of mr j b pearson was entered by burglars through the rear window the pane being cut from the sash the intruders rummaged throughout the shop opening drawers and cash tills but they decamped taking with them only a revolver and a few coppers from one of the tilk on saturday morning the residence of mr c s smith was visited but in rais ing a window it accidently fell the noise of which aroused the inmates and caused the midnight explorers to depart yesterday moming however they met with greater success the store of mr c b griffin was estroi b- tfae front door the burglars passing throagh the store and upstairs to mr griffins bedroom where they secured a jewel case containing mrs griffins gold chain brooch rings and other jeweller- mr grinns watch and chain and about 820 in cash making in all goods worth about c2o000 mr pearsons store was again visited this time through the front door and two revolvers were taken the residence of mr b haslett was also visited and his bedroom entered where they took possession of two pairs of pants and a vest securing between 13 and 11 in silircr from one of the pants pockets mrs haslett awoke and saw one of the men jost as be was making his way out of the room and mr haslett immediately dressed himself and proceeded in search of the burglars but without success the keys in each case were turned in the locks with some instrument made for the purpose mr howells store door was also tampered with bat no entrance wa effected war rants were issued for three strangers who were in town and they were arrested and searched but as nothing could be proved against them they weri discharged there is no clue to the perpetrators of the bur glary but it is evident that experienced cracksmen did the work several of the articles of jewellery lost by mrs griffin were presents from a dear relative now deceased and were consequently much prized ou that account our civic authori ties are doing all in their power to find the guilty parties and we
