This is the third robbery in Dun- dalk in recent weeks. During the New Year's weekend the Dundulk store 'ot F. T. Hill & Co., was burglarized and a lame atmntity of "owls stolen, while McAllister's garv age was also broken into and more wads taken, and then a little later the Hill Fvore in Markdale was brok- en into and a big haul made there. It is the opinion of many that tbme robberies are being committed by an orzanized "ring" who have some way or disposing of their loot. 7 . -,.A l" - .'

The store was completely cleaned out of women's silk hesi- ery. but one pair being left, and lluy were found Just outside of the door where they had been dropped by the intruders in their hurry t1 get away. The firm had only recent- lv replenished their Mock of silk ho- siery and their shelves were full. Goods at an estimated value ol w bout $2,000 were taken from the gen- eral store o f Armstrong k. Son, of Dundalk. sometime during Tuisday night or in the early hours of Wed. nesday morning by unknown per- scns leaving no trace whatever. Tho More was entered by way of the front door. a Jimmy hem: used with whit-h to pry open the door ' and when at 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning the owners came to open up the store they found both the side and rear doors of the place open.
