value taken therefrom. Among the money
taken was about ten dollars in silver and gold.
The case was reported to headquarters and De-
tectives McDevitt, Miller and Coomes started
out yesterday TO see what they could ascertain
about ii. They soon learned that a young man
VINO lives in the neighborhood, en- his way home
that night during the heavy rainfall, when
passing the corner mentioned saw two men
standing near by and another who appeared to
have Just come out of the store. He recognized
two OF them as reputed thieves, and spoke TO
one OF them, who turned his back upon him.
After arriving home he told his mother of the
circumstance and persuaded her TO go to Mira.
Keys and notify her to look ont for her prem
ises, as there we're thieves lurking about Mrs.
key did not heed the admonition and in tina
morning she found that her premises had been
rined as stated above. The officers suspected
who were the parties engaged in the Job and
later in the day arrested John Curran Henry
Shadwel and another man, and locked them mp
IN the central guard house. On searching them
each was found 70 have an amount OF money on
his person, and Curran held a silver quarter in
the palm OF his hand. When arrested the lat
Miller was too quick for him, and seized his
wrists before he could draw his revolver, which
ne carried. search was made of a sus-
pected house on & street, but nothing
was found throwing any light upon the
burglary except leather pocketbook contain
ing papers and receipts wet, showing that its
fore. Last night Mr.. McDevitt hunted up the
young man who had seen the thieves aud
brought him to the station, where he fully iden-
tilted Shadwell and Ourran as the two whom he
saw the night before, but could not identifV
the other man. The three men were put in
separate cells for hearing to-day. They were
brought INTO the Police Court this morning,
and there being no evidence against the party
not named here, he was discharged. Curran
and Shsdweu were committed to Jail for q

The GREAT VALUE of the North Arlington
Heights, near this city. for grape raising is
beginning TO be appreciated. The splendid
vineyards OF MIR. X. A. Phillips there are now
Valued at $1,000 per acre, and annually Yield
larger income from that amount than il couId
produce from any other as safe an investment,
Ihese fine vineyards are not for sale however at
ina mat Price, but 1t can be seen by reference 70
Mr. Philips advertisement IN another col
umn, that he has several small farms adjoining
ms vineyards for sale that are equally as valu
a6ie Tor grape growing, and as the rare quality
OF the soil at that locality for grape bearing has
been so thoroughly established we predict a
very quick sale of his spare ground considering
the fact that localities are rare where that VAL
uaDie frult can be produced in such splendid
condltlon and of as fine quality as is grown
annually in his vineyards, and that it is such a
desirable locality for suburban home.
