Last Thursday afternoon Ed. VanArsdel assistant station agent and telegraph messenger, lost from his vest' pocket a roll of bills containing $260. He had just drawn the -money from McCoy’s bank, and was taking it back to the depot. lie went about town a little before he started for the depot, and does not known whether he lost the money in the business portion of town or after he started for the station. He missed the money just after passing the Catholic church. He made diligent search and also got out bills offering $25 reward, for the return of the .money, but without result. It was no doubt found very soon after it was lost, and unluckily, by some very dishonest person, who has held on to it. The money belonged to the railroad company, and Station Agent Beam was, of course, responsible for it, and as the loss would be a very serious one to him, a subscription paper to help make up the amount, was circulated and very generously responded to. So generously, in fact, that about $l6O was raised about town. Another paper was circulated by the railroad men, but with what result we have not learned.
