lutely nothing to kick about. The Caliph
read some cheering advices from Venezuela,
stating that the insurrection was getting 1t
in the neck, and that the present Organiza-

another two years. e.. j. Gleason was

is good enough for them. The following

THE Main street residence of Fred W.
Bancroft was broken into during the early
hours of last Sunday. Shortly after two
o'clock, Dick Cilley came into the Pavilion
with his arms full of cans, and remarked
rather enigmatically to Joe Fitzgerald, the
night watchman, that that was what he
had saved from the wreck" The partcu-
lar wreck was not specified. He demanded
loudly to see Mr.. Bancroft. Fitzgerald es-
corted him out doors, and short time after
ward he returned and again demanded that
Mr.. Bancroft be called He said "they
were up around Bancroft's house," and that
the gas was lighted up there" Joe once
more fired him out, and he went away.
Later, Ed Cilley and a younger brother
came in and wanted to see Bancroft" al
leging that some one was in the house and
that their brother Dick had been stabbed
in the leg. Joe stated that Mr.. Bancroft
was sick, and refused to call him. Then
they wanted Charles j. Staniand called.
Joe sent them away, and whistled up the
tube to Mr.. Staniland. The latter dressed
himself and went up street. He met the
younger Cilley boys, and sent them after
Officers Demerritt and Hunt. Then he
went up to Mr.. Bancroft's house, and after
considerable delay the boys and officers
came along. 1t was found that the glass in
the basement door had been kicked in, and
the bar raised, thus permitting entrance to
the house. There was no light, but the
younger Cilley had no trouble in finding,
filling and lighting lamp. A tour of the
house was then begun. The gas was found
| burning in one of the main chambers, and
the appearance of the rooms denoted that
some person or persons had rummaged all
through the house. 1t was impossible for
Mr. Staniland to tell whether anything had
been stolen or not. DR.. Chandler was
called Sunday morning about half.past
eight, to sew up an ugly cash, three inches
long, in the calf of Dick Ciley's leg. 1t
was not stab, but clean cut.
