BURGLARIES AT BROKEN HILL.
DARING THIEVES.
Broken Hill. August 20.
A series of burglaries has culminated
in the entry of the grocery establishment
of Huskisson & Co., in Argent-street, and
the theft of £350, chiefly in notes and
gold. Hu?kisson & Co. did a big business
on Saturday, the takings beingplaced in an
iron safe. On Sunday night at 8 o'clock
the place was all right, but this morning
the office was found to be turned upside
down, and the safe was torn from its bed of
bricks and mortar and prised open.
Much noi6e must have been caused by
th« 3 burglars, but they managed to get
stray with their booty.
On Saturday night a thief entered the
o&ce of Kidman Brothers, butchers, and
walked away with the cashbox and £27.
The robber was daring, as he went into
the office while the assistant* were in the
shop, but they, thinking it was the
manage*, took no notice.
