MIR. GREtN'S SATCHEL
 HOW HE GAN GET II
Another True Story Of Republican
 POpular Want Ad.

The Republicans popular want col umns are not only a medium for the happy settlement of thousands of hu- man anxieties, but frequently are the cause of incidents of a ludicrous and humorous nature. But whatever hap pens. every incident emphasizes the value of these columns as an agency for bringing anxious inquirers together. In yesterday mornings paper mention was made of c former advertisement inserted bysO. J. Green of Gila Cross ing who had lost a satchel containing kodak and other articles of value and requesting the retutrn of. same to the store of J. w Doris. Though the ad. had been in two or three days the lost articles had not been found. At tention was called to this fact and it was further pointed out that while the ad. had not yet fulfilled it's mission certain things had happened which showed that the leaven was working and it was inferred that 1t was only a matter of short time when satis factory results would be obtained. The Republican is now able to report prog ress and clear up the mystery.
 In the Sunday issue mention was made that MT. Green had received a reply to his ad. calling attention to several imperfect statements and over sights in it. notably mention of proper reward. The natural conclusion was that somebody had found the satchel and sought to hold it for a ransom. Though it was provoking, MT. Green wanted his property and at once de- cided to submit, inserting another ad. Offering five dollars reward and no questions asked.
 Yesterday a lady, whose name and address will be furnished MT. Green when he calls at this office, dropped in to say she did not like the story in the morning paper and would like to whip the editor if he did not look too fierce. She said she had MT. Greens property and had been trying for several days Io restore it to him. So anxious was she to do so that sine had told about everybody she knew but she had writ ten no message to Mir. Green. Evi- dently some one she had taken into her confidence had done so, for a joke, with the result that yesterday every bCuy she knew in town was accusing her of trying to hold back the property for a reward; not but what she has suffered enough to be entitled to it. though that was not her design. She says she called up various clerks at yaIious of the places indicated in the ad. but did not get satisfactory replies. All of them seemed to be willing to take the property but none could give her definite information concerning the owner. Some of them advised her to bring it to the store but she contended that she was not a delivery wagon and if the people at the store wanted it they could come after it.
 But yesterdays publication was too much. Whoever the joker was he landed and she took the trouble to run the matter down herself. She says now that if MT. Green, who advertised five dollars reward, and no questions asked. will come to The Republican office and get her address he can call on her and get his property and ask all the questions he pleases so long as they are pertinent to the issue. She says the reason she did not hurry to write to MT. Green was that letters in his satchel were addressed to Gila Crossing and were of a character that she believed would lead him to adVer- tise so she watched The Republican every day until he did advertise recog- nizing it as the universal medium. Then she tried her best to follow the instructions in the ad. Incidentally she was persuaded not to whip the editor.
