She denied any knowledge - of the missing, money and readily agreed to being searched. 'However, there was one thing the mux could jiot find, und it was ller hat. A search was made for the hat, and finally Mrs. Sawyer, who is living with Mrs. Russell at the- Mansion found under a number of garments in 11 closet the missing hat, and in this wns $25 in bills.

Mr. and Mrs. --nderson came here last week to visit the Governor, and they brought with them a nurse mimed Lu cretia Mnultsby, who is now Confined in the station house, charged with the lar ceny of ?25 from one, A.Burdis Ander son. The woman luw been 'in the. em ploy of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson for about six months and this is said t be the first time they have had reason to doubt her honesty.
