HOW He WAS CAUGHT.

Sunday morning, between 4 and o'clock,
there was trouble on the lower floor at Turner
Hall. A young German who sleeps in the
basement, but is unable to tell story rapidly
in Ineligible English, gave an alarm and
brought officers D. c. Jackson and p. W.
CaIferty to answer his call. They gathered
40 well as they could from his broken Eng
fish that there was thief, burglar, murderer
or other criminal loose in the hall seeking
whom he might devour. Cafferty guarded
the front and Jackson made a recon-
noissance in the rear. On the alley side
of the building he found all the doors locked,
but some evidences of some one having
clambered up the wall. The young German
insisted that some one was inside who ought
to be in the lookup instead. The saloon in
the basement is approached by four DOORS
one on J street, one from the landing of the
hall stairs inside, one from the gymnasium
on the south, and one from the gymnasium
parlor or anteroom on the west. This latter
opens beneath the stairway running up into
the main hall. The officers found the j.
street and the landing door fastened securely,
but while seeking an entrance distinctly
heard some one chiseling at the door
beneath the stairway. A second later
the burglar took alarm and ran to the door
upon j street, on the west front of the build
ing The man pulled down the top bolt,
sprung out the door sufficiently to get a good
hold, and by sheer strength pulled the door
ill., and in doing 80 bent like a straw a bolt
made of heavy gas-pipe, and which two men
found it impossible to spring yesterday, save
with heavy hammers. The man darted out
and fairly into the official arms, and found
two pistols barring farther progress. He
was found to be Veit Heldly, we'll
known character about town. He effected
an entrance to the place by placing an
old tin pipe against the alley wall, on
which he clambered to window that
was not fastened down. This he raised and
crawled through. He then began work upon
the door opening into the saloon beneath the
stairway. This door was held by stout lock
which the burglar had overcome, badly CHS
cling the door to do SO. But stout hook on
the inside still held the door, and he was
making a cutting to start the hook when
alarmed. Heldly was taken into custody
fifteen years ago by then officer, now Chief
possession 81 600, and Karcher was convinced
lie had got it by no reputable means. This
money was very oddly secreted about
his clothing, or, as the Chief puts 1t.
everywhere l touched him [ struck
a money lead that PANIED out WELL But no
one appeared against the man and he was
discharged. Not long ago Heldly was ar
rested for differing from the till of saloon,
but the sufferer declined to prosecute him and
he was discharged. Now; however, jackson
and Cafferty are witnesses sufficient to estab-
lish his burglary, and V. III. is certainly
booked for one Of the big stone, jugs for term
of years.
FooT-RAoE.-There was foot-racing at Ag-
ricultural Park yesterday. G. Guerrero was
matched against Charles Cannon, and for
$50 they were to try whose legs were longest,
or rather whose legs could hold out longest,
Guerrero to discount his own extremities to
the extent of 100 yards in mile in favor OF
Cannon. Cannon was beaten in the first
mile by two feet, and Guerrero, who was ad-
vertised to run seven miles against AZ min
utes, after demolishing Cannon kept right on
to do his seven, as Cannon gave up at the
end of the first. Guerrero's time was First
mile, 5:16; second, 12:I2; third, 1886 !;
fourth, 26:43; fifth, 34:13; sixth. 41:10 !;
seventh, 47:25-and SO he failed to beat AZ
minutes. James Barnes was manager of the
affair, and Tommy Doherty was, as he puts
