through the woods, about 200 yards
from the Beardsley barn. saw a pecu.
liar looking object suspended from the
limb Of a tree. II had the appearance
of being a hawk suspended from the
end of a chain They soon brought
the object down, and found. TO their
surprise, that II was a dead monkey.
to the neck of which was fastened a.
heavy dog-chain. The little animal

littlefellow had found himself impris.

The body Of the monkey was dried up
and preserved perfectly. The limbs

was found had been partly denuded

was taken down and buried. The chain
was fastened to the strap around the
animals neck by means OF a piece of
baling wire. and Mr. Rider, who was
the discoverer OF the find. stated that
the animal must have been the proper.

had no idea that he had locked up a
sneak thief, who afterward rihed the
money drawer of all the small change
about $4.00. taking along a counter
felt dollar that was in another com
partment. that Mr.. Ramsey had taken
in by mistake some time ago.
Mr.. Ramsey says he feels satisfied
that the thief was in the store when
1t was locked up. from the fact that
there was no sign of any place where
he forced open the doors or windows.
The back door was kept fastened at
night by driving a short piece of
plank in front of it, making it inn
possible for anyone to force an en-
trance from the outside.
