At ten o'clock 011 Sunday night, as Cliff McKee was on his way home, he discovered in passing the meat store of Val Decker on High street, a burglar making an effort to open the money i drawer. His attention was called to the store by the ringing of the alarm bell oil the cash drawer, a number of times in quick succession, and looking in the window, he saw a man behind the counter. His first thought was to notify the police, and he remembered having passed Officer Edward Cramptoii, at the intersection of Broadway.
The officer was still in sight and as quick as possible he was informed of the affair. Returning to the store an effort was made to locate the burglar, but without success. The time intervening between his discovery at work in the store, and the arrival of the Officer at the scene, had been improved by thebcirglar to make his escape. This was done by climbing over an ice chest and making an exit through the window. A thorough search was made for the thief but no trace of him could be found.
The police have no clue and there is little hope that the guilty person will be apprehended. When discovered, the burglar had not been successful in getting the money drawer open so that i nothing was obtained. From Hollis New i Last Saturday W. W. Wood received by mail a box of handsome laurel blooms from the old farm at Hollis.
N. H. The flowers which are umbels, are five petaled. joined into one tube below, with ten scale-like appendages, and a very delicate pink with a ring tinge about the throat. The flowers are decandrous, having ten stamens and one pistel, and a five-sepaled calyx.
The leaves are very nearly the shape and i size of a pear leaf and aru evergreen. Mr Wood's box had enough flowers in it to give a little souvenir, for the i of Auld Lang Syne, to the Hollis folks of 50 years ago, and. thus to call to mind their childhood days on their native heath.
