A DARING THEFT; TEN DOLLARS GONE

  Saturday evening about 8:30 o'clock, while Dr. O. J. Cole of Milwaukee was making a small purchase in the John H. Paas and Son's drug store, he placed a ten dollar bill on the show case while being waited upon and stepped a short diatance away to inspect some goods, a young man who stood among the crowd of the customers, suddenly grabbed the money and made his escape through the front door.
   As soon as Mr. Paas, Dr. Cole and several bystanders realized what had happened, they immediately gave chase but the thief had made his escape. On leaving the store he ran diagnonally across the street toward the First State Bank and south on Fond du Lac avenue, where traces of him were lost. He probably turned into one of the alleys and onto the railroad track, where detection was not so probable.
   The thief is described as a young man, short and stout, rather poorly dressed. He was an entire stranger in this vicinity and was probably waiting for just such an opportunity.
