’iiie Grey Star says By smashing a glass door and by manipulation of the inside locks thieves entered MeGruer’s di apery store during Friday night and made off with a considerable amount of men’s wear. The smashing of the glass was apparently done after the thieves had failed to force an entrance by removing the lock with the a,id ot a screw-driver and chisel. The woodwork was liacked away by the lock and the screws removed. Judging by appearances amateurs were at work. The [date glass was probably hit with a hammer. Articles wore removed front the men’s department, and a few shillings from a cash desk. Clothes were Jeff thrown about the floor. A represbntativc of the firm expressed his opinion that the thieves were just trying to get personal outfits.
