THE LATE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY

Your readers no doubt remember that in March last a very mysterious robbery took place here, a bag containing £0-1, the takings of Waihao excursion trip, being stolen from the Timaru railway ticket ollice. Despite all the efforts of tbe police, especially Detective Kirby, no clue has yet been found to the perpetrators of the robbery. This morning, however, tbe bag which contained the money was discovered in the parcels offlce concealed among some waste paper. As the place had been thoroughly searched, it is conjectured the bag (whicli had been ripped up, tho lock being intact) was placed there some time subsequent to the robbery. The bank slip was inside, but none of the money originally contained in the bag was to bo found.
