LOST VALUABLE
LOT OF PEARLS.
Walter M. Harris is out just $1,010
through the thievery of some rascal,
who took advantage of a chance to
steal his purse, which contained two
pearls, the purchase price of which
was $950 and several other smaller
pieces, which run the total loss up to
the first mentioned figure of $1,010.
Early Monday morning, Mr. Harris
had reason to go to the safe in his
grocery store and laying out upon his
desk, a leather case in which he
carried his pearls, he neglected to
again return the same to the safe.
When his mind was recalled to the
oversight, the case was gone and as a
number of people had been in the
store, he had little evidence to work
upon to discover the guilty party. It
is a heavy loss and we hope that by
some chance, the owner may recover
his rightful possessions.
