door which had been nailed up open
At about the same time Alfred Cochran
came to his place, found the door open
and after ascertaining that no one of
the family was in, looked about the
house and saw stranger of about medi-
um height, dressed in dark clothes, max
ing off in front of Parker's house. The
man had kept the house between Park
er and himself, and Cochran followed
him until he disappeared among the
cars and buildings of the Santa Fe
route. Both Parker and Cochran made
a hurried invoice and found nothing
whatever missing. Parker's wheel
would doubtless have been taken had he
arrived few moments later. The mat
ter was reported to the police, but it is
unlikely that an arrest will be made.
