forces of nature.
At a lonely station near the summit the
train came to sudden halt.
The door of the forward passenger coach
was thrown violently open, and five or six

A Marauder Visited a Laundry and
Changed His Linen.

For several weeks Manager Somerville,
of the Union Cooperative Laundry, has
been annoyed by the queer pranks of an
eccentric individual. The annoyance began
a short time before Christmas. One morn

the laundry Office a suit of soiled linen,
which had evidently been discarded during
the night Investigation revealed the loss
of an entire suit of freshly laundried under
wear. The owner of the SOiled garments
had evidently entered the laundry, threw
of his old linen and put on new. week
later the act was repeated, and the gar
msnts stolen the week before were found on
the floor. They were put in the wash and
nicely laundried. but on Christmas eve were
exchanged again by the night visitor, who
left his old clothes as before.
Regularly once d week the laundry has

10 capture him if possible. He employed
William Conklin, a former member of the
police department, 10 watch the place.
Conlxlin kept nightly vigils without success
until last night. He secreted himself in the
rear, and about midnight heard a noise at
one of the back windows. Soon the sash
was raised and man climbed over the
ledge Conklin allowed the prowler to light
the gas and remove his coat before he made
his presence known At his command,
ily obeyed. He was sent to the station
house where he gave the name of Harry

the charge. Conklin believes that he Is the
