$500 Stone Found
UnChaperOned Near
. C.Passenger Car
DIAMOND DROPS FROM RING;
FALLS TO FLOOR; SWEPT UP;
RECOVERED; RETURNED.

j. p. Brierton, chief dispatcher for
the Mississippi Central Railroad,
picked up the telephone receiver when
the bell rang this morning.
"This is Hales, agent at Sumrall,"
said the voice at the other end. "A
travelling man here says he lost the
diamond out of his ring yesterday on
our train. He came from Natchez
and stopped here last night. He is
sure the stone was in the ring when
he boarded the train and is sure it
wasn't there few minutes after he
ahghted. The stone weighs little
less than two and is perfect"
''i'll see what l can do about it,"
replied Brierton. He went to the
yards where the car was parked and
searched the coach carefully, but it
had been cleaned since its arrival in
Hattiesburg and the floor was clean.
Brierton was about to give up the
search when, on leaving the coach, he
noticed a little pile of dirt and rub
bish evidently the trash that had been
swept from the car floor. He pushed
around in the rubbish with the toe OF
his shoe and about the second or third
kick the stone flashed in his eyes.
Wouldn't happen again in a hun
dred years. said Brierton. Mighty
seldom anything like a diamond is not
seen by the noor-sweeps." Brierton
says the diamond is worth upwards Of
$500.
