The .watch, which was valued at £25. was placed by the owner under his pillow on retiring for the night, and its preservation is the more astonishing as all the furniture in the room, including the bedstead, was totally destroyed.

Greyniouth, \ver« leported last night shortly after 8 o'clock by a young man who called at the police stati n and stated he had heard "n -noise" in the shop and had found the doors leading into the yard open. The young man in question had a look round the yard, but did not see anyone about. There was a large niece of meat on the floor of the shop, with knives and saw close by.

There was a hook in the' meat, suggesting that it had been taken down from the rack. The doors were found to be very insecure and could have been pushed open. The proprietor of the shop subsequently reported that nothing was missing from the premises.

A fe'v weeks n-jrit a short cablegram from New York told us that the most . famous (if America's modern detectives, ! Win. J. Burns, had been arrested oil some sort of charge of burglary. From American papers just to hand we learn that Burns —the man who ran th« awful dvuamitards of the I.W.W. to eaiTli and got then convicted of conspiracies to deshoy bridges, buildings and lives all over t'~c Slates three years ago —was convicted of the crime. His offence was really political and diplomatic, although it -was burglary pure and simple. A firm of lawyers held some German documents of prime interest to J. P. Morgan and Co., the great Wall street firm that was acting as the financial Allies in the States for rn'sing loans. Although the Court convicted the detective, holding that a man's home was his castle, and his office whs inviolate, it fined Bums only—£2o! Under English law there is no fine for burglary--it is gaol without the option. "fact piles upon fact."—Kaufniann.
