Dispose of Valuable Watch.

After an exciting chase on Eigh-
teenth street this afternoon the police
captured man and a woman who a
short time before had attempted to dis
pose of a gold watch and chain at the
Deutch Bros. pawn shop on Twentieth

pawn brokers to beware of such
watch, and when Mr.. Deutch examined
the timepiece he notified the police.
He could not detain the couple long
enough, however, for the police to ar
rive, but they shortly afterwards secur-
ed the pair. The watch is supposed to
have been stolen. 1t is valued between
$25 and $40. No information is given
out at the police station regarding the
case.
