AMATEUR DETECTIVES.
A Partially Successful Operation

For some time j. d. Sims aud his
genial clerk have suspected a He
brew cleaner of old clothes, familiar
ly known ms old Smoky, of abstract =
ing articles of clothing from the
counter when there was no one pres
ent to note the circumstances. Ga
Monday Smoky was lowering around
the premises, and in order t. catch
him the counter was baited with four
new vests of the superior quality sold
by Mr.. Sims. The clerk then went
out in the back yard, and Mr.. Sims
made pretended effort at unlocking
the safe, which gave the fish to be
cnught the needful opportunity of
nibbling at the bait. Snorky had a
bundle of old clothes on his arm
which he laid on the counter,
aud presently took up again and
walked out of tie store.
The clerk, returning, saw that one
the vests was gone, and toe two am
ateur detectives started in pursuit,
well assured that they would capture
the criminal with the damning evi.
dence of his guilt still on or about
his person. Smoky, on leaving the
store, went into Gruber's saloon,
and they waited for. him to
come out. In tins dangerous delay
they mourn the cause OF failure to
convict and the loss of good Gus
tom made vest.
Smoky instead Of coming out of
Gruhcr's as he went in, passed on
through and olimbihs over the fence
in the rear, made his next app:araace
on Main street in the vicinity of the
Mill Office. He WAS pursued aud
captured alter II slight struggle nc
panied with much. aud it may
be said, violent verbal remonstrance.
A search failed to discover the
vest, aud it is conjectured that he
disposed of it in place Of safety
during his journey through tho by
WAYS.
Mr.. Sims does not pride himself
exceedingly upon the result of his
venture in the detective line, but is
cousoled when he reflects that it was
at least II partially successful opera
ton.
1t was intended to have Smoky
take vest, and that much of the
scheme became an accomplished
fact. Whether getting nibble
compensates for the loss of the bait
is matter which lies wholly between
himself and his inner conscl-
BUSINESS.
