BOYSIN SWIMMING ROBBED

Harry Northcraft, Il boy about
fourteen years Of age, who lives with
hi, parents at 7i6 Giboncy avenue,
WAS robbed of Il watch 'alGcd II
sd. while swimming at the foot of
the lcvcc yesterday evening at about
l. o'clock.
Northcraft and number Of other
boys in accordance to their regular
custom, entered an old ,hanty boat
near the waters edge, and there
disrobcd and donncd their battling
suit., preparatory to taking their
daily plunge.
The water was exceedingly fine
and the youngsters stayed in longer
than usual When they finally tired
Of the sport and returned 20 the bath
house, they discovered that some one
had been there ahead of them.
Pockets were turned wrong side out,
and everything of value had been
extracted from all the clothing. The
thief in order to delay pursuit had
tied hard knots in the shirt sleeves
and pants legs, and had hidden the
underwear and socks in different parts
of the boat,
Young Northcraft was the heaviest
loser, although each boy contributed
to the swag that the thief made
way with,
All told there were perhaps three
or four dollars stolen besides tobacco,
cigarettes and matches.
They reported their loss to Officer
Kain but he was unable to locate
their valuablcS or apprchend the cul-
prit who had robbed them.
Several people were seen standing
around the old boat while the boys
were taking their swim, and someone
was seen to enter the door, but no
one seemed to have paid enough at
tcntion to their actions to he abb" To
identify the iutrudcrs
A negro boy known rs Nashville
who was recently released from the
rcformatory was detained and search
cd by the officer, but was released
for lack of proof as to his com, ction
with the crime.
