A FINE SCHEME.

HOW n Lot OF PerfumorY Was oh.
tanned.
About noon yesterday two white men,
aged about 25 years, respectively, plainly
dressed and good takers, stopped In front
of Mr.. G. s. Prices drug store, No. 400 Sew
enth street southwest, and after admiring
the pretty toilet articles and colognes in
the store window, selected what they sup
posed to be the most valuable. One of the
men entered the store and represented him.
self as bronzer Of gas-fxtures. Mr.. Price
told the man that he bad nothing for him
to do, and directed his attention TO another
part of the store. While Mr.. Prices back
was turned the man showed o cast.iron
cigar cutter from the counter, shattering it
on the floor. He politely begged Mr..
Prices pardon, and as ho did not have the
money to pay for the damage he would
bronze the gas-fxtures in the window, to
which Mr.. Price consented.
Tho man had not been at work long,
however, before Mr.. Prices attention was
called to the suspicious manner in which
the man was acting. The man would
bronze little and then go outside, osten-
sibly for the purpose of taking an outside
view Of his work. He must have taken
great interest in his work, for he would
hardly be in before he was out again.
When the mans back was turned toward
the window from the outside Mr.. Price
walked to the window and arranged some
large bottles filled with cologne in such
manner as to be easily missed, and then
went to work putting up prescription, at
the same time keeping an eye on the man.
The man soon entered the store again, and
after putting few more touches on the
fixtures passed outside. So did one Of the
bottles Mr.. Price had fixed for him. Mr..
Price waited for the man to come in again,
but the man did not come.
Mr.. Price left the store in pursuit Of the
man, but no trace of his whereabouts
could be found. Thinking, perhaps, that
the man might play the same game on his
brother druggist, Mr.. Judd, a short dis
lance below, Mr.. Price thought no would
step down and post Mr.. judd He had
hardly got inside Mr.. Judd's store, before
the man walked In, looking for job. Mr.
Prices anger got the better of him.
He grabbed the man by the coat collar
and the chances are would have made pills
out of him, had not the man pulled out
from benesth his coat the large bottle of
cologne Mr.. Price had missed from the
window. During Mr.. Prices excitement
the man managed to break away and run,
his confederate, who was waiting on the
outside, joining him. Mr. Price, after re-
turning 10 his store, examined tho show
window and found number of articles
missing, which. it is supposed, the man
passed to his confederate. Mr.. Pcice re-
ported the case to the Police Department,
who arc on the lookout for the men.

lock aud Carrie Davis, were waited in by the

fined 80 each for street profanity. Several

with the defendant, provided that the water
did not run an unreasonable length OF time.
He said citizens paid for the water ana had a
right TO use IT, and the regulations should be
construed to come extent In their favor.

An Intereniing RuIt.

An Interesting replevin suit was tried in
the Circuit Court before Justice Hagner yes
terday, brought by the Brown Manufactur-
ing Company against James DUNCAN. In
January, 1882, DUNCAN was embarrassed in
business and owing to the plaintifi bill,
the paymentof which had not become due.
HIS store on Seventh street was closed by
an injunction issuing out of the Equity
Count, but which he succeeded in getting
Te0pened through an action of replevin,
With the aid of a locksmith, and removed a
quantity of goods.
At the trial of the repevin suit yesterday
the manufacturing company tried to prove
that the action of DUNCAN, in ordering the
go DIS, was fraudulent, as he must have
known that BIO was insovent. This charge
tho defendant denied, who also showed
that he had furniture stored elsewhere than
at the store.
Judge Hagner held that tho defendant
was entitled to damages, and The only
question was tho amount,
Tho jury took the case aud returned a
verdict for one cent damages, which the
Court Instantly set aside.
Mr.. III. w. GARRETT appeared for the
plaintiff and Mr.. ~ II. Miller for tho de.
iendant.
