A CHEEKY TRAMP,
Stole Money and Then Buys Goods from
the owner.

A genuine case of nerve was observed
In this c!;y this week, and as the result
Mrs. David Cushie is bewaling the loss
of her pocketbook with several dollars
in 1t. The victim keeps bakery shop
on the upper part of Belmont street
and had left the front of the building
to do some work in the kitchen. She
did not return to the store till she was
attracted by a knocking on the show
case. She went to wait on the GUS
toner and once and was somewhat sur
prised to find him a knight of the road
He asked for bread, cakes and other
things which would taste good to q
hungry tramp, In payment he hand
ed Mrs. Cushie s. bill which some
what surprised her. as bills of such
denomination do not often find their
way to the pockets of the wanderers.
She gave the change, however, and the
fellow walked out of the store.
Soon after Mrs. Cushie looked for
her pocketbook, which she had left be-
hind box of candy in the show case.
The pocketbook was not there though,
and she soon came to the conclusion
that the tramp had taken it.
The matter, together with a descrip-
ton of the thief, was given the police,
but no trace of him has yet been found
