Mr.. c. A. Brooks, a miner Of Opekis-
Ia snd brother of Mr.. d. B. Brooks Of
Palatiue, was robbed Of $3.50 last Sun
day night Thinking everybody else in
his community was honest like himself,
Mr Brooks, since the heated term be-
gan, had been sleeping with his doors
open a1d windows bOisted, never dream
ing shat there was q probability that
thieves would enter his house and steal
his hsrd-earned savings. At late
hour Sunday night, or rather in the
neighbOrhood Of o'clock on Monday
morning Mrs. Brooks was awakened,
and, believing she heard footsteps in the
room, screamed and aroused Mr..
Brooks. The latter jumped out Of
bed, and, seeing the form of a
man before him by the pale
light OF the morning, he grabbed b i'm
By the hand which had a knife in IL and
also by the shoulder and hurled him TO
the floor. He then picked up chair
and demolished il over him. At this
juncture Another mau jumped out OF
the window, and while Mr.. Brooks was
witnessing his escape aud probably
wondering how many more were in his
house, the fellow who had been smashed
with the chair sprang to his feet and
also made his exit through the window.
Mr.. Brooks then got HIS gun and hur-
ried after them. Being unable TO see
them ne fred ia the direction he heard
them running, but he thinks il hardly
likely that his shot took effect. He
will Do apt % keep the knife as re-
mem5rancer Of the unwelcome visit OF
the burglars, and also as something 10
show in lieu of the $3.50.
