DENIsoN, TEX, Aug. 25.--Last night
at O;2O O'Clock (as reported in to-day's
GAzETrE) the people living on Candy
street, between Austin and Rusk avenues,
were aroused by three pistol shots fred
in rapid succession. THE GAZETTE man.
In company with Officer George Gardner,
wentto the place and met Mr.. Gabe Bur
COVER and his brother Moses. The
latter said he had gone Into the house
about the time mentioned the front way.
AS he did so he heard noise In one OF
the back rooms, as IL some one was
moving around. He called out to know
who was there, and receiving no answer,
proceeded TO his room, got his pistol, and
on going TO the window OF the back room
discovered man making his escape
through the yard. Nose immediately
opened fire on him, causing him TO drop
a valise, which, upon being opened, con-
tanned six cases of fine sllverware, valued
at about $500 or S400, most OF
1t being heirlooms of the fam
lily, and present from Mr.. Gabe
Burgower's father, making them doubly
valuable. Since Mr.. Gabe Burgoweris
wife left on visit to the North, he has
been staying at Mr.. Eppstein's, leaving
his brother, Nose, to sleep in the house
as safeguard ct night. The thief
gained entrance TO the,hoase from o side
door by lifting the latch, 'ssd,hGd gone to
a bureau where the EilvsswGre was kept
and emptied 1t OF rs contents and had
evidently intended to take what he could
not get In the valise in his hand, as he
had 1t all spread out on the floor In
cloths ready to wrap up, and had 1t not
been for Moses opportune arrival he
would doubtless have made an excellent
haul. Although our efficient marshal and
officers are vigilant 1t is very hard mat
ter to watch these slick crooks

ger on the Denlson and Galveston route,
left last night for visit to his old home

ger running between Sedalla and Denison,

neer reversed his engine as soon as posi-
BILE, but not soon enough to save her
