Of late considerable complaint Ras been received at the station house of the opera- tions of milk thieves, The police find it a hard matter to juige whether it iv the op- erations of one or two people or a number of persons, though the indications lead to the belief that perhaps one person is re- sponsible for all of the thefts. The com- plaints do not come from one lccality, but all sections of the town have been visited and the moring supply of milk carried away. Despite the vigilance of the police, who have been specially notified to look out for the pilicrers, no arrests have been mace. Shortly before 6 o'clock U morn- ing Policeman Fennelly arrested Philip Brooke, -a twelve-year-old colored boy, on Suspicioa of stealing some milk. He had two well-filled cans, a pint glass bottle of milk and a quart measure. The boy could give no satisfactory explanation of the matter, and if the milk is found to be stolen he will be held. Some practical joker has succeeded in bringing down upon his head the wr @ number of people in this section city throuxh his operations. He has vis- ited a number of the pumps in this section of the city and smeared a Mberal quantity of Limburger cheese upon the dippers ate tached to them. If some of the victims could lay hands on the joker at the time very little mercy would be shown him.
