Two OF our young lads stole the sum OF tn
LOO from Wing Lee, the Chinaman, last
thursday night. They went into the m
lundry and while one took supper with mr.
i'm, the other took the money from the r.
III. Soon after they left the laundry,
Wing Lee discovered the theft and sent an
fficer after them. The officer went to the IN
oys' parents, who restored the money to
ling Lee and it is said, made the way OF tn
he transgressor seem anything but pleas
nj to their foolish sons. A classical | pe
purse at the Reform School might prove m,
