A paragraph appeared In the NEWS last

ket basket and two large leather straps

stances leading to the suppositiOn thar

dav from a delivery wagon in front Of
Hanley's paint and oil Store, and that il
contained wnen stolen a NUMBER of ar
{
straps. The thief took the basket from
the wagon. and it is inferred, that after

away. not wishing to have them discov-
cred in mis- possession.
Some cine in the latter part of January

Of castnii boots. IL so
happened thar during the previous night
Mrs. GoOdWin's house was entered by
burllar, who took OF 4 number Of articles.
Including the pair Of boots, and the latter
being Of no value, apparently, TO
the thief, he dropped them where
they were subsequently found. When
Mrs. Goodwin learned that Stewart had
the boots she appeared before Justice
WarIng Russell no issued warrant
on her aniiavit charging stewart with
the burglary. Al an examination he d
b fore the Magistrate yesterday Mr..
Goodwin withdrew her charge and the
