Oklahoma Burglar Who Found More Than
He Could Garry Away.

Guthrie, o. T., June 1.-THE Oklaho-
ma City Times-Journal has the follow:
ing. In the last week several burglar
les have occurred here in the city and
the police have been trying to ferret
out the offenders and bring them to JUS
tfce.
Some time ago the Turf was burglar
lied and later Boston Wilson's drug
store was broken into. Last night
about IL O'clock the store of c. Hast on
Grand avenue was entered and but for
the diligence of the police another rob-
berry would have occurred.
The police were on the alert and for
several days have been snadowing
Baily Haines and Will Kane, two young
men of this city.
Last night they were sure that the
store Of Mr.. Hast would be broken into
and so they came TO Mr.. Hast and told
him what they suspected would happen
He and Deputy Joe Concannon secreted
themselves in the store to await devel-
opments. About IL o'clock Baily
Haines came to the window at the ref
of the room and pulling the sash down
from the top crawled in. He came up
to where Joe Cannon was, who with
his gun in his hand took Haines by the
arm and asked him what he wanted
Haines was completely surprised and
unarmed. He stammered out some
thing about wanting TO see Mr. Hast
Just then Mr.. Hast ran to the back
door and threw it open to catch Kane
who was on the watch outside
Kane ran and was pursued and
caught in Hickey & Regan's saloon.
They both deny that they are guilty Of
went into the store to see Mr.. Hast.
The boys were taken to jail where
they passed the remainder of the night.
1t is supposed the boys were after
guns with which they intended to arm
themselves and go after bigger game
the next time
This afternoon informa ton was fled
in the probate court against Haines by
Mrs. Hast, and Mr.. Haines' preliminary
VIII be had perhaps tomorrow No
complaint has yet been fled against
Kane, but II is likely one will be filed to-
morrow.
