Business Men Capturing Burglars

Thursday night last, between eight
and nine o'clock, lively snow squall
set in unexpectedly. This caused ].
w. Fitzgerald, of the firm of Hawley
& Fitzgerald, to return to his store
on Second street, for his rubbers.
During the winter season the dry
goods stores close early, and the store
in question had been closed about two
hours. When Mr.. Fitzgerald had en-
tered the store he heard some one try
to open the back door. AS the store
had been entered by thieves some time
before, Mr.. F. was impressed with the
belief that another attempt at burg
larry was being attempted. He left
the store and soon secured the services
of Alderman Gibson. G. H. Gray,
Chas. Park and Emory Beal. A plan
of action was soon arranged. Gibson
Parks and Beal were sent to the rear
of the store and then Fitzgerald and
Gray entered the store by the front
door. Mr.. Fitzgerald Immediately
turned on the powerful electric light
which illuminated the interior of the
store as if daylight had suddenly
come. They then saw the burglar.
The depredator retreated to the rear
of the store, and without ceremony
plunged headfrst through the back
window, carrying away part Of the
sash. He landed in some empty dry
goods boxes that were under the win
dow, and before he could get up Al
derman Gibson and Charles Parks
seized him. On the burglars person
was found a small amount Of money
that he had stolen out of the money
drawer. He was turned over to the
police and consigned to the lookup.
The burglar goes by the name Of Kel-
ly, and has been in the city but a
short time. He had been suspected
to be crook. Entrance to the store
was made through the back window.
The same night the store Of Netzorg
& Gumbinsky, adjoining, was entered
in about the same manner as was the
store of Hawley 4 Fitsgerald-prob-
ably by the same person--and few
dollars stolen out Of the money draw
err. The capture Of the burglar was
a creditsble piece Of work that emit.
ties Mr.. Fitzgerald and his assistants
to much commendation. The burglar
is booked for several years residence
in the State prison. The police are

Thursday afternoon last the Demo-
cratic city convention was held in the
Council Room. Thirty-six delegates
were present-twelve from each ward.
w. H. Phelps was elected chair
man and M. O'Brien secretary.
The first ballot for Comptroller
gave David Bruneau 10 votes, M.
O'Brien II, scattering 3. Mr.. O'Brien
then stated that he was not candi-
date and advised his supporters to
assist Mr.. Bruneau. A second bal
lot resulted in Bruneau getting "a
votes, O'Brien 8, scattering 2. Bru-
neau was then declared the unanimous
choice.
For Recorder there was only one
candidate, and Archie McCollum was
elected on the first ballot.
The first ballot for Justice of the
Peace resulted in Charles Cook get
ting 26 votes, j. L. Currier 8, scat
tering1. A city committee was select
ed, consisting of the following persons:
Chairman-G. M. Slusser.
First ward-F. G. Perkins.
Second ward-J. G. Wall.
Third ward-W. II. Phelps.
A warm debate then ensued in re-
gard to the irregularities at the Sec
ond ward caucus, and after much dis
cussion the matter was left to the city
committee to adjust if they could
The trouble arose from the fact that
for alderman for short term there
were cast over forty more ballots than
there were Second ward voters in the
caucus room, and it was claimed that
men from other wards had voted illeg-
ally, and also that Republicans had
taken part in the ballot. The doors
of the caucus room were closed and a
count made of the persons in the room
who were entitled to vote, the result
being as above stated.
