THOSE WEsr-sIDE BURdLAR1Rs.
Sensational articles in some Of the daily no-
pers concerning robberies and arrest of hur-,ara
in the West Division ara the thipncst sort of
fiction. Officers Hogan and Mahouey, or .A1a-
hogany," As they are both together called
have never had case worth more than
minor mention, and it is not to be expected that
/ they ever will have such & case. The three
sons OF wealthy parcuts" and the 'robbery
wticn is developing with startling rapidity" is
simply this: One night last week the resi-
dcncc Of Mrs. Clifton, No. 433 West
Monroe street, WAS entered By burglars and
robbed OF goods valued bY the owner ut precise
II $51 a servant girl, Mary Manning by name,
Was suspected aud YVES arrested. 4 man SER
want was also suspected, but he has not
ret been captured. Then Thursday afternoon
during the absence Of the family Of Mrs. 4.
Glade, Of No. 317 West Washington etreet at
the circus, thieves pried open side window, and,
entering, ransacked the house. The property
carried away. in this instance was valued u $52-
There have been no other burglnr;es OF ary &C.
count in that section of the ctT for some time
past.
Last Thursday night Officers Hogan and
MahoneY sighted a Young man named John
Leonard, who lives just back of the station on
Union street, and whom they knew to be an c1-
convict from Joliet. They tracked him md TWO
Young companions to q saloon At the corner of
Lake and Green streets, and there made the ar
handkerchief in that vicinity and brought it to
the station. The police concluded that the
young neo had thrown it away when arrested
and it was shown to hrs Glade. She claimed
she could not say when it was taken. Then the
officers found 4 man on Halsted street to
whom two men had offered to sell some
silvcrware but when be called at the station last
night he failed to identify any one OF the three,
and told the police that ho had already de-
scribed to them men Of entirely different per-
sonal appearances. So this effectual1y settles
the case. The young prisoners will to-
mo1ro~ mo BE- oroaent s' Into ce1Tt' con- md
Disorderly conduct, which consists Of calling
each other liars in the street, will be the full e1
tent Of the charge against them.
,s, The young men men Mho have been: thus
stratton, alias ?: Agefnou, Fitz Altamont.
and Lemucl Hardin. Leonard has been out of
the Penitentiary seven months, aud says
he has been honest ever since
as psht Hae9 arrested him
vagrancy, aud kept him "kidnaped" for three
days, so that he lost his situation. Stratton
lives with his widowed mother on
Va4Ra e2 Basfd Of % Green as ns
has been once before arrested on suspicion.
Young Hardin has IN income OF S25 per mouth
left him by deceased parents. He lives
with his sister on West CONGRESS-
street, and works at sllVes-plating Ehen
he finds it agreeable. He. too, has
once before been arrested on suspicion. AL
three boys are friends and associates of Mrs. !
Glade's sons, and say that they would be the
last ones to rob such friends as the Glades have
been to them |
- ie wall +o avn}oir in %h;e |
connection that 'kldnaped,'' when |
used In connection with the West Madison |
Street Station, means this: 4 little book is !
kept under lock and key, and in this mysterious !
policeman books mysterious prisoners. The t
name Of prisoner, therefore, never figures |
upon the station books until the impeEious I
policeman chooses to bring the case into the !
Court. |
