    3. Jackson (MICH) Citizen Patriot, January 9, 1900, p. 7. FOUND $2,000 IN AN OLD BOOK John B. Pankey, manager of the English Hotel at English, Indiana, while looking through the wareroom of the hotel Saturday, found a book with the name of Philip McDonough of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. written on the flyleaf. Between the leaves of the book were four $100 bills, one $500 bill and two $1,000 bills making a total of $2,900. The book is entitled "Protestantism and Catholicity Compared in Their Effects on the Civilization of Europe." Mr. Pankey has no idea how the book came to be in the wareroom of the hostelry nor does he recall ever having had a guest by the name of McDonnough (sic) at his hotel.
