1T 1T 4GAIN.
Butte Burglars Have Resumed Their BOLD
Operations.

Butte Burglars Have Resumed Their BOLD
Operations.
For a few days, or rather nights, the bur-
glars, petty larceny thieves, and thugs who
have of late infested Butte, suspended
operations, and it was fondly hoped that
the suspension would be indefinite. Such,
however, was not the case, as one OF the
boldest of burglaries, and yet one of the
most unaccountable, vas perpetrated
Monday night at the residence Of Mrs.
Hughes, on Idaho street. The lady, who
lives in a brick on the street named, was
called from home about 9 o'clock to see a
sick friend, and did not return until yester-
day morning, and when she entered the
house she was a little undecided az to
whether it was her home or not. 1t surely
did not look like the same place. An ex-
animation showed that the back door had
been forced open by the breaking OF the
lock, and an entrance effected. The bur-
glar or burglars had then coolly taken the
clothing from the bed and with it dark
ened the windows and lighted the
lamp. They then proceeded to
ransack the house for valuables and sue
ceeded in finding $40 in money, a gold
watch and chain, gold ear rings and pin,
gold bracelets and other jewelry. A fine
seal skin coat had been taken from the
place where it hung with the evident inten-
ton OF carrying it off, but the thieves, for
some reason, changed their minds, proba-
bly, because it was too bulky. The affair
is still a mystery, and az the burglars had
so good a start OF the officers, it is proba-
bic it will remain so. The elaboration OF
the deed would indicate that the parties,
whoever they may he, knew considerable
about the lady and her habits, and they
must have known that she had left her
house, and they possibly knew she would
be gone all night. The loss is a severe one
to the lady, and il the thieves can be cap
tured it is safe to say they will get the fullest
extent OF the law. This class OF crime
Is an innovation in Butte and will surely
be put a stop to before it becomes FASH
ionable.
