yesterday, Is something she can't 49,
plain. That she did so; and that u
thief stole The bag containing a num-
ber of articles bought during shop
ping tour and one hundred and three
dollars in cash. was the cause of a
call on Sheriff Glover for the blood
hounds, shortly after two o'clock in
the afternoon.
Mrs. Vandergrift had been to Fair
mont hospital in the morning to see her
husband, who has been treated here
for a broken arm. Findin g that he
was in need OF some clothes she went
to the house of Mrs. Ethel Friend,
416 Morgantown avenue, to get the
garments which she had left there
for that purpose some time ago.
Several other women were in the
room, not three feet away from where
she had left the bag, when the thief
came up on the porch and quietly made
way with it, the loss not being discov-
cred until Mrs. Vandergrift was ready
to leave after having been in the house
about a half hour.
The bloodhounds were dispatched
to the house, but inasmuch as the thief
seemed to have touched nothing but
the bag, the dogs had nothing to work
on. This morning, however, the paper
bag was found on Lumley street con-
tanning everything but the money, and
on being given the scent the dogs
went to a house in the neighborhood.
No arrests have yet been made.
