Oscar M. Johnson who is employed at the Montgomery Ward store here reported to police last week that his billfold was stolen out of his pants pocket. He said his trousers were hanging on the dresser of his room in the DeVolne hotel and his dresser is near the window. Ruben Fimer who rooms with Johnson and is employed by the 303 Cab company, also lost some change out his pants pocket.
