Z Valuable Calves,

r. F. Young, farmer, who lives
near Greenbrier, Faulkner county,
lost $4,000 in currency in his pasture,
and all but 1915 was devoured by
calves before the loss was discovered.
The money represented the savings
from his crops the past three years.
1t was in charge of his wife, who kept
it locked in a trunk when she was at
home and concealed on her person
whenever she left. Mrs Young went
to the pasture to pick some black
berries and dropped the handkerchief
containing the money. The next day
search was made for the lost fortune.
Mr.. Young found the handkerchief
and close by two twenty-dollar bills.
The whole pasture was searched and
bits of the money were found scat
tered around promiscuously, having
been chewed up by calves, the amount
destroyed being 1,625. Each year for
the past three years Mr.. Young after
paying his bills, put the savings into
a handkerchief and placed them in
the custody of his wife.
