THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. BAVE CHASE TO THIEF } WHO RAN OUT OF HIS STORE | i WITH A GOLD WATCH, i. Sugarman, Second-hand Dealer, | Had Lively Time With Stranger on | Thursday Night--Man Made iis! Escape Afterwards. The police and H. Sugarman, the well-known Ontario street second-hant dealer, are on the, lookout for a young man, who entered the latter's store, | on Thursday night, about nine o'clock, and. succeeded in getting away with al lady's gold-filled watch. { Mr. Dugarman was not at the store' at the time the theft was cominitted,! but was on the scene in time 'to give the thief a lively chase before he made his escape. i Mr. Sugarman was talking to a man! at the lower fire station, across the road from his store, when he noticed a young fellow come out of his store. | As there was no person in the store! to wait upon people, he went overio! see the customer. : The stranger wad carrying a good- sized parcel, and as he noticed Sugarman coming towards him, took to his heels. But Mr. Sugarman was game, and although not by any means in a class with "Tom" Long- boat, and other such celebrities, he managgd to keep close to the man with the parcel. On Ontario street, to Market street, the. two ran at speed, and people who happened to be in the neighborhood were at a loss to know what was the matter. Reaching Market street, the stranger circled around the city buildings, came around on Ontario street, and went over the same ground again, but on reaching Market street, the leader then took to! the wuter front, and it was here that] Mr. Sugarman lost trace of his man! and had to give up the chase. When passing the corner of Ontario' and Brock streets the man dropped sompthing from his parcel, and it was folind to be a brand new boot. The' boot does not belong to Mr. Sugar man. i In addition to the watch, Mr. Su-| garman missed a couple of razor cases. The man, no doubt, picked up the cases, and thought that he had the razors too, but if this was his idea, he was sadly mistaken. Mr. Sugarman had the laugh on the fellow | in. this respect. i rr ---- te | A SACRED CONCERT i Was Given in St. Luke's Church on Thursday Evening. i A splendid programme was provid- | ed to a large and appreciative audi- | ence in St. Luke's church, on Thurs-| day evening, at an organ recital and | sacred concert. There was hardly an! empty seat in the church, and the many who came weré not disappoint- ed. Organ selections were played by R. R. F. Harvey and solos were sung by Miss Mae Hinckley, Charles Har- vey, Miss Urace Mitchell, James Ial- liday and Arthur Craig.

When a car owner carries extra tire | tubes he should see to it that they | are protected from injury. Before being placed in the repair box, tire tubes should be wrapped in paper or cloth. This protects them from com- ing in contact with any sharp edged ; tools which might cut through them, | and also keeps light and grease a- | way from the rubber. And care should also be taken to protect spare tires. | Paid Official Visit. E. J.
