Spokane, Wash. After reposing three months in an impromptu Jewel case ln: the form of a chicken's giz zard, a three-quarter carat diamond, belonging to E. M. Reel; a motion pic- j ture machine operator of Spokane, was restored to Its Owner recently. Reel lost the gem, which is valued at $75, from its setting In a ring he wore last September, while working In the yard at his residence. The chicken, then a young Rhode Island Red rooster, seized upon It as a choice morel and swallowed it. His digestive qualifications were too slight however for proper disintegration and the diamond lodged in the gizzard. In the meantime Reel gave up his search for the sparkler, concluding It was lost to him for all time. A few days ago he went to the henhouse and killed the rooster for dinner. Mrs. Reel was dressing the fowl when she found the missing diamond and now claims proprietorship of the stone. Reel's solace was in the form of choice bits of the rooster after It was cooked. 31 Below in Nortb Powder. A. E.
