Household
1r and Mrs. Loew Go Into the Hall and the
nan Rushes Past Them-He Did

A nd still they come.

And still they come.
And once again is that ubiquitous and
mysterious burglar heard from. This
time be got into house on Figueroa
street, but was scared away.
The house he entered was the elegant
residence of j. Loew, president of the
Capitol Milling company, at the north
streets. 1t is the second place he went
| into in that eighbornood on Monday
evening, failing in each place to secure
any booty.
About o'clock on Monday morning
Mr.. and Mrs. Loew, who OCCUPY the
front room, were aroused by hearing
screaming from the children, who were
in a loom towards the rear of the house.
At first Mr.. Loew thought that they were
playing, and made no move to go to
them; but as the cries increased, his wife
told him that he had better get up and
learn what was the trouble. He did 80.
and follc wed by her, started for the rear
room. Just as they got into the hallway
a masked man rushed from the DOORWAY
OF the children's room, crossed the pas
sageway to the stairs and ran down. He
wore white mask that covered his face
entirely. and carried a revolver so the
children said.
The children were awake at the time
he entered. as their nurse had given them
some books and toy paints with which
they were musing themselves when tho
burglar interrupted their play. The lit.
tie bov was the first to seq him as he
stood in the doorway, and he at once
called the attention of the 9th srs to him.

good his escape when Mr.. Loew and his
wife appeared.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Loew asserted that
the fellow got nothing from them. He
passed through the dining room in which
was quantity of silverware, cutglas
and various articles for table ornament.

after Jewelry and money and things
which he could carry away with ease.
He secured entrance to the house
through one of the roar doors, and he left
this open and all the others loading to it.

THE BURGLAR WAS FOILED
BY Plucky Woman Who Shot tC
But Iier Trembling Aim and the Fellow s

Heroine and Story

About the pluckiest person that the
numerous burglars now operating in this
city have met is Mrs. George ii. thinner
man, who lives at the southeast corner OF
Hemiock and Eighth streets.
She was visited by burglar un Mon
! day night, and although alone, gave him
reception tnat scared the wits cut o.
him and made him think he had struck
a cyclone.
Mrs. Zimmerman took a shot at the
marauder as he stood before her with
uplifted knife and put him to fight.
She is slight woman and one of the
last who would be suspected OF being
handy with the revolver. but he is not
what she looks. Her husband is en-
ployed as a motorman on the Maple ave-
nue. dvisi, of the electric line. His
run takes him away from the house every
night, and his wife is left entirely alone
About o'clock Monday night Mrs. Zim :
norman heard someone go up the back
stairs, open the screen door and knock.
She thought this very strange. for seldom
if ever do evening visitors go to the rear
entrance. She asked who was at the
door and the answer came, "a friend"
what do you want"'
- have note for you from your hus-
band"
This reply set Mrs. Zimmerman to
thinking again.
Her husband had never sent her any
note before. and why should he do so on
that night? She got up from bod and
going to the bureau took her revolver,
and unlocking the door opened it about
two teet.
What she saw nearly frightened her
into faint, for there within less than
three feet stood a strange man holding
the serene door wide open, and as soon
as she had appeared the fellow drew a
ng-bladed knife from his sleeve and
brandishing it, said, Hands up there,
right quick
Mrs. Zimmerman pulled the revolver
from among the folds of her night dress
and fired point blank at the man. Un-
fortunately her hand trembled so that
she missed the fellow, but his clothes
were burned by the powder. lie jumped
to one side almost simultaneously with
the flash of the gun and then took to his
heels. Before the lady could take aim
and are again the fellow was gone,
douhtles oongratulating himself upon
the fact that he was still living.
