Shortly afterwards several boys whileflaying in the yard, noticed silver shining, and they set to work to pick, it up, and when they got through they had tak- en from the ash heap $8 or over in silver money. The cash was handed back to the rightful owner and the boys were rewarded. George Vivian, locally known as Mitchell's "Apple King," is entertain- ing his cousin, I,. J.
