LOST $500 BILL MAY
YBf CAUSE LAWSUIT
It's Supposed to Have Been
Picked Up Along Street.

Two advertisements. which have a
bearing on each other and which an
peared in the lost and found" column
Of local newspaper yesterday. are
causing much gossip. The first set forth
that a $500 bill had been lost Saturday
on Street, between the Washington
Loan and Trust Company and Crane
Paris & Co, and the Union Storage
and Trust Company by young man to
whom tie money was intrusted. II was
stated also that liberal reward would
be paid If the same was returned to
the receiving teller of Crane, Paris
& Co.
Following is the other notice printed
Just above the one announcing the loss
of the $500 bill:
Lost-The man who had the $500 bill
changed into FIVE 800 bills at riggs
Bank On Saturday has been identiaed
and ne will save himself trouble by de-
POSTING same with the cashier"
Inquiry last night developed the fact
mat the money had not been lost by
Crane, Paris & Co. but by young
man employed at one OF the Street
brokerage Offices The young man had
large note with the firm and
cropped the $500 bill while transactinR
other bustnegs along the street. He did
not miss it until he entered his home
once, but search OF the route he had
Travelled failed to bring forth the miss
Ing $500
During the afternoon. however. an
'ther man, who is said to be quite prom
nent, had $500 note changed at the
Riggs National Bank As it is even
more unusual to see $500 note than
:! 900 bill, the cashier noticed the man
loosely Or hearing of the loss of the
,SeV 1t wan assumed that the man had
ounc the money.
II Is believed that legal action may
'e taken, provided the money is not re-,
urned.
