Myrt Takes a Trip and Gets His Timepiece Plucked —Almost.

Myrt B. Price made a businestf*brip to Monticello Friday and on the retrip to Rensselaer fell asleep, and in the meantime some slick-fingered person made away with Myrt’s watch. Myrt, however, left the train when it reached here without knowing of his loss. The watch was found later 'by the conductor in another seat, where the pickpocket, who had probably become conscience stricken, had put it in. order that it might be found by its rightful owner. The watch w'as returned to Billy Frye, who, after some inquiry, was able to find out to whom it belonged. In the future we imagine that Myrt will carry his Waterbury suspended from a log chain when he goes visiting.
