HE IS HEIR TO MICE MONEY

Floor Repairer Finds Roll of Bills Only Partly Chewed—Thousands of Dollars In Lot. Trenton, N. J. — In repairing the floor of an old house he recently bought, Patrolman Patrick Kerwick found hidden between joists a large roll of bills. Many of them had been cbewed by mice, but that did not prevent Kerwick recognizing the $100 mark on them. How the money got there is a mystery, but it is supposed the house formerly was owned by somebody who distrusted banks and who died without having confided the secret to anybody. Kerwick says he will send the chewed bills to the treasury department for redemption. He did not reveal just how many thousands of dollars were in the lot.
