The story of an unusual swindle was alleged in a police report made yesterday by Mr. K. Nocht, of photography supply shop In St. George's Building.

The report stated that an unknown iman went to the shop and tendered $30 note in payment for two rolls of Rims which cost $1.40. On re- ceiving his change the man did not seem to be satisfied with and changed it four times. When he finally left the shop it was found that during the transaction he had re- ceived $35 In excess of his proper change.
