Four times within the last three
months thieves have visited Good
Wills clothing department. Twice, in
order to effect an entrance. the glass
was broken out of one of the windows
of the clothing room in the manuel
training building The third time Il
pane of glass was carefully cut out and
the fourth time Il heavy wire screen
was crashed in. Twice the visitors left
very old ard dirty clothing in place Of
new garments taken. on two of the oc-
casions they-if there was more than
one-brokc into Good Will cottage ana
helped themselves to food. Last Thurs
day night the slaughter house was
broken into ard 80 pounds Of fresh beef
taken.
The first breaking was attributed to
tramns, on account of the condition and
quality of the garments discarded by
the thieves but later developments have
led the mana cement to ahIndOn TINS
theory. All theft is criminal, but, if one
Thief is meaner than another the pam
