When the voung son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Brown, of No. 4 Short sireet, kicked over a rusty tin can in the lots behind his house this morn- ing and saw roll forth a glittering mass of valuable jewelry, including watches, rings, pins and cuff links, his mind at once reverted back to the stories he had read of Captain Kidd and his hidden treasures, but moi firmly implanted In young Brown’s | mind was the teaching of his parents that honesty is the Dest policy so he gathered up the valuables and at once sought out Officer Charles McCarthy to inform him of his find. The officer turned the jewelry over to Detective | Sergeant Samuel Bamforth and it de- veloped that it was the same that was stclen from two Church street houses Monday afternoon. Mrs. Carl Larson, of 411 Church street, and Mrs. Alfred Fresen of 450 Church street, went visiting Monday afternoon and when they returned they found that thelr rooms had been pilaged and several valuable articles were gone. The police were notified but the first inkling of where the goods were came when young Brown | gave them to the officer today. The jewels in the old tin can which the boy found were wrapped intact in an old handkerchief and thrust into the rusty can and it was the merest chance that prompted young Brown to pick it up.
