Three Lose Money as Crowd Attends Auction of Goods Alarm Given After Two Discover They Had Been Bobbed; Third Also Found Minus Cash; Unusual Number of Strangers Present But None Aroused Suspicion A pickpocket mingled with the large crowd at an auction sale at Alonzo Phillips’ farm a mile north of Lucan on No. 4 highway Thurs­ day, April 18th, but his presence was not realized until too late. Three of the patrons' of the cash auction sale learned of his operation only when they had lost $71 in cash and not a suspicious character was seen in the crowd. The sale was only for cash and the buyers had to show cash on the line to claim their purchases so the intending buyers came with money in their pockets. . In the press at the auction Harry Morgan, of Lucan, was the first vic­ tim to realize what was happening. He bought something and went to the farm house where the cash was to be paid over. He had nothing',in his pocket where $33 had rested safely, he thought, only a few min­ utes before. Then Fred Armitage, Biddulph Township, similarly found he had no cash to make a payment. He bad lost $23. Alarm Given The two victims got together and declared something should be done about it. So they had it announced from the auction stand that a pick­ pocket was diping into pockets in the crowd^ For a moment it was an,unnerved crowd. Everyone secretly , delved into his pockets to make sure his roll was still there. ‘In the crowd only one other victim was found, Ben Bevington, Biddulph Township, whose $15 was gone. But the sale must go on, so it was not until S o’clock Wednesday night that word of the thefts was brought to the attention of the po­ lice when Traffic Officer Gilchrist of Lucan was notified. By then the crowd had dispersed, one of their number at least $71 the richer. 25 YEARS AGO April 22, 1915 Mr. Owen S. Atkinson has taken full charge of the Tinshop depart­ ment of T. Hawkins & Son.
