HANDBAG STOLEN
THEFT FROM CABLE CAR. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington,- October 18. Another case of bag-snatching occurred on one of the Kelburn cable cars. A lady was coming to the city for the purpose of paying several accounts and in order to put on her gloves placed her handbag on the seat of the car. The car pulled up at one of the usual stopping places and just as it moved off, a male passenger seized the bag and jumped off the moving car. This left the lady helpless as she could hot follow her property, the car being well under way before she could collect her thoughts.
