One of the nerviest and yet least
| looked for method of stealing was
discovered Tuesday of last week at
the Longfellow store. It seems that
it has been his custom to do this up
on former occasions from the manner
in which he went about it. During
the afternoon a young Mexican boy
went up to the grocery department
and purchased few small packages
of groceries, and asked for a box to
put them in. The clerk never
thought anything unusual, as he was
in the habit of giving them a small
box when they haye a number of
small articles to carry. The boy put
his purchases into the box and start
ed off. 1t happened that the clerks
attention was called to something in
| the back of the store, and as he was
about to turn and go behind the
counter, he noticed the boy to whom
he had Just sold the groceries, put
down his box and proceed to take a
sack of -four, put it on the box and
start out. He Immediately went
after him and brought him back and
took him to Jail where he will receive
a sentence this week.
