A search was made for the purse after she arrived at her home but it was not found until today noon, when it was picked up in the street in front of the residence of R. B. Harris, on North College road, where she had dropped it as she stepped into her husband’s automobile. Finding it at that hour prevented The Republican getting in itfj work with a classified ad, which would almost without question have restored the purse, as everyone reads The Republican and all who do are perfectly honest. • An unsigned communication reached The Republican office today and can not be used, Tjhe subject matter is such that the person named might take offense and we would have no one to fall back upon. Possibly it might be treated as a harmless joke, but there is a chance that the person named might swell up and start for The Republican office with his fighting clothes on and lick a half dozen carrier boys before the real fighting man showed up. Not belhg in training for fisticuffs we shall require the name of any person who wants to hand a bunch of funnygraphs at some one through the columns of a newspaper.
