Toronto, Ont. Oct 6 A smart pickpocket stole $200 from William Brandham in the 
Toronto branch of the Bank of Hamnilton on Saturday noon and got away with 
the money. Branham had just cashed the cheque and was standing at the wicket 
when he felt the man crowd him. When he missed the cash he accused the man 
of taking the money, but the reply was a plump denial. The man agreed to stay 
in the bank while a police was brought in and when Brandham went out for this 
purpose the stranger waited a few minutes and then disappeared. The bank 
officials are blamed for not detaining the alleged thief. 

Toronto, Ont. Oct 6, A fire in a Taylor shop and boarding house on York street, 
kept by a man named Ormstein, today caused the death of Ormstein's seven-
year-old daughter, who was jammed between the bed and the wall and 
suffocated, and serious injury to several inmates of the house. Six men and 
women jumped from the upper windows and sustained bad injuries, one man's 
feet being smashed. Mrs. Omstein, mother of the little girl may die, and a man 
names Fiertsein was so badly burned he is not expected to recover. His wife was 
insensible when taken out, but recovered in fresh air.
