$5 BILL INSTEAD OF COUPON

Chris Lyman Looking for Man With Whom He made Mistake. Portland, Ind., Nov. 24.—Bis willingness to do a stranger a favor caused Chris Lyman to lose a $5 bill last Saturday evening, unless the man he befriended is honest enough to return the money. Lyman, with a friend, was standing In the street, when the man, whonf he knew by sight but not by name, asked him for a chew of tobacco. The man asked for the coupon In the sack, and Lyman gave it to him. Lyman put his hand into his pocket and gave the man what he thought was another coupon. Later he discovered that what he handed out was a |S bill. He has not yet been able to locate the man to whom he gave the money.
