SYDNEY’S THIEVES.

GO FOR SHOPS.

(Rec. 10.10.) SYDNEY, Feb. 21. Thieves and cracksmen looted more than three thousand pounds in property and cash from suburban shops and homes last night and to-day. A tailoring shop in the Main Street of Manly was stripped except for clothing on display in the windows. The haul included 250 suit lengths, four hundred pairs of sports trousers and other goods of a total value of two thousand pounds. It was apparently removed in a truck. Tapestries and cushions valued at five hundred pounds were taken in a similar manner from a Darlinghurst furnishing warehouse. Sums of money totalling five hundred pounds disappeared from flats as the result of the activities of burglars.

A FATAL SHOOTING.

(Rec. 9.0.) SYDNEY, Feb. 21. The victim of the shooting in Darlinghurst on Monday night died in hospital to-day. A man who was convicted as a sly grog seller,' at first refused to talk to the police, but later gave them three conflicting stories of the shooting. They believe the shooting was the result of an altercation at his home, which they state, was a well-known sly 'grog shop.
