able to find them.
A peculiar feature Of the robbery is
the store were in the place at about
noon time and as late as o'clock in
the afternoon. The persons doing the
job must have been watching them
closely to have been able to get in and
out without being seen.
The money was left in the safe which
was closed but not locked. it bein Gus
tomary to Just give the knob Of the
combination a slight turn but not
enough to throw the tumbler out of
place. According to the officers the job
must have been done by a nervy pro-
fessional or someone who was familiar
with the conditions there.

as to whom the guilty parties are and it
is probable that they will have a chance
to explain their whereabouts on Sunday
afternoon sometime during the coming
week.

morning by w. G. Gagne when he opened
his hardware store on Main street nearly
opposite the Giguere store. Here en-
trance had been obtained by breaking out
a windown and then opening the door.

was missing and it was evidently the
work of boys. A new pane Of glass was
set In place Of the broken one and Sun
day night it was again found broken
out, although owing to the fact that Pa
trolman Cunningham was just through
the alley few minutes before Mr..
Gagne opened the store and found i,Ie
break 1t was evident that the perso rs
who wanted to get in this time did not
have a chance.
