Between 8 and 4 o'clock yesterday
morning the residence OF Mr.. w. R.
Donaldson at No. 42 South Huron street,
Island, was entered by a burglar. He
was discovered and frightened of by Mr..
Donaldson's daughter before he had
stolen anything OF value. Miss Donald-
son, whose room is on the lower floor, in
the rear Of the parlor, was awakened by
the noise Of something moving about In
her room. Supposing 1t was the family
dog, she was about to drop of
to sleep again when she heard
the dog bark out in the yard, This
thoroughly alarmed her and she was
about to raise up in q bed when there
was the sound oithe striking Of q matChn
and looking in the direction from which
the sound came she saw b. ita Pickering

low heayy.set man with black hair and a
rough black moustache, wearing dark
clothes, the coat being Of q cutaway
pattern. He was standing near the door
opening into the parlor and grutlly Or
dered Miss Donaldson To lie down. Just
then the match was extinguished and
Miss Donaldson instead Of doing as
told, sprang out Of bed and running past
the intruder, passed through the parlor
and up stairs To- her brothers room.
Arriving at the top Of the stairs she
screamed in a manner that aroused the
