BURGLARS AT FENWICK
[Welland Telegraph, 30 January 1903]
Two bold burglars operated in Pelham on Monday night and committed several depredations, although they did not get away with much booty. Detective John R. Dowd is on their track and has traced them to Buffalo. According to High Constable Dowd’s deductions, the pair broke in Union S.S. No. 6 of Pelham, early in the evening, and sat around the stove until about midnight. Then they went to Mr. Winfield Beckett’s barn, where they stole a horse and part of a harness. Further down the road they got a cutter and bridle from Mrs. Sutton’s barn, and they drove to Fenwick station, where they broke in and ransacked things generally. They carried off two express parcels, and a coon skin coat which belonged to Mr. Caine, a commercial traveller, which was in the station. Then they drove to Niagara Falls and left the horse and cutter near the convent. The pair were traced over the river, to where they boarded a yellow car.
