A new mode of swindling has
been practiced recently by some
lads who are well up in their teens
and therefore old enough to be
looked after by the officers if such
practice is kept up longer. It has
been their custom to steal tobacco
or cigarettes at local stores, and
then take the stolen goods to other
firms and demand return of their
money, claiming to haye purchased
the articles at the latter store.
There have been cases in which
they bought tobacco on credit and
it to other business houses,
collecting cash for it. The swindlel
has come to the attention of several
and it is likely that a
halt will be called.
The women of Wcodcraft of
Mary's Peak Circle are justly proud
of their order and the pronptness
with which it meets all obligations.
