PAYS HEAVY PENALTY FOR
LOSING FAITH IN BANKS

Howard, s. D., Jan. 2o.-To round up
the family COW cost James LAVAL, a
Howard man, $500 and a gold watch.
He had not sufficient faith in banks
to deposit his years savings, so he
carried them in his pocket. He was
driving the family COW on a farm neal
Howard and was crossing a pasture
when his wallet and timepiece slipped
from his pocket. He did not discover
his loss until some time later. and
3 search he was unable to find any
trace OF the missing wallet and time
piece.
He now is willing to pay a reward
for the recovery of his summer saw
lngs. 1t is believed hunters or others
may have crossed the pasture after
he dropped the wallet and watch and
secured them.
