of terror in the capital city, when the
stores OF G%ussner, Brady and Romans

miscreants were 9 discovered. Tues
day night the burglars-either the old or
a new gang began another series of rob-
berries among the private residences of
Bismarck instead Of stores.
FRANK TITUS SUFFERS.
At about midnight the providers effected
an entrance into Frank Titus residence on
upper Fifth street by removing a wire
screen, and raising the window. The
members of the household slept soundly,
while the midnight marauders visited the
sleeping apartments OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Titus and relieved Mr.. Titus of a watch
and chain, valued at $75, several Odd Eel
lows badges, S. in cash from his pockets
and his wife's gold finger ring and neck
lace. which were in a toilet case on a
bureau. The watch and money were ab-
stracted from Franks clothes which hung
at the head of the bed. Nj. Titus cannot

to awaken while the providers
ransacked his room. The burglars having
evidently secured all the Doodle they could

through the front door where the KEY re-

pillow. His watch and money were in the
vest pockets. He threw out his arm and
struck the intruder a singing blow in the
face, shouting What in h are you do

made his exit from the room, shot down
stairs and disappeared into the darkness.
Kaufman describes the robbers as we'll

states that he saw two strangers hurrying
through the Custer hotel alley with over

confident they were the guilty parties,

street was also raided. DR.. Bentley says
