J.H. CROW’S STORE ROBBED
[Welland Tribune, 10 October 1897]
During Tuesday night burglars entered J.H. Crow’s hardware store and carried off between $50 and $75 worth of goods. The silverware case was emptied, a couple of dozen razors taken, a few pocket knives and other articles. Unless goods has been taken that Mr. Crow has not yet missed, the loss will not exceed $75. Entrance was effected through the office window, the guard on which was out of repair, allowing the burglars easy means of access. No clue seems to have been left to trace the thieves. A number of articles had been carefully removed from the office window, and the marks of muddy boots were on the office stool and the store floor. It is not thought that the robbers are professionals. A hard winter is at hand and merchants will do well to guard a far as possible, against such losses as Mr. Crow had just experienced.
