THOUGHT He WAS \ BURGLAR. =
Last night shorty after twelve O'Clock
word was sent to the station house
that a burglar was lurking about Mrs.
J. p Rice's premises on north Fairfax
street. Lieutenant Smith went to the
store Immediately and searched it
thoroughly, but failed to find any one.
Ii is thought that the alarm was caused
by a drunken man who was anxious TO
have another drink before he sought
his couch.
