With the aid of medium, Madam
Sulger. the watches stolen from the
home of Frank Rife, 1926 Fifteenth
street. Tuesday night, have been re
covered. Mrs. Rife consulted the
medium Wednesday morning and of
fered her 50 if She could assist in the
recovery of the stolen property. Mad
am Sulger told he that she thought
the watches would be found on the
Rife property, basing her conclusion
ON this reasoning: The robbery was
committed between 10 and II o'clock
and neighbors happened to be going
home as the burglars had finished
their work. Fearing that they would
be caught and the watches found in
their possession they hid them some
where ON the place. With this infor-
nation from the medium. Mrs Rife
returned home and the afternoon was
spent in n search for the timepieces.
but they could not be found. In the
evening. when MIR. Rife came home.
he was told of what the medium had
said and he also started to search the
premises. He was soon successful.
finding the watches partly covered
with dirt. just inside the door to an
old shed. Mrs. Rife has her own ideas
as to who committed the burglary
and the police are now at work on the
clew which she has furnished.
