Burglars at Winterport.

Bangor. August 1.-The store of f. W.
Haley at Winterport, general merchandise
dealer, was entered by burglars Tuesday
night, and $500 worth of watches, rings and
Jewelry and $1,000 unnegotiable notes taken.
The notes were mostly against farmers in
the vicinity for small sums. Mr.. Haley
deals in carriages and took the notes in
part payment. Both safes were locked with
only one turn so all the thieves had to do
was to open.the door and take what they
could find.
The notes were in an iron box in one safe,
which was carried off. There was no money
in either safes. Mr.. Haley says that he left
the safe open, as he had some mirrors in
the store and didn't want burglars to break
tn am by blowing open the doors. Entrance
was made by forcing up a front window
with chisel. The post Office was also en-
tered and the safe opened but nothing
was taken.
