RECEIVERS WATCHL0ST
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

Twenty-Five years ago while plow-
ing in a field on his farm short
distance west of Bcmidj:, Ira M. Eos
ter, who now lives in Bemidji, lost
gold watch. Thorough search
failed to diclose the lost article and
even though Mr.. Foster watched
closely for the watch to be turned
up into sight while he was blowing
that same field in the years that
followed, the long-lost timepiece re-
NAMED in hiding until Monday of this
week, when it was brought into view
by Joe Miller, to whom Mr.. sold that
part of his farm some time ago.
Mr.. Miller was hocing in this field,
which he now uses as garden spot,
when the hoe struck something solld'
which later proved to be the long
lost watch. Mr.. Foster is now IN
possession of the time-piecc, which
looks little the worse for its long
period of Information, A curious
individual, when Informed that the
watch had been found, wanted TO
know if it was running. The chance
ore that it will be after a short trip
to a jcwelry shop, since the solid
hunting case served as ample pro-
lection during the twenty-five years
which it was imbedded in the soil.
