Experience in Butte.
He once had an experience in Butte.
but it was not exactly of the same class
as the one through which he has just
passed in the City of Saints.
The experience. as related by the Salt
Lake Herald. is as follows:
Mr.. Fred Wey, proprietor of the Wey
hotel suddenly and unexpectedly found
himself yesterday the custodian of a
conscience fund.
A ring stolen at the hotel, no one
knows precisely when, was returned to
him from far off New Zealand. with a
letter explaining the penitence of the
taker.
Letter From a Woman.
The letter was in a woman's writing
and was as follows:
"Christ's Church. New Zealand.
"To the Proprietor, Wey Hotel:
"Dear Sir-SOme time ago, while pass
ing through Salt Lake city. stayed at
your hotel, and while there l took this
ring which enclose here. The time has
come when l have to return it to your
place, hoping it will find it's rightful
owner and trusting that l shall receive
forgiveness. l remain yours. etc.
"A PENITENT."
The ring is handsome gold affair.
with an imitation sapphire setting. The
imitation stone is worthless, but the
band is worth from s. to $40. The hotel
register contains an entry on Septem-
Der 4, in hand writing similar to that
in the letter. Beyond that fact there l.
no clew either as to the identity of the
conscience stricken thief or the owner
of the property
No Complaint Made.
Il do not believe it was Il case Of tech
meal theft. or l would have heard a
complaint" said Mr.. Wey last night.
Someone probably left the hotel and
forgot the ring and afterwards sup
posed it had been lost elsewhere. The
writer of this massive was probably the
next occupant of the room. and, picking
up the ring. carried 1t of.
81 had such AN experience before in
Butte. A fellow sent me money order
for a considerable amount due me for a
board bill he had jumped ! was SUR
prised at the time. buy found out later
that there was method in his madness,
