4 SUCCESSFUL HAUL.
Two Cleveland Burglars
Arrested. z-.

About I've weeks ago, dry goods hssss
in Cleveland, O., was entered one night BY
party Of burglars, and $1,000 worth Of
goods stolen thsrsfrom. The vigilant pe-
lice f,rce Of that city kept their eyes
peeled, but could get no definite clue Of the
thieves. Several days passed, and at length
the force made descent upon the house Of
one j. Ii. Henry. and found therein stolen
property amounting in value to $500. The
man Henry, however. had absconded, and
no trace Of his whereabouts could be dis
covered. Last week, several Of the gang
we're captured and held for trial.
Day before yesterday Major Sehnitgsr
received . telegram from the Chief Of Police
at Cleveland. directing him to be on the
look out for two men calling themselves J.
II. Henry and J. II. Blake. Sheriff Schnit-
ger and Deputy L. Fled, set to work to
ferret the rascals out If they were in this
city. The post office was closely watched.
in the hope that they would call for letters.
This morning the officers we're rewarded
for their labor by nsbbing 'ons Of the

rested. tsesms that they hired In this
place and had gone TO work at their trade
-shoemaking-so a. to have some estsn-
sibls business. Papers we're found on their
persons proving them to bs the thieves BE-
yond doubt. They were taken q once
to the jail and safely secured. From the
way in which they have managed the affair
il is evident that they are old hands at the
business. They will lie In prison until
the arrival Of an officer from Cleveland, in
70 whose charge they will b given.
