Quite a commotion was occasioned at
st. Mary's Convent, early Monday morn
ing by the discovery that the building
had been broken into. The Sisters and
children were very much alarmed and
sent for assistance at once but the In
truders made their escape before they
could be spprehended. Nothing was
missing from the building and it is prob
able that whatever their object, the par
ties must have been frightened away be-
fore they had an opportunity to accom-
plish 1t. The rumor that has been cur
rent that Father Laeroix received letter
threatening damage to the convent pro-
perty is without foundation. No such
communication was received and there
has been no menace except the incident
above referred to.
