STOLEN MONTH AGO

More than a month ago. a Dayton
bicycle, the property of the Union
Naval Stores company, disappeared,
and a report of its theft was made to
the police station. Malcolm Con
zalez, who was employed by the naval
stores company, was using the wheel
in the service of the company when
it disappeared.
Yesterday afternoon Bob Gonzalez,
who knew the wheel quite we'll, locat-

sought possession of it. He called
Officer Pericles to his assistance. and
the latter, accompanied by the finder
rolled the wheel to the station. 1t

A lady had the wheel, it was stated.
and when asked about it she told in
quirers that a sailor, now on a ship
in foreign waters, she thought, gave
it to her brother.
