A Curious Watch And Chain

Major Soule has in his possession a curious and valuable watch and chain sent by Dr. Leonard, of western fame, to be added to the Leonard collection of curiosities in the museum.

They are of massive, yellow gold, the chain itself weighing half a pound. It is uncomfortable to wear but satisfactory to contemplate, as Arnold, the jeweler, values the watch and chain at about $500.

The chain is crudely made, as though Dr. Leonard had utilized the trick of his dental profession in the art of the goldsmith. Each long link is inlaid with a kind of quartz or granite and the case of the watch is also ornamented with the same unique design. The stones were collected by the doctor himself and the work was done by him. The watch was sent to Major Soule about a year ago, and is only waiting for a safe place in the museum before it will be exhibited to the public gaze.
