The CLEAN of gold attracted the
attention Of Mrs. William Koke the
other day when she examined the
roots Of a sumach bush that abe had
pulled on lot adjoining her home
in the east part Of the city, which
she had recently purchased.
Close examination showed a gold
watch, about which the fibrous roots
of the shrub had intertwined. The
ltimepiece was in good condition, al
though it had evidently lain where
found for years. The initials "a.
