'RIZE CAUSED WATCH
TO STOP SUDDENLY
What strange turn of fate canst
his old watch, which he had carrli
for nearly 15 years, to stop at the
same hour he was Informed that he
had won a new one, Is the perplexing
problem Walter NV Weber, a Hood
Hlver apple packer, Is trlng to
solve.
Mr. WelHT Is a member of the State
Horticultural Society and has a ills
ilay of fruit at the apple show In
Portland. Last week he eutered
five boxes of Spltzenltergs In the com
petition for the lest-packed display
In the Hood Hlver show. The first
prize In this class was a gold watch,
offered by Lawrence & Smith, Hood
Hlver orchardlsts.
At 9 o'clock the night prizes were
awarded, Mr. Smith Informed Mr.
Weber that he had won the watch.
An hour later as Mr. Weter, proudly
and somewhat nervously, was about
to substitute his new watch for his
old one. he noticed that the old time
piece had stopped at 0 o'clock.
"In the 15 years that I carried that
watch, it never stopped before." said
Mr. Weber. "I've Iteen wondering
about that ever since."
