Night before last, O resident Of the Fourth
ward, while shopping, was swlndled out of q
basket of provisions intended for his Sunday
dinner. Having loaded his market basket
with good things he started for home, and, on
the way, he stopped at McCormick's grocery
stare, corner of Rice street and Summit avenue,
for the purpose of filling can with kerosene
oil. On entering the store he left his market
basket at the entrance, and, on coming out, he
was astonished to find that it had been stolen.
It was learned that two women had been seen
about that time carrying basket up Summit
avenue.
It is too bad to give the thing away, but
still it is altogether too good to keep. Dur
ing the engagement of the "Merrie Makers"
at the Opera house last week number of the
o P gang became spooney on several young
and sprightly members of the ballet. When
the company were here the young ladies in
question played the enamored bloods for
all they were worth and when the company
started for Minneapolis half score OF ST.
Paul snobs were almost crazy. Yesterday
there might have been seen on the way to
Minneapolis half dozen double seated and as
many single seated cutters. They were in
charge of the aforesaid bloods who intended
taking their charmers out for ride.
They were destined to be fearfully and wonder
fully left. Upon arriving at the hotel they
learned to their chagrin that the girls had
given them the grand "shake" and were about
to enjoy dash over the snow in the company
of Minneapolis noodles. They met in the
bar room of the st. James hotel, the st.
Paul and Minneapolis blooes. There was
fearful encounter. Blows followed words,
and last evening there was big inquiry for
sticking plaster.
