ROBBED OF $10,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY

Jewelry valued at between $6,000 and SIO,OOO, the property of Mrs. Cecil G. Fowler, wife of the owner of the Fowler hotel in Lafayette was lost Thursday in the outskirts of Chi* cago while she, in company with her husband and H. H. Dunbar were en route to Lafayette after spending several days at the Blackstone hotel in Chicago. The party after leaving the hotel drove out Southwestern avenue, arrived at 59th street about 12:30, where they stopped to adjust the side curtains. Because of the fact that the baggage consisting of several hand bags and a “week-end” bag, was in the tonneau and on the rear seat, it was necessary to remove some of it to get the side curtains, and the bags were placed on the curb. After the side curtains had been adjusted the party drove about ten miles, when Mr. Fowler asked Mrs. Fowler is they “had alll the grips.” They didn’t.'' They returned to 59th street and found that the bag containing jewelry was missing. I i|.- |.■ -1 JT
