There was another bold attempt at
burglary last night in Johnston, at III
Concord street, a double house, occu-
pied by Mr.. Singleton, the grocer, up
stairs, and by q Mr.. Oldham, who lives
down stairs. The latter's family consists
of himself, his wife and four children,
the oldest Of whom works in Delaine Mill.
She awoke in the middle of the night
aroused by a slight noise and fearing that
some one was in the house called her
mother. She was too frightened to
arouse her, though, and the next
seizing her by the arm, told her to keep
still, as il she remained quiet he would
not injure her. He talked further
with her, telling her he knew her and
where she worked and also knew her
father, but as it was so dark she could
not see his face to give any description
of it. He left, and the frightened
girl managed to arouse her parents
who thought she had been dreaming, but
a search revealed the fact that the bath
room window had been forced and here
the fellow made his entrance and exit.
1t 10 believed that the fellow thought
he expected to find money. 1t is lucky
for him that he was not. as Mr.. Singleton
is prepared for such visitors. The police
were found and Investigated the matter,
but will probably find no trace OF the fell
low, as the girl could give no % description
girls first cry, but thought she was sick
and that her mother would attend to her.
Her little sister who slept with her was
not disturbed and as the door was shut
her parents heard nothing until after the
burglar had gone.
