Burglar or Somnambulist?

New YORK. Oct 15.-John Kruger, a
saloonkeepcr of Brooklyn, was awakened
about o'clock in the morning by hearing
some one in his room. After calling to
the Intruder and warning him to come no
nearer, which was disregarded, Kruger
fired ut him, piercing tia heart. The sup
posed burglar proved to be Ernest Nit
schle, II friend of Krugsrs who lived in
rooms above the salcorkoeper, and was
dressed only in his night shirt, which, it
is argued by some, tends to show that he
was sleep walking when ho met his death,
Tho police, however, hold the theory that
Mitschle had planned to rob Kruger.

Nearly ali she money changers dewn
town have stopped displaying gold in
their show windows. and in place Of IL
have great piles Of new copper pennies.
Up to year or so ago the changers
We'd with one another in displaying gold
coin. Sometimes there would be as
much as 81 900 or %. 900 in a window.
and there was usually crowd around
looking at 1t.
About year ago thief in one of
these crowds smashed q window and
made of with q double handful Of gold.
Then the police asked the money chang
ers to take better means to protect their
windows
Some Of them put up wire screens.
Others put up iron bars. Both interfered
with the view of the gold.
Who originated the new funny idea IL
not known. but 1t has taken hold gener-
ally, The pennies. when they came
from the mint. have about the color Of
an American gold coin. They are piled
In the windows. Indian head up.
There Is nothing on that side Of .
cent to tell what it Is. and no doubt
great many foreign patrons of these
places who are not familiar with our
coin think them gold.
Some Of the changers have empty
treasury bags In the windows beside the
pennies. The bags are marked &l5. 900
or $40, 600 or some other large amount.
