Children Cry for CASIO 1A Clinton BuRGLARLY.—On Saturday evening••` or Sunday morning the hardware store of Davis & Rowland was burglarized and a lame ailment of cutlery carried. off. The thieves first bored an auger - hole in the cellar window at the rear of the store, but they struck sheet iroxi' and were compelled to abandon the scheme. Next they climbed up to they office window, also in the rear of the store, and pushed the shntters open far" enough to get their hand in to loosen. the fastener, so that the shutters could go wide open,thusmaking- the entrance qui te easy. After they had got all the- knives and razors they wanted, they' adjoureed to the back door of the gent's furnishings establishment of Holloway & Morrish. Here again the, auger was brought into service and as hole large enough to insert their hand. was bored, and just below the lock, apparently with the intention of turn- ing the key, which they hoped to find inserted in the lock inside the doom. Mr. Morrish, however, in closing his: store Saturday night, put the key in. his pocket, as was his usual custom,. and consequently, this means of access- failed. ccessfailed. Mrs. Wm. Moore, who lives close by, was awakened about 3 a.m.- by the continued barking and growling' of theirlittle dog, which was in the house,and it is supposed the burglars became alarmed by the noise and fled,, for no further attempt was made upon the store to gain an entrance. Sanday morning the news soon spread, and every person was racking their brains trying to figure out whe the thieves could be. The Chief: of Police and Con- stable Welsh immediately started out to look for them, and also a couple of citizens got their bicycles and travelled. nearly all day in a circuitous route in hope that they might spot somebody ripen whom they might lay the blame, but upto the present time no: clue has: been iscovered to lead to the arrest of the midnight marauders.
