ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
At about 1.30 o’clock this morning an attempted burglary took place at a certain residence in the town. The wife of the occupier of the house, whose bed is opposite the window, was awakened by a slight noise. She noticed a man attempting to gain an entrance through the window. She immediately aroused her husband and the would-be burglar lost no time in getting off the premises. The pol'ce were communicated with and now have the matter in hand. We have been requested to withold the name of the occupier of the premises, but we can say “Sykes” was after big game. THEFT FROM THE FAMILY HOTEL. A theft was committed at the Family Hotel last night, between 8 and ro o’clock. A suit of clothes and a pair of tan boots, the properly of a boarder, were stolen from a bedroom. The thief left an old coat and vest and a pair of boots in exchange. Needless to say the “exchange” is not appreciated by the boarder. The servant’s room was also entered and a soverign and three shillings taken.
