MORE BURGLARS. 1t seems thaV
something must be done to rid TINS
city of toughs and vags. Not less
than a halfa dozen robberies have
been committed in this city during
the last week. The last one report
ed was last night in the residence OF
Mr.. J. J. Dalrymple, corner Of Win
ter and Marion streets. The burglar
had gone around to the rear of the
house and got a ladder aud brought
it to the front Of the house and
climbed upon the portico and rut'r-
ed the house through a window.
The family were at home and had
company and no thought OF amy
thing wrong occurred to any one, It
being but little after nine O'Clock
until Mrs. Dalrymple heard noise
up stairs, and called to her daugh-
tiers. The burglar hearing her rush
ed out the way he came IN. The
folks hearing him run down the lad.
der thought he was coming down
the stairs, and were preparing t.
capture him. Mr.. Dalrymple had
not yet returned from his store
when the excitement took place
The three lady members and gen.
tleman and his wife who were visit

The robber secured a PAIR of valua
BILE bracelets. He had evidently uuI
been 10 the house long when ne was
discovered, as other jewelry in ii'
same room had not been found. y,
clue has yet been found as t'
who was the thief. The matter
Of what to do with vags is becom
ing serious. Were the people com

number.
