Way up in the village OF Hope a good
story has been concealed through the dis
erection OF tho local police, who have been
silently following up clew. in regard to
some money which until Saturday night
had been missing from the home OF MS.
and Mrs. Thomas Lawton since the after
noon of June 20th
The money was missed on the after
noon in question, after a certain sup
posed friend of the Lawton family had
| visited them.
| The family had notified the local police
about the mysterious disappearance OF
the money 4lO and the officers had
made what was considered. a sufficient
clew to think about serving certain par
ties with papers alleging theft.
On Saturday things took a new light
and the money was sent to the family
through the mail with the explanation
that II had been found in what is known
as Harrington avenue, but the letter had
been deposited in the office after the clos
ing of the mail and the hand writing was
unfamiliar. nor was there any name
signed TO the letter.
What seems strange about the incident
is that any one finding the money, should
know where to send the money and there
must have been a reason for the finder
keeping the money for nearly month
before returning IL, and surely they would
have no reason to conceal their name.
