The CARNIVAL OF HOLIDAYS.

Spencer, July 1S-The first appear
ance this season of pickpockets in this
vicinity was made known today The
victim was man by the name of Smith
who claims to make his home in Spen-
Ger. and who is an employee in the Isaac
Prouty & Company boot and shoe fac
tory. Smith told his story to one of
the prominent Main street newsdeaIers
who gave it to the Spy man this fore
noon.
The scene of the theft was on the
warren, Brookfield & Spencer electric
car, coming from Lashaway park to
spencer. Mr.. Smith was seated in the
rear OF the car between two other men,
neither of whom he knew. When the
car approached Harrington street the
conductor as usual commenced taking
Iares. Mr.. Smith paid his fare, putting
nus change into small pocket in the
'front.' of his coat. The ar had not pro-
ceeoed far before Mr.. Smith felt a
sOght pulling at his coat pocket.
He looked down and saw the hand of
, the stranger fooling about his pocket.
The owner of the misguided paw re-
moved it and placed 1t where it legally
belonged, with look of profound limo
cence on his face. Mr. Smith looked at
the crook sharply, and gave him a Sc
we're reprimandlng. The mans face
plainly showed his guilt and he was not
long in changing his seat to another
part of the car.
As long as the thief had not been
apie to secure anything Mr.. Smith de-
elqed to let him go unpublished.
Lashaway park is an excellent place
Tor pickpockets to get in their work,
as nothing of the kind is expected by
Inc working people who seek a little
amusement at this pretty resort. Last
year there were several victims of these
petty thefts, one young man losing
line gold watch. There were many 9th
er people besides who lost small sums
OF money, which they We're unable to
account for.
