during the rinks tournament last
Thursday, were returned during the
night—on “Friday, ‘after Provincial-
Constable McCleyis paid a visit to
the Village that day, and started'
working on. the' case which was con

■’ The theft of the two of fbur bags,
which were to go as prizes to one of
the winning rinks in the tournament,
was a .daring b’t of thieving. It was
after midnight when the prizes were
.taken to the green and placed in the
Clubhouse, from where they were
later stolen between one and 1.30
o’clock while bowling was going on
just a few paces away.
- ft is believed that-the bags- were
handed through a rear window of
the Clubhouse, to an accomplice who
waited outside.
