The burglars Evidently Watched
the Movements of Ray jack
son.

Burglars entered the residence Of P.
H. Jackson, 1922 Summit avenue, In
broad daylight, yesterday afternoon,
and carried off property valued at
$500. Among the articles stolen were
gold watch, valued at SIS, several
rings, among them, diamond worth
SlOO, and SIS in money. The robbery
was committed while the members of
the Jackson family were absent from
home, showing the thieves to have
sufficiently famiharized themselves
with the movements of the family to
enable them to pillage the house with
cut rear OF interruption. Nevertheless
MI Jackson's oldest son, Ray, hap
pened to return home in time to catch
the thieves in the act and put them to
Hight, though he was unable to secure
description of the robbers.
About week ago all the members
OF the family, with the exception of
the young man who interrupted the
thieves In their work yesterday, went
10 Lake Chisago to enjoy short out
Ing. The Oldest boy was left at home
to look after the house and guard
against just such q contingency as
arose yesterday, Having occasion to
come down town during the afternoon,
the young nan, + securely locked the
doors OF the residence, starting from
nome shortly after 1 o'clock. From
the appearance Of the house upon his
return 1t was evident that the bur
glars were keeping watch on it's guar

: Summit avenue lis a much freauented
thoroughfare at the time of day the
robbery was committed and the thieves
showed a knowledge of their business
by combining their operations to the
rear of the house. Entering a sum
mer kitchen, where they would be un-
observed, they proceeded to open the
pack door with a pair of nippers. An
entrance once secured the robbers had
Things all their own way and appre-
eating their advantage, ransacked the
house from top to bottom. The bur-
glars We're, however, after booty of
value and from appearances, did not
tarry long on the ground floor. After
going through, the dining room and
library they went up stairs to the bed
rooms where the carefulness of their
search was evidenced by the manner
IN which the contents of bureaus and
drawers were scattered about the floor.
In each Of the rooms the same process
was repeated, not the supposed place
of concealment Of a single article of
value escaping the notice of the
thieves
fortunately most Of the family VAL
uables had been deposited in a down
town safety vault previous to the de-
parture to Chicago, and only in the
front room did the robbers search meet
with the desired reward. Young Jack
son occupies this room, in the absence
of his parents, and in it was kept the
valuables left about the house. The
young man neglected to take his gold
watch with him when he went down
town and upon his return the time
piece was gone. Further investigation
showed that the robbers had also Sc

The first intimation Of ROBBERY that

home about 3be'c9ock. AS he entered
the front door hes heard the sound of
hurrying fotstepsi and the, closing of
the rear door9G Running through the
house the young man found the back
door unlocked and the key upon the
kitchen floor. NoIone. was in sight, but
the presence Of iptruders was appar-

a hurried investigation showed the
burglars to have made clean haul,
and to have safely escaped with their

Last Tuesday night burglars made
an attempt to enter the residence of
A. L. Craig. 174s Princeton avenue in
the same neighboEhood as the Jackson
residence, andafts Is thought that the
parties who perpetrated the robbery
of yesterday are the ones whose at
tempt was then frustrated, but who
have been successful in other parts OF
town.
The police were notified of the bold
burglary and were given the number
Of the watch stolen and description
of the rings in order that the property
might be recovered in case it is dis
