nor value stolen.
The past two nights have been pro-
lido In burglarles, anumber OF resi-
denoes having been entered and arti-
Giles of value stolen thereirom.
Yesterday morning between two
o'clock and daybreak thief entered
the residence OF Julius Kahn. the Elm
street clothier, who residesat $40 jack
SOU street. The burglar gained adj
mission by pricing open the window
shutters, the sash being already up,
and then stepped into tho room.
Nothing WAS taken except pair OF
pants Of Mr.. Kahn's, which was lying
on small bed ~ the room, although
his coat aud vest hung Oh the back OF
u chair near by, and the silk dress Of
his wife was in close proximity. In
the pocket OF the pants were number
of keys and pocket.knife. Mr., Kahn
thinks that when the thief lifted the
pants the keys caused II jingling noise,
and the thief probably thinking that
II was money was satisfied and left.
Just after Mr.. Kahn retired on the
night OF the robbery he noticed by the
light, which was left dimly burn
ing, that his watch chain was hanging
ratker oonspiouously from his vest
pocket, therefore he arose from bed,
took the watch and chain from oil his
vest, and placed 1t under one Of the
pillows OF the bed on which the pants
was lying. This saved his watch, for
the thief would have been sure to have
seen the chain. None OF the family
awoke Till daylight, and then discov-
cred the open window. Mr.. Kahn on
discovering the loss OF his pants, In
which was the key OF his Elm street
store, Immediately hurried down town,
but found everything all right at that
quarter. This goes to prove that the
thief had no knowledge Of the occu-
pants of the dwelling, or else he would
have entered the store also, after get
ting possession of the key. The first
thing Mr.. Kahn did yesterday morn
ing was to have u new binatlon
lock placed on the door of his store.
His loss foots up one pair of pants,
number Of keys, and new pocket
knife-for the latter he paid six dol
lars.
The same night thief or thieves
entered the residence of Mr.. j. May,
near Mr.. Kahn's. The thief first
forced an entrance into the kitchen n,
and from there tried to get into the
main dwelling, but finding door
locked between the two, gave up the
attempt in that quarter, and entered
from the outside through window.
Nothing was taken except powder
box of Mrs. Mays, which was discov-
cred next morning placed on the gate
post in the front of the dwelling. Mr..
May thinks the thief must have taken
off his shoes before enerting, as the
members OF the family and himself
are easily Weakened.
Saturday night burglar smashed
the window glass at the residence of
Mr.. II. Coin, the pawnbroker, and
grabbing Mr.. C0hn's coat, hastily ran
away. The light was left dimly burn
ing after the family had retired, and
the robber could see the coat on
chair at the window, near enough for
him to reach 1t from the outside, which
was done. The noise of the breaking
glass aroused Mr.. Cohn In time to see
his coat disappearing through the
window. His pants and vest were
near by, and in his vest was his watch
and chain. This was bold robber,
and his tactics were the same as those
displayed at Tivoli hall, but with no
success.
During the same night members of
the family of Mr.. Mack, residing next
door to Mr.. Cohn, heard some one try
ing the doors as II to gain admission,
but when some one of the family
struck light and moved about, the
robber left.
The residence of Mr.. VIM. Tremmel,
in the Cedars, who Is employed at
Bartlett, Parker q TO-, was entered
the same night and new pair Of
pants, in the pockets Of which was
twenty dollars, was stolen.
Yesterday morning at three O'Clock,
while officer Clements was standing
on the pavement near the Tivo!i hall,
he heard some one breaking the glass
In the rear window OF that building.
The officer ran through Austin's sa-
loon to the rear, but the thief heard
him coming, and when the officer APP
peared at the back door the robber had
jumped the fence and was running
away. The officer called to him to
halt, but no heed was taken of the call.
Officer Clements then drew bis six
shooter and fired five shots at the re.
treating figure, one CT which he thinks
must have taken effect, as the burglar
halted for moment but Immediately
resumed his Journey and escaped.
Saturday night thief entered the
Office Of the Main street railroad com.
pany, near the eastern terminus.
George Deazel, an employee Of the
company was sleeping IN the room
