RING WAS LOST
SEVENTEEN WEARS
Mrs. T. A. Shandy OF This City Re
covers Wedding Ring Which Was
lost in Her Old Hame in :nd.ana
Nearly Twenty Years Ago.

gold Wedding ring, lost for more
than seventeen years has just been
returned to its owner, Mrs. f. A.
Shandy, d well known resident OF this
city, by Mrs Thomas Reed, girlhood
friend of hers living in Petersburg, In
diana. The ring is a plain gold affair
and shows no wear whatever, having
been buried for nearly quarter of a
century
The manner in which Mrs Shandy
recovered the highly priced wedding
gift was most interesting Mrs.
Shandy formerly lived in Petersburg
and was married there. When she
and her husband. who recently passed
away in this city, moved to Pine
Bluff seventeen years ago they rented
their home to Mr.. Bryan On the
day of their departure Mrs. Shanly
lost the wedding ring from her finger
and although a systematic and thor
Ough search was made for the piece
of gold, it was not found. Mrs. Shandy
never gave the recovery of the ring a
thought these many years, although
she often remembered the incident of
it having been lost from her hand.
A few days ago she received a let
ter from her friend, Mrs. Reed, who
still lives opposite the home formerly
occupied by Mrs. Shandy in Peters
burg. She told her of the yard, sur
rounding the former Shandy home, be-
ing plowed up and of the finding Of
the ring, upon the inner rim Of which
is engraved Mrs. Shandy's first name.
She said that Bryan refused to give
up the ring unless paid for it. Mrs
Shandy was more anxious to secure
the ring and especially when it had
been presented to her by her late hus-
band on their wedding day, wrote Mrs
Reed and forwarded a check with which
to reimburse Bryan and send her the
wedding ring. 1t arrived yesterday
and Mrs. Shandy is overjoyed at its
recovery.

FRANK J. DoNNERBERG.

Frank J. Donnerberg, who several
months ago opened handsome jew
elry store at s74 Commercial street,
has won reputation that has brought
him what is perhaps the best trade in
the city. After l6 years experience in
the large jewelry and Matchmaking
stores of San Francisco and Portland.
Mr. Donnerberg came to Astoria and
opened small place at ITO Eleventh
street, con6ning himself largely to
repairing watches, and carrying a
small stock of jewelry and watches.
His customers found him a good
matchmaker and discovered they were
given fair treatment and patronized
him literally, enabling him to in
crease his stock rapidly. Mr.. Donner-
berg Is broad-minded business man,
and his up-todate stock includes all
the newest styles which he purchases
from New York and San Francisco
wholesalers, and his establishment is
a credit to the city.
