Synopsis

One of several boys playing along a railroad track picked up an old stocking in which something
was tied, and, after he had swung it about in play for a time, a second one of the boys snatched it,
or, it having been thrown by the finder, the second boy picked it up, and began striking the other
boys with it. In this way it passed from one to another, and finally, while the second boy was
swinging it, it broke open and money was found therein, all then examining it together. Held that,
efforts to find the true owner having been unavailing, the money belonged to all the boys in
common.
