TWO BURGLARS BAGGED.
One of Them Shot-He Dies From
the Effect of the Wound.

Last Sunday morn about 2 a. m. mer-
chant policeman William Bremen while
on his beat, discovered that the lights in
X ese's grocery. corner Indiana avenue
and Vermont street were turned out and
feeling that all was not right, he made an
examination of the premises. He found
two burglars at work inside the grocery,
and fearing that he could not succeed in
capturing both, he placed himself at the
door and blew short calls for help. The
burglars made a rush for the door, with
the in ention OF running past the officer.
Bremen caught one of them, and ordered
the other to halt, but upon his refusal to
do so, he fired upon him. Soon after this
officers Thornton and Temple and one or
two citizens responded TO the call. Thorn
ton followed in the dire ction of the flying
burglar, and found him leaning against
the fence on Ellsworth street. the shot
fired by officer Bremen having hit lis aim
and rendered the burglar too weak to
travel farther. The wounded burglar was
recognized as Harry Stevenson, young
man not yet of age. He was placed on a
hand cart, and in company OF Scott
Thompson, the other burglar was taken to
the central station. Sunday morning Ste
venson was removed TO the city hospital.
He remained in delirious condition un-
til 6 o'clock Wednesday, when he died
from the effects of his wound, stevenson
bore very bad reputation, having been
engaged in several burglaries, and at the
time he was shot was under sentence
10 the penitentiary for robbing a gro

Tn. bride vas tall, with coal-bisck hair,
Her eyes were bright aud iAughing'
And in her hand boquet rare

Enough to say they spared no pains,
And that you know IL something;
And When At last We said "good night"
