As a result, they made $10 profit in a few minutes. While one kept the proprietor busy pretend- ing he wanted to buy something', the other preferred a $20 bill in pay- ment for a small purchase. He re- ceived his change and kept that money in his hand, while making another purchase and paying for 't with a small bill. Inen he offered to take the $20 bill back but had palm- ed the $10 in the meatime. The theft was soon discovered but the men had fled. â€" News-Record. .â- ^nd some people are so 'quick on the draw' that they try to cheque money out of their bank account be- for they've put it in.
