sHoPLIFTERs ARE BUSY.
Several Stores Report Losses During
The Past Few Days.

Torch Lake merchants report that
during the past few days, numerous
wares have been removed from their
display counters by shoplifters. The
attention of the police officers will be
called to this matter. and every eff
fort made to detect the offenders and
bring them to a prompt punishment.
The crowds OF Christmas shoppers in
all of the stores have made II sim
pie matter for shoplifters to operate.
Some OF the merchants attribute the
present losses to the fact that no par
ticular attention has been paid to
small thefts in the past. Merchants
have shown considerable leniency in
cases of this kind, which is believed
to have encouraged the shoplifters.
Local merchants will be on the alert
from this time on to detect any Of
tenders, and IL possible an example
will be made to any one caught.

time of the visit of the Chicago fight
manager to this city i'm connection
with the recent proposed fight Reed
is also manager of Cutler and when
the boxing program fell through he
expressed a desire to bring Cutler here
for a match against Lehto or some 9TH
er good local wrestler. Recently when
in Chicago Zbyszko agreed to throw
three men i'm one hour Cutler was
one who responded. The first two
were easily disposed of but at the end
of the hour the big Pole had not yet
thrown Cutler.
Person is the champion of the Pa
cific coast and has lately been cleaning
up all wrestlers in the northwest. He
recently threw two of Duluths best
wrestlers In an hour. with time to
spare. Person recently issued chal-
lenge to Lehto of this city which was
not accepted, Lehto claiming that he

engagements. Notwithstanding which
he issued a challenge to Kangas after
the latter had thrown Wiirtanen at
Tshpeming last week Richard Gala

match between Cutler and Person,
would like to arrange to have Lehto
take on one of them on New Years

pitted against a really good man. 1t
is expected that other good wrestling
matches will be arranged during the
winter. for which some of the best men
in the business will be brought here.
