One of the peculiar cases which has
been brought to the attention of the po-
lice department. recently is the burglar
iz,ng of 81. G. Sides residence, at BOB
Seventh street south, when not an article
of valus ia the house was touched except
q numb II of dresses, valued at $3.50,
which belonged to Mrs. Chas. K. Side.
About the 22l of September Mr.. and
Mrs. c. K. Siile were IN st. Paul for
three or four days, and when they re-
turned home found the property above
referred to gone. The peculiar part Of
the burglary is that nothing else in the
house was touched, not even new seal
skin sacque, valued at $3.50 and q aan-
tity of jewelry. Mrs. Sidle is of the
opinion that the thief is q woman, for the
contents of q handkerchief case had been
and carefully replaced without
q crease. Detectives are at work on the
case. A few nights previous to the &C.
currence of the above robbery, horse
and buggy belonging to caller at the
Side residence, and which had been left
standing in front of the house, was stolen,
and no trace of it has been found since.

hard working fellow and the latter the
