Early last fall, Christ Tischhauser,
of this city, while in the town of Yale
after his farm interests in
that vicinity, had his suitcase stolen
from a wagon in the streets of Yale.
Besides clothing to the value OF
about $25, the suitcase contained a
cashiers check for $500, issued by
the Security State bank. of this city,
enclosed in a small memorandum
book. A few days ago the suitcase
was found in a field near town, rifled
of its contents, but for some unac-
c~ountable reason the thief overlooked
the memorandum book enclosing the
$500 check. This has been returned
to Mr.. Tischhauser, although pay
ment on ii had been stopped at the
time of the theft.
