    1. Town Clock Has Been Stolen 1900
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lauer, Driscoll, Coughanour Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/2276.1 Message Board Post: Payette Independent Payette, Idaho Thursday, December 13, 1900 TOWN CLOCK HAS BEEN STOLEN. The elegant, one-day, one-dollar alarm clock donated to the city hall by Milton Lauer has been stolen. Some conscienceless vandal, filled with liquid exuberance and caring little for the ultimate salvation of his soul has doubtless made way with this munificent gift to the public. It is said that the council will offer a large reward for its recovery and that Marshal Little has been instructed to search every suspicious character seen within the city limits. A more heinous crime has not been perpetrated in this community since Tim Driscoll and W. A. Coughanour got away with 18 Thanksgiving turkeys.
