•SOLDIERS’ CLUB ENTERED. (Pee United Press Association.! ASHBURTON, March 31. There is evidence that, while the caretaker of 'he Sr.lrlier*’ <;1 11 h ivsi attending church witli his wife last night a burglar broke into the club, and attempted to open the cash till. Ho apparently climbed tho fire escape, broke tho glass door, inserted his arm, and turned the key inside the door, lie descended to the billiard room, where the till is located, and this he tampered with unsuccessfully with scissors, which were found broken. It is conjectured that a tender kept in the building alarmed the burglar, who departed without any booty. 'i>'s is the third burglary at the club in, six years, the former attempts yielding hauls of tobacco and £6. On the present occasion everything was securely locked. —“There are two sides to every question,” proclaimed the sage. ‘ Yes,’’ said tne fool, “and there are two sides to a sheet of flypaper, but it makes a mighty big difference to the fly which side he chooses.”'
