There is no Disgusting the fact that
something akin to a reign of terror ex-
lists among the female portion at least of
4he residence portion of the city, caused
by the repeated attempts at burglary re-
ported from day to day. So far, while
repeated attempts at robbery have been
made the thieves have not succeeded in
getting away with any large amount of
property. All these attempts have been
narrated from day to day in the columns
Of the GLOBE. and Frid l.y night added
the following to the list heretofore
given.
During the night the residence of Hen
nv D. Mathews, agent of the Diamond 10
line of steamers, situated at No. % Mar
shall avenue, was entered through one of
the windows, which was pried open and
the blinds cut, admitting them into the
dining room. Owing to the universal
uneasiness felt, and at the instance of his
wife, Mr.. Mathews had taken the precau.
ton to lock all the inside doors of the
house, and hence the thieves confined
themselves to the one room. They rum
aged around this room, but apparently
found nothing to their liking as Mr..
Mathews could find nothing missing
The next place they visited was that of
Mr.. E. J. Hodgson, No. 139 Dayton ave-
nue., where they failed to effect an en-
trance, evidently being frightened away.
Next they proceeded to the residence
of Mr.. L. NJ burlington on the corner of
Marshall avenue and Mackubin street.
The noise made by them in their endeav-
ors to open the windows awoke Mrs Bur-
rington, who incautiously called to her
husband who was occupying room on
the first floor and who was awake pre-
pared to give the scoundrels fitting re-
ception with powder and ball. The
sound of Mrs. Burrington's wife frighten-
ed them away, and they did not return
unfortunately. An examination of the
window showed that they had succeeded
in breaking the fastening, which sound
was what awoke Mr.. burlington Mr.
burlington is about breaking up house
keeping and on Friday he sold quanti-
ty of his effects at auction, and it is
thought the thieves were aware of this
and supposed he had the proceeds of the
sale in the house.
They next paid their respects to Col. G.
W. Griggs, No. AZ Arundel street. The
colonel and his family are spending the
summer at Lake Minnetonka, and there
was no one in the house except the hired
man. The window of the dining room
was pried open and an entrance effected.
There was nothing missing, as all the sill
yer wear and other valueble articles were
stored beyond the reach of thieves.
The residence of Mr.. James w. War
rem, No. 20 Ashland avenue, was also Wis
tied and an attempt made to break open
a window, but they did not succeed.
In view of the above attempts so many
IN number, and also in view of the fact
that the saengerfest and circus and Min
neapolis fair are all close at hand and
will bring to this city large number OF
people, Mayor Rice yesterday decided to
appoint number of special policemen to
serve for three or four weeks. Up to
last evening the mayor had appointed
John Lang, Thomas Lonegan, Daniel
O'Connor, Charles Chaabutz, Henry c.
Patterson and Dennis Norton, as a por-
ton of the special force, which will be
increased to twenty-five in number il
the right kind of men can be found.
In addition to the above the residents
on Dayton Bluff have organized sort OF
vigilance committee among themselves
and selected the following named gentle
men to act as special policemen without
pay, viz:
Saml Mayall, W. F. Won Deyn,
Herman Schaeffer, Frederick Siebold,
Arthur Koen;g, Chas. E. Keller,
A. j. Hill, Cornelius c. Casey,
A. R. Kiefer, J.J. Lemon,
Gustav Willius, E. o. Tim norman,
Geo. w. Freeman, John Keuker,
Adolph Munich.
They entered upon their duties las
evening under the immediate orders Of
Col. A. r. Kiefer.
