Loose Checks for $208
in Letter Box.

Louis s. Mouquin, the restaurateur
who lost S416 a few weeks ago through
the activity of a pickpocket, on the
day that Sheriff Hamburger appointed
him a special deputy sheriff, learned
Yesterday that there are crooks who
have some respect for the law as rep.

possible for him to recover sos Of the
stolen money.
The fact that the money that found
its way back to the restaurant man
had something to do with it's return.
But Mr.. Mouquin was not looking for
motives or reasons. There were seven
checks in all. The man that picked
the pocket Of Mr.. Mouquin returned
them by placing the loose checks in a
mail box, without an envelope, trust
ing Uncle Sans postal employees to
see that they arrived at their proper
destination. The checks, however
went to the Dead Letter Office.
A search was made for the persons
who had signed the seven checks, only
two of whom Mr.. Mouquin could re-
member, as he had cashed them for
other persons. However, after con-
siderable trouble, Mr.. Mouqun received
the checks, thus reducing the loss 10

Maybe the fellow that picked my
pocket would have kept the checks
too If he could have cashed them" re-
marked Mr.. Mouquin.

IN the coming battle with Jack johnson
for the heavyweight championship OF the
world. set for July next. why did Flynn

Not for any losing end they may hope
to get out Of the contest. for the condi-

OF a gamble whether there will be a
losing end OF sufficient size to pay train
Ing expenses
Any other answer might be hard to

But II is easy for Flynn and his man
ayers to give good and sufficient reasons
for thus running their heads, and, espe-
cisliy FIynn's into this supposedly deadly
moose.
F1ynn's faith in himself is abiding. He
infects others with this confidence. So II
was with curiey. but long before Curley
and Flynn formed their alliance. Curley
got some ideas about johnson and he is
willing to give them to the public now
