Marlon, Ind.Miss Myrtle White,
daughter of W. E. White, formerly
street commissioner, lost a pocket
book on the road between the White
home and the Roseburg pike. White's
dog, which was playing along the road,
found the pocketbook and carried it
to a nearby cornfield. The family
started a search for the purse, which
contained a sum of money and valu
able papers. Evidently the dog appre
ciated the family anxiety, for he went
to a cornfield^ got the pocketbook and
placed it at the feet of its owner.
Needless to say he received a liberal
reward in a large piece of the best
meat.
