While stepping from the 1:50 east
bound interurban car yesterday VIII
liam Bottomly of tUica felt some one
crowd up against him. He gave the
occurrence no consideration. He
walked down the street and boarded
a car for the races, after riding a
few blocks he discovered that his
purse which contained SO in curren-

from his pocket.
Mr.. Bottomley had the purse after
he boarded the interurban car at Uti-

but no trace of the pickpocket could
be found.
