A STIRRING SCENE IN KINGSION POST OFFICE Bank Clerk Guarding Big Sum | - of Money Relieved of His Revolver. | | | According to the story going the | rounds to-day and vouched for as | the truth, it is a good thing that { there were no bdld bad bandits hang. { on Thursday, for had there been | some men of this calibre, Kingston would have had a big robbery to re- | port. "Ut 'Happened in this way. A mes- ducer and a clerk of one of the ! local banks went to the post officé | to send off a large sum of money by messenger was engaged in gettfng the necessary stamps while the clerk, who evident- i.ly had been out late the night be- | tore and was very sleepy, was lean- ing against one of the counters, waiting for the messenger. A certain young fellow came into the post of- { fice at this time and he noticed something protruding from the hip pocket of the-clerk. It Was d revol- ver, as bank clerks are provided with a weapon to protect themselves when they are carrying large sums of money. The young fellow who noticed the revolver in the bank clerk's pocket, thought it would be a good joke to relieve him of it. And he' succeed- ed in pulling off the trick with very little trouble, The/ drowsy clerk did not miss his gun and the young chap | who pulled it out of his pocket hand- ed it to the clerk in the post office. In due time the messenger had posted his '*heavy mail" and joined the clerk and the two started for the door. * "Had you not better take this with you?" remarked the post office clerk, holding up the revolver which had been taken from the bank clerk's pocket. To say that the bank clerk was astonished is but putting it very n.ildly. "How in B----did you get that?" asked the bank clerk who was all excited. And then the young fellow who | nabbed the revolver and the post | office clerk laughed. It was a good joke all right but the case went to show just what might have happened if any gun- men had been in the post office at the time. For certain something would have happened not {in the programme. But all's well that ends well, but the bank clerk will np, | doubt keep a closer tab on nl revolver in the future. EVIDENCE NOT SUFFICIENT To Convict Charles Grass of Trafficking in Liquor-- Police Court Cases. There was a very busy session of police court on Friday morning. Charles Grass was charged with trafficking in liquor, but after con- siderable evidence had been taken, Magistrate Farrell stated that the evidence .would not warrant a con- viction. The court remifded the ac- cused that he was a marked man and had been looked upon as a 'dealer in wet goods. Grass stated that the six-months' sentence which he re- ceived some time ago had taught him a lesson and he was not dealing in liquér and had no intention of doing so. Joseph Feeney, who gave evidence in connection with the Grass case, when sehted listening to. the evi- dence, was placed under arrest on order of Chiet of Police Robinson, on a charge of (rafficking in liquor. It was stated by one of the witnesses that Feeney had something to do with the liquor deal in which Grass was alleged to be mixed up. Feeney's evidence did not seem to appeal to the court. T. J. Rigney, K.C., crown attorney, who prosecuted, stated af- ter the court session that it was his intention to go into the evidence given by Feeney very carefully, and there was a chance that a more seri- ous charge might be laid. When Feeney was charged, he stated that he would like an adjournment to al- low him to get & lawyer, so the case was set for next Tuesday. A county resident, who was charg- ed with being under the: influence of liquor, denied the accusation, but the evidence of Constable Garrity and a young lad, who was on the street, registered a conviction. . Another county resident was charged .with having liquor in a place other than a private dwelling, but the evidence was not sufficient for a conviction. May Never Take Seat.
