A sleek-looking individual who early
last night worked the old flimfiam game
on a ticket agent at the Elite moving
picture show on upper King street is
today being sought for by the police. As
result of the game the proprietor of
the show is s. to the bad, and, worst Of
all, the operator Of the swindle is enjoy
ing his liberty.
The man shortly before 8 o'clock last
night called at the office Of the show
and asked for two tickets, which were
sold him at cents each. In payment
for the same he rendered the agent. Miss
Moore, a five-dollar bill. The agent held
the bill in one hand while she made the
required change, $3.50. with the other.
The stranger in a moment said that he
did not care for 50 much small change.
and made an effort to get the required
change from his pocket. He pulled out
one or two pennies and also a one-dollar
bill
While the agent was preparing to get
the necessary change for the one-dollar
bill the stranger grabbed the IS bill which
the agent held in her hand and ran from
the place. AS he did SO he gave the
tickets.to youth. and In a few moments
all trace of him was lost. Mr. Smith was
upstairs at the time. and when he was
apprised Of the robbery he notified the
police. The police have a good descrip-
ton Of the man. but it Is regarded as
doubtful If he will be apprehended.

and Mrs. George Wilton, and Frederick
