Not a Good Locality for Burglars.
The residence Of VIM. Sumner, Esq,
on East Walnut Hills, was entered by a
burglar yesterday afternoon. just when
the light-fngered member got in IL not
known, but while the family were at
supper the burglar alarm announced
some one at the front hall window, up.
stairs, which it is presumed he was
opening preparatory to escape after hav.
ing completed his raid.
The,alarm of course caused an exam
ination OF the premises, and one of the
ladies spied the intruder just as he was
going through the bureau drawers; this
caused hasty retreat out OF the win
dow he had hoisted, This window
opened on the roof of the porch, and
out on this and down the column he
went, by his speed saving himself, but
getting nothing for his trouble. He
made a hurried examination of several
boxes in the bureau but found nothing
OF great value, in his haste missing a
pocket-book containing considerable
sum OF money, which was quite near
them.
He was evidently powerful and in
genious representative Of his class, but
just along there is not good place for
burglars. The houses are all well pro-
yided with burglar alarms, and if thief
happens to get in through the door, he
does not find the way clear for safe
exit.
