An Aged Woman Arrested at Howe &
 Stetson's Yesterday.
 A woman apparently about sixty years of age and smal in stature at tracted considerable attention in Howe & Stetson's dry goods house on Chapel street, shortly before o'clock last evening. About that time the woman in question, who was poorly clad in black, and wearing an old fashioned shawl over her shoulders, while walk ing past the underwear counter was seen to pick up lady's undergarment, place it under her arm and hurry out of the store. The proprietors were mo- tified and they apprehended the wo- man after she had proceeded a short distance up the street. While on the way back she allowed the stolen gar ment to drop to the sidewalk. She was taken into the store and confronted by the two young lady clerks who saw her take the garment. She, of course, denied the taking, but Sergeant Bow CTS took her to police headquarters. She refused to divulge her name. The proprietors of the store declined to prosecute, and after being thoroughly warned the woman was allowed to go.
