SHOP LIFTERs IN MCCLURE.
Detected in the Act.

Our correspondent at Mcclure writes rs
that on Tuesday Mr.. Sheriff. with his wife
and moiher-in-laW came to town with poultry
from Bartlow township. After disposing Of
the same to Mr.. Franklin they went TO the
store of J. L. Gillett to draw their cash and
do some trading. While the young woman
was looking at and buying goods the old lady
was concealing under the shawl she had on
shavls and other goods, all unnoticsd by the
clerks. From this store they went to the
store of 7. W. Durbin and repeated the same
operation, and were successful in getting tn g
stolen goods to their wagon and started north.
The merchants about this time discovered
their loss and went in pursuit and overlook
the parties. Search was made and the goods
found. No arrests were made, as Mr.. Sher-
riff disclaimed any knowledge of the matter
until the goods we're found in his wagon, and
said that he bore good reputation in Hamler
Deshler, and as the merchants got their goods
back the parties were given sound lecture
and let go. The old woman gave her name to
the poultry buyer as Mrs. Rinkelman. Peo-
pie in Mcclure think the poultry was stolen,
as the parties started north when they
left town, but went south afterward.
Merchants at Hamler and Deshler will do
we'll to be on their guard. Value of pr operty
stolen about 81 at each store.
