BOLD BURGLARIEs. During Thursday night,
June 29th, six places of business were entered
money and goods taken and more or less dam
age done. The operations were along the
water front, beginning at the pier of the East
can Steamship corporation. where the office
was entered and money taken from the auto
matte pay station of the N. E. Tel. & Tel. Co.
AID from the gum and peanut machine. The
store of the International Harvester Co. and
garage at the foot of Main street was entered
by breaking glass in the rear door and pushing
back the bolt, and the office of D. Whiting &
Sons creamery in the same block was entered
in like manner. In thu first named place, the
safe was open and about IS in cash was taken,
the inside compartments smashed and steel
box containing several notes, one for $500, was
carried off. 1t is said to be the fourth time
this place has been entered within year, and
that the creamery has been entered five times.
At the latter place the intruders secured
nothing although there we're $14 in the
safe, which was unlocked. and it is supposed
they were frightened off. The store of B. o.
Norton on Front street was entered through
window near the Office desk and SIS in change
and 81 in stamps taken. A mileage book and
check were among Che things left scattered on
the floor. Joseph W. Nero. an employee of
Mr.. Norton. who sleeps on an upper floor and
had dog with him. did not hear a sound dur
ing the night, but discovered the break when
he came down stairs in the morning. The
store of Burleigh Rich on Bridge street near
the Heal granite works was entered through
rear window and SIS taken from the money
drawer. The P. E. Peavey store at Citypoint
was entered from the rear, but as there is an
inner door between the front and back part of
the store the intruders went around and broke
out front window. Here they RECALLED them
selves with Moxie, and took collection of old
coins, So in money and some goods, but failed
to get SIS in money from the desk. which was
locked and which they had attempted to OK en-
with screw driver. One thousand blank car
tridges had been taken from the back to the
front of the store, but were abandoned, no
doubt on discovery that they were blank.
There is no clue as yet to the burglar or bur-
! glars, but it is the general opinion that they
were amateurs, and if residents they will be
apprehended sooner or later
