Lookout for This Sharper.

W. B. Templeton, well-known
merchant, of Williamsport, was victim
lied by sharper Saturday night in a
clever manner. The store was full Of
customers about 8 o'clock, when a
stranger walked in and asked to buy
a shirt. Mr.. Templeton sold him a
shirt for 35 cents in payment for
which the man rendered a $40 bill.
He received 1866 change and walked
out. AS soon as the man had gone
Mr., Templeton discovered that he
had been duped. The $40 bill was a
81 which had been raised to the form
er denomination. Mr.. Templeton
quickly went in search of the sharper,
but he had disappeared and no trace
of him could be found. The raised
note was clever piece of work and
could scarcely be detected except on
close examination. The man was an
entire stranger to Mr., Templeton.
He wore a dark coat, light trousers
and light colored hat and did not
appear to be more than % years old.
He is believed to be the same fellow
who passed raised notes in Waynes-
boro recently. Officers are on the
watch for him.-Hager8tOUn Mail.
This fellow, or some one in the same
line of business, has been operating
extensively in adjoining States. 1t
will be well for our merchants to
keep lookout for him.
