Ardmore circus day, was heard this
morning when the attention of officer
Redman was called to two pocket pur-
ses, little the worse for being ex-
posed to the weather lying at the rear
of Ramsey's drug store on Main street.
One of the pocketbooks contained en-
dorsed checks amounting to nearly
S400, and the other receipts for dues
paid to the Woodman lodge. The one
containing the checks Is the property
of A. H. Stilwell of Glenn, Okla, who
besides losing the pocketbook and
checks was touched" for about 500
on circus day The one containing
the Woodmen's receipts was the prop
erty OF A. l.. Henry of Milburn whom
the police report had 800 stolen. Be-
sides the receipts there was pass
for two persons to the Barnum and
Bailey show in the purse. Officer
Redman took the purses to the po-
lice station and the parties will be
natifed. They will in all probability
appear here at the trial of the sus-
poets now in the county jail tomor-
