basket telescope dropped oft the

got to town, as it was dark at the
time. In the telescope was a
small hand bag which contained
considerable jewelry.
The telescope was found and
delivered to Mr. Flett in due sea
son. But a quantity of the jewel
ry was missing, although it was
evident that the party who re
turned the telescope had not taken
it Investigation seemed to point
to the fact that prior to its dis
covery by the party who returned
it, the telescope had been discoV'
ered by a couple of young men
who filched from it the jewelry,
but left the telescope lying as it
ell from the wagon.
The case was investigated and
asa result the state took the mat
ter up and there was to have been
a hearing this week, but for suth
cient reason the matter was (post
poned until Monday afternoon.
It is understood that one of the
young men turned states evidence
and implicated the other, how
ever, said "other" stoutly denies
any complicity whatever. At the
time of going to press there was
a possibility of the matter being
settled out of court.
