BURGLAR DISTURBED.
. ' .. »—~ —— '•■.... A MIDNIGHT' INCIDENT. At midnight on ft recent date while a resident of Wanftanui East and his wife were attending a dance, a would-be burglar entered their house. : The intruder had evidently had a look through a couple of rooms, and was beginning a search of the dining room when a lady visitor> who had been awakened by her little child's restlessness, got out of bed and went to tho dining room to secure a drink for the youngster. The man, hearing her approach, darted down the Eassage, rushing right, past the^ startled idy, who screamed out. Assistance was soon at ; hand, but no trace would be found of the intruder. Fortunately, nothing was secured 'by the would-be burglar, but the wife of the owner of the, house had left her jewellery and purse under a hat on the table in the dining room, and no doubt this would have been discovered by the intruder had he not been : disturbed in his search. |
