Telegraphic Reperts From Many Parts of the Country. SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings In Distant and Nearby Cities and Towns.—Matters of Minor Mention From Many Places. Recovers Stolen Watch in Chicago. One of the watches stolen at Monticelo three weeks ago when several houses there were burglarized, was recoverd in a Chicago pawn shop, the police of that city to whom a description of the timepiece had been sent, locating it. It was stolen from the home of J. M. Mcßeth, and, the jeweler from whom it had been purchased was able to furnish the number and description from his sales record. It was thought at the time that the thefts were by the same gang who operated in Rensselaer a few days earlier in the week, during the carnival here, and that they had immediately pulled out for Chicago on the early morning train. It might be that some of the watches stolen here could be recovered, if purchased here, where the jewelers also keep a record of all watches sold.
