GREETED WITH A SHOT GUN.
A Brace of Burglars Who Visited the
Wrong House.

Early yesterday morning two midnight
~marauders got into the wrong pew, as it
were. While providing around, on burg
larious schemes intent, they concluded to
make an incidental raid upon a certain
dwelling in the Western part of the city.
So said, so done, and in a few moments
they were attempting to force a window.
Now it CHANGED that the dwelling was
occupied by Mr.. Thomas Talbot and it
also happened that the burglars awoke him
while they were giving their professional
attention to the window. To complete
the chain Of fortunate events, a shot gun
was within easy reach, and Mr.. Talbot
promptly secured the weapon. As the
mercury had crawlcd down towards the
bulb, Mr. Talbot hastily dressed before he
began a sort of aggrcssive-defensiv war
fare. In walking across his bed room lie
made some little noise, which the burglars
heard, and when he opened the door,
the men were going over an adjacent
fence in a manner that showed an utter
disregard of the consequences when they
landed on the other side.
