were placing a new bill board on
George street, near Schwaner's stable
in digging up the ground they came
across two large silver cups, which
were pounded almost fiat.
One of the cups, however, showed the
words, Leader Trophy Cup, 1902 The
name "Grggs' also appears on the
cup.
The silver was turned over to De-
tective Captain Cowles, and he is in
vestigating. He believes that both cups
are trophies, and that they are the
spoils of some robbery, but where they
came from he has no idea of knowing
One cup Is silver and the other pew

There are inscriptions on the cups
which will have to be Strengthened by
