It was a pretty good watch, a sew
enteen jewell Illinois, but as has been
his custom for several years, c.. H.
Dodge left it hanging on q nail in his
shoe shop where he could see it readily
and tell just when to go to dinner and
to supper The watch was hanging in
its accustomed place one day last
week when Mr. Dodge left his shoe
shop and went to the postoff1ce. He
did not lock the door and was gone
only a few minutes When he re-
turned he naturally wanted to see
how many minutes he had been gone
and looked at the accustomed spot on
the wall. The watch was not there,
neither was the chain and charm
which were attached to it. During
his absence some petty thief had en-
tered the shop, gone behind the coun-
ter and lifted the watch and its adorn-
nnents from the nail ON the wall 1t
was gone and has been gone ever
since and there seems to be no way of
getting any trace of it It may be
that someone just borrowed 1t for the
harvest season as a sort of a joke on
Mr. Dodge, but If they did it viii soon
be returned as the harvest season is
practically over now
