ceive a cold reception II residents OF

Sehests of the police.
One of this tribe worked the smooth
himfiam with great success upon the
cashier of the Portner drug store
The gentleman had some one dollar
notes he desired to exchange for
twenty-dollar bill. The obliging cashier
gave him the twenty, but on counting
the dollar bills found only nineteen.
This discrepancy was called to the at

turned over to the young lady an en-
velope in which she thought she saw
him place the bill she hal given him
so he could mail it, and departed to OBJ
tain the other dollar, first gathering
up the nineteen 81 bills.
When he did not return In an hour
