DARING THEFTS
Snakes, alligators and hippopotamuses are being stolen

The daring burglar who stole snakes from the Cirque de Paris in recent days seems to have many imitators. It has been announced that two of Captain Wall's famous crocodiles have just been stolen from the Empire. At the Olympia, a seal has also disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Finally, yesterday, at the Jardin des Plantes, a young pickpocket, taking advantage of a moment of inattention by the guard, managed to get hold of the hippopotamus and ran away as fast as he could, carefully hiding his modest theft under his jacket.
