SATURDAY, April 10.
The store of j. A. Creighton & Co, was
broden open last night. The burglar or
burglars burst pane of glass in the door With
screw driver removed the lock, and thus gave
themselves free entrance. They smashed
the money drawer and took all the funds there
in amounting to about SIS. A piece of flannel
was removed from shelf and portion of it
cut off, apparently with a knife, and thus a
chair was carried from the counting room to
main store near the s:ove, where the crackmen
coolly fitted themselves with boots. A coat
and vest were also stolen. They were very
particular when removing the lock TO save all
the screws and place them on the show case.
There has be number of such deprsdations
committed about the stores and vessels in that
section of the town, and evidently not by
tramps but by local thieves, Mr. Crighton
caught purloner in the act few days ago at
his store and should have made an example of
