BurElnrized I'm Reno.

About o'clock this morning. saws
yesterdays Reno Gazette, George
Russell, who resides in Powning's
addition near the lumber yard was
awakened by d slight noise in his bed
chamber. He noticed the flash of a
light, which doubtless was from
dark lantern. as it aim ost instantly
disappeared. Mr.. Russell Jumped
from the bed, and as he did SO caught
glimpse Of 1he ii, IRE of d man as the
latter sprang TO the door Of the cham.
Der. The burglar RAJ Iowa the st airs
with MIR Russell close IN pursuit In
running through the dining room the
fellow overturned the stove and
shocked Il lamp FROM table in his
hurry 10 get to the kitchen, through
the outer door of which he escaped
and disappeared in the darkness.
Upon examination, MIR. Russell
found that entrance had been effected
by cutting hole through the panel
of the kitchen door and sliding back
the bolt. An old horse shoeing knife
with the point broken off was found
on the dining room floor, and this was
evidently the instrument used in cut
ting the door. Three of the fly screens
had been removed and Intellectual at
temps made to pry open the kitchen
windows. Blood was found on the
bannlsters, and also on the kitchen
floor, and it is supposed that the thief
cut his hand with the knife while
working on the door.
Upon taking account Of stock, Mr..
Russell found that two overcoats and
some other articles of clothing we're
missing. One was heavy English
black pilot cloth overcoat, with striped
flannel lining, and the other light
drab colored garment. An overcoat
belonging to Mr.. RUSSELL 8 son was
found on the dining room floor, having
doubtless been dropped there by the
first burglars accomplice in his hurry
TO escape. The one pursued by Mr..
Russell dropped his hat in the dining
room. 1t was of the "Derby" pat
tern considerably worn, and bore the
mark of San Francisco hat store.
1t is evident that two men were
concerned i'll the robbery, and that
while one was working the second
floor, the other was getting away with
the clothing down stairs. As further
evidence the tracks of two men we're
found this morning leading from the
kitchen door, and down the street to.

Suspicious Actions.

Four indians carrying litter on
which was bound s5hoshone squaw,
who was crying and grooming, were
seen yesterday afternoon crossing the
lower bridge, going in the direction
of the hills, their actions were rather
suspicious. When Intercepted as to
what they were doing with the Ma
haIa they were very elusive and re-
fused to answer, feigning that they
did not understand. One stalwart
buck, who was more bold than the
rest returned to town last evening,
and upon being questioned, said:
"She heap sick, We heap kill-um. :"
To say the least, the Indians acted
rather queerly and it is thought by
some that the squaw has been sent to
the "happy hunting ground"

. PRECoCIoUs BOY FAKIR AND
HIS INTERESTING STORY.

He has Swindled the GullibIe of "a States

Edgar Morris, the youngest fakir on
the road, better known in Fakirdom
and to the ticket brokers, the police
and the newspaper men Of twenty-four
States as Little Edgar, the Spieler,"
has been sojourning in Richmond for
the past several days.
Edgar is twelve years cid and has
travelled on his cheek for about four
years. He has been arrested and locked
UP in more than a dozen cities on the
charge of swindlipg men with gray
boards, but it is his proud boast that
ne has never been kept in durango vile
a longer period than eighteen hours at
one time.
81 can talk myself out of any jeil in
America" he said to a Star reporter as
he rested his elbows on the counter,
crossed his legs and pulled a cigarette
with a blase air in Ticket Broker Wal
ter G. Harwood's place Of business on
Main street yesterday afternoon.

Edgar travelled with Hanlan's
''Shamlock" Company two months last
season, but found theatrical life too
slow for him.
The juvenile fakir is eve so happy
as when relating his history and dis
playing the newspaper interviews with
which he has been dignifed in various
cities New York is the only large city
in the country that has not been hon
ored by Edgar with a visit. He says
he is afraid Of Mr.. Gerry.
During all the time he has been en-
the road he declares he never had TO

Pullman car, and as he seldom fails to
jump his board bill, he invariably has
money enough to indulge his hobby.

There had come a night when, goaded
by her solitude and sick Of her mar
rled life, she had packed a travelling bag
and stole to the station unaided and
boarded the first train, bound for her
fathers house. 1t had been until eleven
o'clock the next day before her hus-
band knew of her departure. Straight
way he had set out to find her and in
stinctively went to Loire. There he
had found her, and tried to make her
feel that she must return with him.
She had been received with great sur
prise, nevertheless af9ctionately, by
her parents. They were distressed
upon hearing her avowal to never live
with her husband again, bat learning
that her decision was u~nalterable they
left it entirely with them.
She frankly told her hu band the
contents of her mind, leaving nothing
untold. He was evidently much dis
tressed, but return u home, sending
ing her the remainder Of her belong
ings and getting a divorce upon the
plea of abandonment.
This had all happened six months
ago. Violet had not seen the face OF
Thurman Weir since that night in
July, a year ago. And as che thought
Of her rash marriage and Of the tor
ture she had suffered on account of it
the suffering she bad brought upon
herself and the one she loved because
Of her inability to control her temper
at a time Of anger and resentment at
come slight st, her heart was sick,
and she leaned her head over and wept.
The minutes went by and Violet still
ley on the window sill and wept, till
she looked like some rare wild flower
bathed in the dew drops Of heaven. So
thought two eyes that had been watch
ing her from ONE shaded spot out in
the moon lit night.
Presently the deluge of tears ceased
somewhat, and she sat recalling in her
mind the sweet strains Of a guitar, or
the lovely, vibrating tones Of a mando
lin, or the bewitching music coming
forth from any instrument under the
velvet touch Of Thurman Weir. She
raised her mead and drew @ deep sigh.
She could hear the soft notes now as
she had heard them then. Suddenly
she held her breath. for plain5ively
and sadly through the still night there
sounded the music of a guitar. She
sat braathless and listened. It was
telling the piciful tale Of a broken
heart. Upon its notes trembled all the
anguish and despair Of a misunder-
standing, all the bitter stuff 9ring of the
past year. To her, it spoke palmer
than words. 1t was all told. She rose
and leaned out of the window. There
was the sound of O guitar falling among
the shrubbery beneath her window
and a few moments later Thurman
and Violet were in each others arms.
