 Checks Recovered.
 The old saying that time will tell'' worked out yesterday afternoon when a large packet of checks the property of the Standard Oil company at Rail- road square waI found by a man employed by the section department of the railroad company in the rear of the Standard Steel and Bearings company plant while he was removing some ties from the ground. These checks had been stolen out of the safe about seven months ago with other valu- ables. Evidently the thieves had realized the uselessness of attempting ca cash them and had hidden them un- der the pile of ties. No trace of the rob- bers could be found and the state police had been working on the scene.
