Burglary at Several Gloucester Stores Foiled by Glazed Window

Early Sunday burglars targeted the premises of A J White A E Smith and Thurlow while W A An’s drapery store was also attempted. Chisel marks on doors showed forced entry but small takings, mostly from tills, were noted. Nightwatchman Tom Smith heard noises between 4 and 5 am but saw only stray horses. Types of stock left include 3d and 5s items. Teachers in the Gloucester district hosted a social at Shire Hall with about fifty attendees featuring singing, recitations, and a supper. Led by Rev Alex Alexander and Mr Snow, the event praised for its social and educational aims.
