SUSPICIOUS INCIDENT
PARTLY BURNED BOX [by TELEGRAPH —press association] j GREYMOUTH, Monday A baker employed by the Runanga Co-operative Society, when going to work last evening, discovered a box containing bottles and straw under a storeroom in the yard. The straw and the box were partly burned. The bottles contained water, and when they burst as a result of the heat the water extinguished the fire. To gain admittance an intruder would have had to jump a high gate. Had tho society's premises been destroyed the damage would have exceeded the loss sustained in the big fire yesterday morning.
