DD An gell, who conducts a store on Thomas avenue, called Chief Walsh's attention to the fact that] three boys had taken a number of | pairs of gloves from in front of his store. The chief was given a des- cription of tne youthful thieves and | after a short search discovered their tracks which led through the snow to the rear of the Brundage house. In the rear of the hotel he found the gloves and a few minutes later he found the boys who had stolen them Mr. Angell says that since he began business on Thomas avenue he has been persistently annoyed by boys who take things which are on display in front of his The thieves are in each instance of tore tender years and Mr Angell great ly dislikes to enter complaint to authorities, but recently they have become so bold in their that he will make tr one in the future if the practice of operations uble for some taking his goods 1s not discontin ued. The boys taken in custody by chief Walsh were lecture and allowed to gwen a severe The manner in which the youth- ful thieves plotted to relieve Mr Angell of his goods would make an old timer turn green with envy One of the boys, who has not yet reached the age of ten, went into the store and told the propnetor that he wanted to purchase a cap The proprietor went to the rear of the store where the articles of headgear were kept and while he was showing the youth a cap his at tention was for the moment attract ed from the front of the store. the meantime the lad’s two com- panions took advantage of the pro- prictor’'s absence from the front of the store and proceeded to grab the mittens and place them under neath their coats. Suddenly the boy who wanted to buy a cap de- clared that he had lost his school | card and hurriedly left the store. | By this time Mr. Angell had be- | come somewhat suspicious and as he looked around he saw the two boys who had been in the front of the store leaving with the front of | their coats bulging out consider- | ably more than usual. Mr. Angell then called for Chief Walsh with the result as above stated | It was learned this forenoon that | an effort will probably be made to have the boys taken to a reform! school as their past records would indicate that they are beyond the control of those responsible for their actions.
