Alex Drummond, the "canny Scot
who gathered about a peck of prize
watches from the Mail, and Breeze
came out and pleaded guilty to petit
larceny and will be sentenced Tuesday
morning. Although Drummond stole
about 800 worth Of stuff it is the gen

cuted for grand larceny because he took
sparingly but often, and did not steal
more than $1.00 worth at one time c.
L Hobart one of the business man.
ayers of the Mail and Breeze. says that
Drummond had also been in the habit
of paying his bills with stamps which
belonged to the firm. The Mail and
Breeze management have tried in vain
to keep Drummond in the straight and
narrow way. They assisted to get him
out of the forgery scrape for which he
was jailed not long ago, and gave him
position in the office. DrummOnd
seems to be a hopeless case, and Judge
Lindsay will probably give him the

no avail, she chased them away and
smiled cheerfully al her luck. The street
walking business is getting to be ex-
