RECEIVERS VALUABLE RING.
leweIry Stolen Three Years Ago Re-
turned to Owner.

Lead.-The sharp eyes of a Lead
woman were responsible for the recov-
cry of a valuable ~torquois and diamond
ring which vas stolen from a promi-
nent Deadwood woman three years
ago.
The Lead woman was riding on the
trolley line between Deadwood and
Lead. Across from her sat another
woman. During the course of the ride
the other woman withdrew her hand
from a muff and revealed on one of
her fingers a turquois and diamond
ring which the sharp eyes of the Lead
woman recognized as the identical ring
which had been stolen from the Dead
wood woman, who was her friend,
three years ago. When the Lead
woman left the train she notified the
officers, who, provided with a search
warrant, located the other woman
and secured the return of the jewelry.
When the jeweiry was stolen three
years ago a young man about town
was suspected as the thief, but the
crime could not be fastened upon him.
The woman admitted that the young
mar then suspected had given the
jewelry to her. She made no protest
against surrendering it to the officers.

Believes In Both Now.

Zeeland.-Nick Feist, a farmer three
miles from iceland, did not believe in
banks. Neither did he believe in in
surance. The other day Nick and his
family locked up the house and went
to visit a neighbor's. leaving several
hundred dollars in the house, safely
tucked away in a hiding place Nick
knew of. When the family returned
they found nothing left of the house
or contents, including The money, but
a heap of ~smouldering ashes. Nick
is almost convinced banks are safer
places than houses in which to piece
money, and that investments in an
insurance policy is not necessarily
money wasted.
