DIAMONDS IN G1zzARD.

Spokane, WASH, Jan. 11.-After re-
posing three months in an imprompt
jewel case in the form of a chicken q
gizzard, a thrce-quarter carat diamond,
belonging to E. NJ. Reel, motion pic
ture machine operator of Spokane, was
restored to its owner recently. Reel
lost his gem, which is valued at $75,
from its setting in a ring he wore last
September while working in the yard at
his residence. The chicken, then
young Rhode Island Red rooster, seiz-
cd upon it as choice morsel and swal-
lowed it. His digestive qualifications
were too slight, however for proper
disintegration and the diamond lodged
in the gizzard. Tn the meantime Reel
gave up his search for the sparkler,
concluding it was lost to him for all
time. A few days ago he went to the
hcnhouse and killed the rooster for
dinner. Mrs. Reel was dressing the
fowl when she found the missing dia-
mond and now claims proprietorship
of the stone. Reel IS solace was in the
form Of choice bits of the rooster aft
er it was cooked.
