BLOOSTEN RECOVERS COAT Lumhel'javck Discovered on Third Street Wearing Silk Coat Lost Several Days Ago. GAINS POSSESSION AFTER CHASE After a hot foot race between ITke Bloosten and a lumber jack, which ended in the Naish MeKinnon saloon and resulted in the recovery of a brown silk rain coat belong to Mr. Bloosten, was ‘the feature stage set- ting of this afternoon’s program. Mr. Bloosten lost his raincoat sev- eral days ago and today it was recov- ered by Naish McKiunon after an interesting and hard struggle. The story of the lost raincoat runs some- thing like this: The coat disappeared according to Mr. Bloosten a few nights ago while he was in a local theater, he having left it lying in his {seat. At various time he believed he had a clue as to the whereabouts of the coat, but each time it proved a false alarm. This afternoon a lumberjack passed along Third street in front of the Gill Brothers store and David Gill recognized the coat on him. “There goes your coat,” cried Mr. Gill to Ike and JTke immediately accosted the gentleman in - possession. “Where did you get that coat, that’s my coat,” said Mr. Bloosten. “None of your d- business” replied the “Jack” and at once broke into a run. Fleetfooted Ike gave chase and the fellow dodged into the Naish Mec- Kinnon saloon and made for the back door. Naish alert to the situation made a grab for the lumberjack and when the struggle ended had the coat in his hands. ke arrived on the scene a second later, but the “Jack” had escaped by the back door. Others had joined in the chase in the meantime and.ar- rived in time to see that the coat was restored to the rightful owner. Mr. MecKinnon refused a reward for his services, but suggested that Tke might relieve the dryness of the situation, which he promptly did. “$2.75 is not bad to get back a good $20 coat,” said Mr. Bloosten.
