SOME NEAR TROUBLE FOUND BY A FRIEND WHO TAUGHT THE LOSER A LESSON—GREEK ACCUSED OF FINDING IT BY OFFICER AND ARGU MENT ENSUED. As a sequel to the loss of five twenty- dollar bills, which have since been recovS ered, there wag considerable of an uproar In a local Greek restaurant yesterday morning when one of the employe* there* In. a youthful minion of Prince George whose tendereit years were spent in th^ shadow of the Acropolis, waa accused by an officer of tho law of having found i the money. The officer waa merely trying to bluff the young Greek, not ’knowing whether or not he had found the goldbacks. He figured that If the foreigner did have the money, he would asare him Into giving It up. But the boy did not know any thing of th* loss of the hundred dollars, and was consequently much surprised when th* officer calmly told him that he I “had to come across." nnd said a few other things about spending long, sleep- iless nights In dark, cold cells. The more the Greek protested, the more ob durate became the officer. Tho latter I l» ramo convinced of the other’s guilt for some reason or othor. but bop- * rival of the proprietor of the place 4 who vouched for hla employe’* character and iveraclty. brought the matter to an end. I While tne fun lasted, however, there were a number or highly excited Greeks in the eating bouse, who aald a wholo lot of things tliat meant a whole lot more. Fortunately, the officer did not understand their tongue. A complete vindication of the youthful Greek, who had such an argument with ithe officer, developed yesterday after noon, when the money was restored to its rightful owner by one of bis close friends. It seems that a number of young men were eating In the restaurant and one of them, In taking something from hla pockat, unknowingly dropped ills ’Toll" on the flebr. Hla friend aw It, picked It up. and resolved to teach the other a lesson on carelessness that he would never forget. Accordingly, he did not mention having found the money until yesterday afternoon. In the mean time the supposed loser had ndvertt#hd In Th* Telegraph and was much put out because of the loss of the money. He Is now thoroughly satisfied and declares that h* will never again carry so much money around In his pocket. maiiiua, nov. ou. —ino Amrrii«n nil- tleship Host, under Rear Admiral Hperry.
