KALAMAZOO, Mich, Feb. 9.-Last night be-
tween II and IL o'clock the residence of J.
Ward was broken into and the burglars, going
to the bed of Ward and wife, drew revolyers
and threatened to shoot Mrs. Ward if she
stirred or uttered cry. They paid no atten-
ton to Mr.. Ward, who was quiet during the
proceedings. Mrs Ward, in spite of their
threats and revolvers thrust in her face sprang
up and running to the wood shed got an axe.
and returning, rushed at one of the burglars
and struck him over the shoulder. The man
rushed toward her as she struck, SO that only
portion of the blade of the axe touched him.
While this was going on the other burglar ran
up stairs to get the money which was known to
oe IN the house, and Mrs. Ward states that her
husband Informed them where it was con-
cealed. They found it under the mattrass
tn thi. thew pocket Eeshed book, dn+ and with with
their escape, which was necessary as the CON
siderable noise had awakened their neighbors,
officer U Brien arrested shortly after one Chas
Delano, who has since been identified as one of
the burglars. Ward and the other burglar
have not yet been found. It seems that Mrs.
Ward had that day received some $3.50, and hid
it to keep it out of her husbands hands. BE
mad entered into conspiracy with three men
to come as burglars to his house. the front
door of which had been left open for them.
Mrs. Ward had, during the afternoon, changed
the place of concealment, fearing that her hus-
band had learned where it was which seems to
have been the case. 1t seems to have been a
dehberate conspiracy between her husband and
thesa men to obtain the money as aforesaid and
whack up after the theft was perfected.
