Lost Purse Containing Railroad Fare to Montana.

Mrs. Elmo F. Thomas, daughter of S. B. Holmes, lost her purse containing $49.85 last Saturday and unless an advertisement that is being published in this paper recovers it for her she will be placed to a great disadvantage. Mrs. Thomas came from Minneapolis, Minn., on March 23rd to visit her sister, Mrs. Walter L. Smith, on the Holmes farm. Her husband went to Montana and took up a claim within a quarter of a mile of her father, Sidney B. Holmes. She was to leave here with their two children next Saturday and the tponey was to purchase her ticket. Her purse and handkerchief were in her handbag and the ]aag was lost out of the conveyance in which he was riding. - Later some one picked up the handbag but the purse and money, also the handkerchief, were gone. It is hoped that the finder will restore the purse and contents to Mrs. Thomas at once. ■ 'TT \
