MESA
MONEY BURNED.

Mrs. John Richards met with the misfortune of having her money, pock- et-book and all. burned in the oven. She had little more money than sne desired to carry up town or felt safe to leave in the house. Her purse con tained forty dollars in bills and sixty cents in change. The safest place she could see or think of was the oven, so she placed her pocket book containing the money there. She came up town and as it was a little late when she returned she built a hot fire and got supper, after which she thought about the money, but too late, the bills were all burned and nothing left but the loose change.
