A woman’s trunk, which was found behind the gas plant recently, has given the police considerable trouble. The trunk, it is said, contained a quantity of clothes and some letters belonging to a female. Chief of Police Holms wrote to the address which the letters furnished but has not yet received any answer.
Upon failure of the owner to reply, Officer Anderson, who found the trunk, recalled seeing a grave which had been recently dug nearby. Nothing daunted by a sign on the grave, and thinking he would solve the mystery, he proceeded to dig it up. Officer Anderson will hereafter believe in signs as he found just what the sign read, “Fido, our darling dog.”
