Boys Find Pur S e
With $3,OOOCheck
and Liberty Bond

Little James Bottorff is only II
years old, yet he has a keen sense
of honesty. 2 nd knows that when he
finds something that does not belong
to him It should be returned as
quickly as possible TO its rightful
owner. even il that something is a
pocketbook containing a check for
$4,000 and a $50 Liberty bond. and
even if he fails to get a word of
thanks to the owner of the $4,000
check and $50 Liberty bond or from
the police captain TO whom he took
the pocketbook containing the check
and bond
James is the son OF Mr.. and Mrs.

They passed the race near Hydraulic

thing floating on the water that look
ed like a pocketboOk.
The boys got a board and pulled
the object 10 the bank 1t proved to
be a pocketbook and it contained a
check for $4,000. a $50 Liberty bond
and a registration card bearing the
name OF William Hegadorn. ColfaX

Immediately James suggested that
the pOcketbook be taken to the po-
lice station. The other boys agreed
and the four marched into Day Capt.
William Cordier's office with the
pocketbook and all its contents.
The captain took the pocketbook,
check. bond and registration card
without even thanking the boys for
bringing il 10 him i'm order that the
owned might he found. He didn't
even think enough of the honesty of
the boys TO ask them their names.

him. He did, however call up Heg-

him that his pocketbook had been
found
At the Colfax hotel Sunday night
Hegadorn failed TO show any inter
est whatever in the return of his
property. When asked how the
pocketboak got into the race he
merely said that he didn't know. He
didn't want to know the names o.

Nehemiah Brookes took for his
text. "And the angels said unto them,

Inasmuch as the angels of the
