TWO sHoP-LIFTERs CAUGHT.

Two negro women were arrested in
fuckers store yesterday for shop-lifting
They were taken before the Mayor and
tried. One Of them, Laura Justice, was
bound over to court, while the other, her
sister, was dismissed for want OF evi-
dnece. It seems that these women had
been pilfnring everywhere, as their bas-
kets contained little of everything from
sets OF CHINA, remnants OF dress goods
and underwear, down to combs, brushes
and boxes of vaseline. When arrested,
Laura had both baskets. Their plan seem
ed to be :for one to do the stealing while
the other was pretending to be buying.
