ton on Mrs II. w, Chlzerll, 10 Denver

In smooth dress called at the door and
explaining that he was the assessor
and collector, asked the privilege OF
looking over her household effects. Per-
mission was readily granted, for Mrs.
Chizerill has prided herself always on
her honorable record in such cases, and
wants the county TO get all that II has
coming
The bogus collector said he came
only To fix valuation on her personal
property. He asked II she had any
1ewelrv or silverware. In answer. she
led him to the sldeboard, where he ex-
amined several pieces OF table ware
and then went through the drawers
and lockers.
After he had left the premises, Mrs.
Chl2erlll discovered the loss of pock-
etbook containing $40, 1t had been on
the center table She at once reported
the matter to the police.
A little later Mrs. j. d. Brown, moth

ence precisely. The fellow had visited
