On Saturday afternoon last two able- bodied characters, who might be counted as belonging to the society known as "trampu’. came down Yonge street on foot and stopped at the Dominion House for refreshments. A short time afterwards the bar tender. Mr. J. Ellson. Jr., was called to the stable to direct a horseman where to put a stallion, leaving the two pedestrians alone in the bar. On returning from the stable he missed a $5 bill which he had left in the drawer. The two tramps having started down the street, and Mr. Ellteon suspecting them of taking the money, he at once informed Constable Brownlee of his suspicious when they se- cured a horse and rig and started in pursuit. They caught up to the suspects about half a mile below the village, brought them back to the lock-up, and searched them, but the missing money was not found.
