t-ntu Yesterday Rose Carroll of
school street. counted among her earthly
nossessions handsome ch ma dinner set
The set was china. the real thing one
OF this sort with real gold band ana
, pretty vines
This set was used only on state occa-
sions. on Thanksgiving day and the ike
but this winter. coal beins scarce.and TINS
! naturally cut down the number Of state
! dinners and festive occasions
The china set decorated her well-laden
| table on Thanksgiving day, and then
I each piece was carefully washed ana
| polished. and put away.
| some folks who are the owners or so
| handsome a set of china have put IL where
| il can be seen by all TO come INTO the
| house something after the fashion or an
| up- -to-date merchant, who puts his pest
| goods In his display window. But not SO
| with Rose She hid II, and yesterday she
! thought that perhaps the set might be
| dusty and she would just wipe II over SO
| as 10 keep II bright and -SfftHy1aHa Ha-Mheh
| she went 10 the hiding place. she was
| indeed a sad woman for her much priced
| china set was gone but how long she did
| not know. for she had not laid eyes upon
n since Thanksgiving day, and now she
| has invoked the aid OF the police to find
| the gold banded decorated china set
The police will fnd it II they can, but
| the odds are against them.
TWENTY ROUND BOUT.
| II it ca, be arranged there will be
| hon, Of 20 rounds between two well-known
| local men who are members OF the sen
| ate" and are known by the tities OF
| "Shine" and shrimp"
| Those who have the matter In charge
propose TO start for the square tomorrow
| morning under The guise of hshing
party. for they will take with them LOT
| OF .ce fishing implements and bait, so
| that even the wisest cop in the district
| would not surmise the real intent or the
| party.
| The go is for 'fair." and while the
| shrimp is few pounds lighter than
! shine" the former is the favor.te The
| members OF the senate will pay all ex-
| penses but two OF the more prominent
| members OF the club have made a wager
| OF a turkey supper and n - of other good
| things on tie outcome.
| That the GO II the police do not stop H..
will be n good one. there can be no doubt.
| for both men while not professional box
ers are well up In the art
! IL has been decided that the party Will
! not know lust where they are going until
they meet at the senate morning at
o'clock but there is no doubt but what
the Danielson line Of electrics will be
used TO convey most of the party
| VALUABLE WATCH RECOVERED.
Mrs. Josephine Ballard called AT the
| Chafree street police station last evening
| and reported that her home. l2o Plsiniield
street. had been broken into during her
abscnc and a gold watch and chain val
nd at sli5 and a silver bracelet had been
| stolen.
The articles stolen had been In the
| family for many years or when she wa:
| I'm far better circumstances Some time
| ago her husba nd died and since then she
| has been obliged 10 work in one OF tn,
mills to support her two boys.
Yesterday the boys left the house and
during their absence some one entered
the house by rear window and tn,
| police are confident that this follow mus
| have known that the watch and chair
| were I'm the house, for he turned things
topsy turvey until he found them.
This morning the police made second
} investiga tion and found the watch In th'
snow under the window. and IL Is quite
probable that the robber will not get away
, | with the chain and bracelet. as all Of th'
| pawnbrokers' shops have been notified
, | and his arrest may follow.
