BOLD BURGLARY.
w. n. Ballentlne's Double Stor e En-
tered.-About R25.OO Worth
of Goods Stolen.

Sometime through the night last
Thursday Misses Hattie and Kate
Hayes, who sleep in the rooms up
stairs in the Doelle Block, heard
noises in the rear Of w. III. Ballen-
tines store but being frightened, as
would naturally be the case, they did
not make any alarm. Friday morning
when the clerks opened the store they
found considerable stuff missing and
goods strewn on the floor The back
door which had been securely bolte d
the night previous, presented a seive-
like appearance. 1t would seem that
whoever entered the store knew ex-
actly where the bolts were located-one
at the top, one at the bottom and one
in the centre of the door, Holes were
made in the panels OF the door with a
two-inch augur and enlarged with a
pocket knife through which a small
sized hand was showed to release the
bolts.
A gang of thieves must reside i'll the
