Woman Dons Stolen
Trousers, Oefies Clerk.

A woman. said to be the wife of
postmaster in an adjoining county
went into store in Bay City, Mich.
and asked to see a young mans
suit of clothing.
She asked the clerk if she might
step into anocler room and try on
the trousers, saying her son was
the same size as herself.
When she came out she had her
skirt on as usual, but no trousers
were in sight, and she started away
without paying for them. The clerk
asked her to settle.
The woman refused and defied
the clerk to take possession of his
employers property. He had to call
policeman, and the trousers were
not recovered until she was ar.
