LOSING NO OPPORTUNITIES.
The Influx of ProwIers are Keeping
The Police Busy,
An Attempt to Break into the Resi-
dence of f. a. Crouch Last Even
tng-A Suspect Arrested.
The festive burglar is allowing grass

The festive burglar is allowing no grass
to grow under his feet.
Last evening at about 9o'clock an at
tempt was made to break into the resi-
dence of Z. A. Crouch, at Third and 0
streets. The prowlers were frustrated
only by the appearance of q Chinese
domestic. They then fed, leaving their
tools behind.
Mr.. Crouch took his family to the open
air concert last evening, and the thieves
were evidently aware of this fact. else
they would hardly have begun operations
so early. They had no trouble getting
intoIthe yard back of the house, and from
here it was an easy matter to force an en-
trance into the basement. Here there is
door, opening into passage-way that

Into the main part of the house. On this
door the providers brought their tools
into use. They had augurs with them.
and small saws that would fit through the
augur- hole. Their object was to saw ont
the lock, and then all would be plain sail
ing.
But they had only bored one hole when
the Chinese domestic came upOn the
scene, having heard the men at work.
There were three of them there, and the
heathen at once set up great howl. The
! three burglars took to their heels. The
! Chinaman seized one of them. but could
not hold him. The Chinaman then ran
out into the street ahead of the thieves
and yelled Justify for help.
Several neighborS came over to see
what was the matter, and then began n
search for the burglars. While they were
discussing how TO proceed, two men
walked out of the side entrance to e. G.
Harfs yard and walked rapidly up the
street. The third must have made his
escape IN some other way. One Of the
neighbors followed these two, and when
they passed under an electric light
TOOK A GOOD LOOK
At them. He then reported the matter
to the police. Captain Lee drove RAPIDLY
down to the house and picked up Officer
Mclaughlin on the way. The two Off
GERS inspected the premises and found
the tools and a straw hat, which the third
burglar had dropped in his flight.
Officers Mclaughlin and ShelIars ac-
companied by the man who had followed
the two burglars, visited all the resorts
/ last night, and took a man into custody
/ who answered the description of one OF
/ the burglars exactly. At the Police Sta

Five Shots Fired on Jibboom Street
A Lively Chase-Both shooters
are Under Arrest.

Johnny" Norton, whose escapades
have won him considerable notoriety in
the past, was the central figure of another
sensational rumpus Saturday evening.
on Jibboom street.
Norton and his wife do not live happily
together, it is said, and family shake-ups
in their abode are frequent and noisy.

HOW IT HAPPENED.
Norton, it appears, took exception to
some action Of a milk-wagon driver,
named stephen Little. He claimed that
while sitting near his window he saw
Little throw note to Mrs. Norton, who
was standing in the front garden. Nor
ton sprang up, and running out into the
yard to where his wife stood. demanded
the note. She refused to surrender it, so
Norton says, and then ne turned his at
tention to Little, who was making lively
tracks up the street.
Little ran when he saw Norton pursu-
ing him, but soon saw that he was no
| match for the eX-dive- keeper. He then
stopped, and drawing pistol fired twice
at Norton just as the latter was about to
pounce upon him.
Neither Of the bullets struck Norton.
but the pistol was held so close to his
face when the second shot was fired.
that it was burned in spots.
Norton then grappled with Little, and
being large, powerful man, soon over
come him and wrenched the pistol from
his grasp.
NORTON SHOOTS, TOO.
The milkman then took to his heels
| again, and Norton pursued. The latter,
emptied the revolver at Little, but proved
| to be no better marksman than the milk
man.
Little did not stop running until he
| reached the police station, where he fell
into chair almost exhausted. Officers
Lowell and kripp went over to the scene
OF the trouble and brought Norton down
to jail. Both men were placed under ar
rest, each swearing to charges of assault
to murder against the other.
Little positively denies that he threw a
note to Mrs. Norton, and declares that he
has never had any confidential COM
municatiOn with her. In this statement
he is supported by the woman herself.

The outlook for two weeks of splendid
racing was never better. The several
events have all filed well, and there
promises to be at least a half dozen com

yesterday, but as several were mailed
from distant points, and will not be re-

The Advance Guard Came in a Couple
of Weeks Ago.
Three flocks of wild geese passed over
the city yesterday morning between l
and 2 O'Clock, coming from the north.
But it seems these were not the first of
the season, Judging from the following
letter from "A Farmers Son." who
writes from Florin. He says:
"EDs. RECoRD-UNIoN: Like all true
sportsmen, / take a great deal of interest
IN matters pertaining TO wild game. and
have for years past learned TO look regu-
larly at this season of the year for the

rivals of wild geese from the north. I
notice that all the leading sportsmen's
publications in the East copy them, and
frequently comment thereon.
Usually you catch on to the first
geese that come honking down over our
plains, but this season they gave you the
slip. On the Goth of last month-two
weeks ago-a large flock of gray geese
passed over Florin on their annual nil
grimage to the warm valleys of Caliior-
MIA. 1t was about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing when they came, and their 'Honk err

BOARDING THE HELP.

Grace Perry writes to the Farm
Journal that to many a farmers wife the
most disagreeable part of farming is the
taking into the family of help that is
needed. 1t is the primitive custom yet
retained in many locations, but with i'm
proved methods of farming will come
more enlightened ideas as to the preser-
walton of Che heart of the home, the wife
and the mother, and her strength will be
husbanded as we do not think of now.
1t is too precious to be wasted in prepar-
ing immense dinners for braWny men
other than her own family
And what an absurdity to try and feed
children on food fit for hard working
men; it cannot be done. Food proper
for children would not furnish the
strength necessary for the performance
Of hard physical labor, and to feed chill
dren on the hearty food laborers need
would lead to no end of ill-heath for
them. 1t is almost an impossibility to
deny children food that is on the table
and to hold them to the proper diet with
things before them that they want so
bad.
There are so many dishes that a wo-
man loves to prepare for her own family
that would be silly to set before laboring
men. Dishes that would be of no more
good to them in the way of nourishment
than SO much candy, but that we love
and make good for us-such as custards,
cream putfs, cakes, lemon pies and such
light dishes.
And, too, the meeting of the family at
table should be the pleasantest affair of
the day, and where man is a busy one
it is often the time to make plans, to
talk over many private matters that one
does not speak of before any but members
Of his own family.
Ones evenings, too, should be gen
orally spent in private, just the family
Who is willing to admit to the intimacy
of the hcme evening circle those who
may retail all that happens or who may
influence the boys and girls ever so little
In & way we cannot approve of?
Let the help have their own quarters.
A married man is best, then he has his
own home life and is content.
