following account Of the theft:
There has been considerable ex-
element today and yesterday at the

s o'clock. Henry I.emar, a veteran

his room In the main barracks TO go
TO supper and left hanging there on
the wall his yestcoat containing a
purse having In II the amount OF
sl,3G0. When he returned the vest
coat and purse we're still there. but
81 900 OF the money had disap-
peared The guilty person had been
clever enough TO leave $3.50 OF the
money In the purse in the hope OF
postponing discovery.
The theft was brought to the at
tention OF the officials at once and
they have been working on the case,
but today nothing definite had been
reached. The affair seems to be
quite entangled and hard TO unravel.
The money stolen consisted all OF
$50 bills. and has not been recov-
cred. Where II went to is the mys-
terry. The exact amount left In the
purse was $500. The officers have
their suspicious regarding the per
petrator OF the deed, and the mer
from the Home report that this Ii
not the first occurrence OF the kind
there. although the others we're moi
so serious in their nature. How Mr.
Lemar happened to have so mucf
money about his person is unknown
except that he was not in the habi
of keeping It in the bank. 1t II
thought that Developments Will come
to light within few days which will
clear up tho case.
