summer Frank Mccarthy, druggist Of
Tacoma, felt in need of an outing, sC
came to j. P. Egan's place to picA
and back Strawberries. While pick
ing berries he lost a valuable diamond
ring from his finger. Careful search
was made, but no trace of the ring
could be found. Last week, while
Frank Egan was hoeing berries he saw
something blaze for a moment, and
carefully separating the dirt found
the ring. The owner was rejoiced
to receive it for the ring had more
than an intrinsic value to him.
