COOL BURGLARY.
The burglars Eat Oranges in sleeping
Room.

Saturday night Mr., Fl. A. Muller Of the firm
of FL. A. Muller & Son, boots and shoes, Gem
gress street, went home after closing his store,
at 1890 p. M. He took with him the money
collected during the day, amounting to $92.
This money was divided into large and small
bills, the large bills being placed in yellow,
and the small in white envelope and both
envelopes were encased in soft leather case.
This case Mr.. Muller, on retiring for the
night in his bedroom in his house at No. 5
Horton Place, placed on bureau standing at
the foot of his bed and partly covered it with q
cloth. Close by the bureau stood chairs on
which his own and his wifes clothes were
placed.
In tbn early morning Mr.. Muller's son awoke
and started for Free street church to make the
fires there as his father is the church sexton.
AS he passed through the dining-room he saw
on the door the leather case and two envelopes
the latter empty. He knew his father kept
his money in these envelopes and he ran mp
stairs to his fathers room and woke him
showing him the case and empty envelopes.
Inspection showed they had not only been
taken from the bureau but that Mr.. Mullers

contents left on table near by. Not only
this but the cool fellows had taken oranges
from vase in the room and eat them there
leaving the peel on the floor.
1t appeared ON examination that the burg
lars had tried the kitchen window without
avail and then pried the two sashes of the dim
ing-room window apart with knife blade and
snapped the catch back with pair of pincers.
When they left the house they left the dining
room window open.
An attempt was made at Mrs. Joshua Davis
the other night where the lady was sitting
up late sewing, Mr.. Davis being away from
home. The parties tried the back door first,
then window, and then rang the door bell.
Mrs. Davis went to the door, but would not
open it. The parties asked If DR.. Bray was
there. The same game las tried at house on
Quincy Lane. The idea of ringing the bell
seemed to be that, as the burglars knew only
woman was at home, she might open the door
in response to the ring and then they would
push by her into the house.
