Money Evidently Was Not Stolen.

Two little girls, one of whom was the daughter of Mrs. E. J. Kays, while .returning home from school Tuesday afternoon, stopped at the house formerly occupied by Dean Merica, and in looking about a trash pile in the rear of the house found a roll of bills in the weeds. As Mr. Merica had lost some $15.00 recently which it was thought at the time had been taken from his pants pocket one night, it was thought this was the money supposeed to have (been stolen. In communication with Mr. Merica at Francesville, he described the money he had lost and it was found the denomination of the bills wes precisely the same, and Mrs. Kays sent the money to him Thursday. How it came to be where it was found is a mystery.
