height before disposng of them. In
the vicinity OF Winter Earbor they are
cutie n few lobster pounds that are
very well filed, but as yet have not as
largo stock rs last year. At Bunkcr's

WATCH, RING AND MONEY GONE.
Young Georgian Claims to Be Victim
@.sa4 Of Knockout Drops.

Wade H. Nance of ITO Decatur street. At
lanta, Ca, called on Capt Boardman at
police headquarters yesterday morning and
complained that he had been victim Of
knockout drops while in this city Satur-
day andrhad been relieved of $50 in money
q gold watch valued as memento from his
mother and diamond ring valued at $3.50.
According to the story told by Nance. he
arrived here Saturday with his partner
from New York on their way home, and
they had to wait here several hours to
make the train connection. Nance claims
that he left his partner at the depot. while
he took walk across the street, where he
declares that he met a colored man who
engaged him In conversation. The colored
man, so Nance told Captain Boardman,
stated that he was from Atlanta, and they
started out to find another man from the
same place. On the way Nance says that
they stopped in a saloon and had glass of
beer, after which he does not remember
anything.
He claims that when he regained his
senses yesterday morning he was in a
hospital at Alexandria and found his valu-
ables gone, but made mis- way back here
after borrowing enough money to pay his
car fare. Nance was unable to tell the
police what became of his partner and 1t
Is thought that he went to Atlanta when
the train was made up. It Is thought that
Nance might have left his valuables with
his friend, and dispatch was sent to the
officials at Atlanta making inquiries.
Nance returned home this morning.
