Your fanciers may look out at tho next show. The police hod a smart chaso on Saturday after the mou reported as having broken, into Merry lees' store. Constable Tronsou went by train to Te Auto in plain clothes and then started back along the main road whilst Sergeant Ryan followed on horseback from Waipawa, and a little beyond the hotel at To. Auto overtook them, Tronson being about fifty yards: in front. The fellows looked first at ouo and then the other, and concluded to throw up tho sponge. So when the sergeant cbartffed. Jr , . them with breaking and enteriug, Weatea" > said " All right," while Christie raadono " '" reply. Oa enquiry, he found they had been to the hotel and had left their swage there. They wero marched to the station, in readiness for ths train, nnd yesterdaymorning were brought before Mr Inglis, J.P., and remanded till this morning. An examination of Mr Merrylees' promisee showed that they had effeoted an entrance by breaking a pane of glass in the Wtahen 4 window atd forcing the catch. It appears "' 5 that Warren called at the store on IWday afternoon and asked leave to leave his ewag, aud at 9 p.m. called again for it, and took it away. Soon after midnight Mr Morrylees was aroused by a noiso down stairs, and got up to see what it meant. He found the men sitting on the floor with ' a pair,of tongs from the kitchen them, and taxed them with housebreaking, to which thoy replied that they only wanted a shakedown, and begged him to ovwlook it. Hβ opened tho front door and ordered them to clear out. Warren, who appeared drunk, asked to be allowed to take his boots with him, having left them in the kitchen. Christie appeared sober. They willmako a final appearance before the Bench to-clay.
