A BURGLAR IN THE House OF JUDGE-A FooT
RACE "BY THE CoURr."-The Buffalo papers say that
bold but odd sort of burglary was committed at the
residence of Judge Masten on Thursday morning be-
tween 2 and o'clock. The burglar effected an en-
trance into the kitchen BY prying 10 one OF the win
dows. He then ransacked the kitchen pantry. gath
cred up the provisions it contained, put them In a
basket, and took them out Of the back door to the
gate, where he had also placed fine buffalo robe,
pair of Judge Ms boots, and the burglars shoes.
From the kitchen he proceeded to the cellar where he
ate par s i"af nf bread and drank part Qf nan az
milk. His next move must have been through the
kitchen into the hail. where were hanging five over
coats which the artist gathered up and laid by the
paIor door, convenient for transportation. Just out
side the front door he had placed large plated water
pitcher. His last journey was into the Judges bed
room, where as he was placing his hand on table,
ter who had come from the adjoining room, he asked,
who's there" This unexpected and probably un-
welcome interrogatory startled the individual and of
