Mr.. John B. Derr of this town, who
has DStli lCdlHiiiS SSHCoi rb iNoo1'''
Hill, Md, attended social at that place
one evening during the past winter. He
wore a new rain coat of good quality
which he had just purchased. When
ready to return home from the social, he
found that some kind friend had relieved
him of the coat. No trace of the stolen
article could be found, and all hope of
recovering it was abandoned. On Sutur-
day evening, April 5th., as Mr.. Derr was
walking down the street in Woodsboro,
to his great surprise he saw his coat
coming towards him worn by an entire
stranger. Derr took no chances but
stepped up to the man and demanded the
coat Immediately. This was fatty re-
fused at first until Derr identified the
coat by secret mark he had put upon il
when first purchased, and threatened
to arrest him. Then the man acknoWl
edged that the coat was Derr's, and gave
it to its owner. Now how is that fol
friendship? and how did the stranger
feel?
