scy Pistol Practice et the Nocturnal |
Thieves-Lives Not Risked for Eighty Gents |


Seven burglaries were perpetrated in
the northern part OF Hudson county, New Jer-
sey, on Tuesday night. There Is no police force
In that neighborhood, and the robbers generally
work with impunity. AT one OF the places Wis
tied, however, a woman fought one OF them
gallantly. This was at midnight. In the Iliber-
nian Hotel, at Garden street and Bergenwood
road. The burglar began searching the bureau
drawers and other places in the sleeping apart
ment OF Mrs. Higgins, the wife OF the landlord
who was alone. She had queer dream, and
awakinR, saw the robber leaning over the bed
seeing whether she was awake. She vt FIRST In
tended TO scream, but changed her mind and
grasped the burglar by the throat. A desperate
struggle ensued. and both fought to the window
through which the robber had entered. lie had
thrown wearing apparel out of the window
which had been gathered up by his COM
panions. The brave woman struggled and
houted for assistance az loudly as possible
The robber succeeded In overpowering her and
he escaped out Of the window, He fell on hrs
side and was assisted away by his fellows who
shouted they would shoot Mrs Higgins unless
she stopped screaming. At this moment Mrs;
been sleeping upstairs, made his appearance
with revolver and fired several shots al the
burglars. but without effect An examination
OF the house showed that over also In wearing
apparel. about tl0O in cash, and pocketbook
containing some valuable papers we're taken,
also some old silver relies. Mrs. Higgins
badly injured In the struggle with the bold
burglar, but she considers herself fortunate in
oscbDlnG ~ hue Qlu.
One of the places visited by the burglars on
that night was the residence Of John ". Shide,
a florist, In Cedar avenue, Hoboken. Mr.. shide
was awakened by hearing an unusal noise In his
garden. He found several men croucbing around
the yard. He alarmed his son and slowly opened
an upper window. One OF the strangers was
prying at the rear door, while the others were
keeping watch. They discovered the florist and
He'd. SIX shots were DISCHARGED at the retreat
ing men, but with what success is not known.
The series Of burRlaries was continued in a
small way on Wednesday night. The citizens
are discussing measures OF protection. The
town constabea are paid only In fees, and eighty
cents Ia all they can get for an arrest. One OF
them was applied to yesterday to watch for the
burglars, but be promptly replied that he
would not hunt burglars and probably get shot,
Tor the prospective reward Of eighty cents.
