BURGLAR ALARM ACTS.
False Call Creates Stir at City Factory. The insistent tooting of a burglar alarm, two constables in a bustling search and an interested knot of nearby residents caused a stir in Peterborough Street late last evening. The stage was set for another theft at the premises of the Enterprise Boot Manufacturing Company, Ltd., 193, Peterborough Street, where the alarm was certainly operating efficiently. The anti-climax was provided, however, with the arrival of the manager, who discovered that the wind had blown open a door, thus setting off the alarm. A number of residents were in ignor* ance of the excitement, and harboured angry thoughts against what was evidently an impatient motorist sounding his horn. = A piquant touch was added to the situation when it was remembered that the premises had in the past been visited by burglars, one enterprising visitor decamping with six shoes—all the left foot.
