MISPLACED PERIOD
CAUSES EXCITEMENT

There was something doing at 2O4
West Grant street after a want ad ap-
.peared in a Sunday paper offering 1926
reward for the return of a ruby sun
burst pin lost at the Unique theater. It
80 happened that the value of the pin,
which had been given by A. D. Pe1len
to his mother-in-law seven years ago,
rested on the associations connected
with it, and it may be said that those
associations were not valued at 1925,
but at $l.25. The position of the peri
ed had been slightly changed by the
printer. The pin cost originally 1915,
and the reward was to have been one
third Of it's value. III
These little details, however, were
not understood by the reading public,
and when the ad appeared there was
hustle for the reward. All sorts of
queer letters began pouring in and an
extended collection Of sunbursts might
have been acquired at $125 burst.
i Finally word came of the real sun
Minneapolis to do the town, had picked
lit up in the theater and taken it home,
where he sold it to farmers wife.
Great was his CONSERVATION when he
heard Of the reward. He fastened to
8reacquire the valuable piece Of jewel
Try and wrote a letter stating how it
might be delivered to the original
owners. He had evidently been read
ing about the return Of j. P. Morgan s
cope to the king at Rome, as he pre-
scribed about a dozen conditions. Mr..
Pellen expects to cut the Gordian knot
today, and while the reward of 1925
will not be paid, his experiences are
worth very nearly that amount.

by his son Horace, who was drafted at
once and boarded one OF the EoWry
conveyances for the state capitol.

the fee. The resolution passed also
asks the legislature to amend the law
so the question may not arise in the
future. The refund is also asked fol

it was found necessary to open one Of

kerosene over the hole and lighted it.
