the total UP to $4,000.

SUPPOSED BURGLAR CAPTURED.
His Name Is Henry Jackson and He
Is COlOred.


For the past few weeks there has
been such a close succession of bur-
glaries in the vicinity of Dunmore,
that the police began some days ago
to think there was regularly organ
lied gang of thieves operating
in that place. This opinion was
that all the burglares We're of
the same character. Last night when
the police of Dunmore captured Henry
Jackson, colored, they caught whom
they now believe to be one of the chief
depredators of the gang.
1t was 6 o'clock last evening when
the members of John Higgins family,
residing on Drinker street discovered
that a colored man had entered the
front door of their home and had
walked out with hat and various other
articles of clothing that We're about
the room. The Higgins We're highly
incensed at he sight and Immediately
gave chase.
The colored man proved a good run
ner and made good his escape through
field near by.
Chief Healey, of Dunmore, was no.
titled of the theft and dispatched Pa
trolmen Burke and McGrail in pursuit
of the robber. After some difficulty
they located their man in a Scranton
bound Suburban street car and placed
him under arrast. 1t is believed Jack
son was making for the depot. He
was arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Cooney, of Dunmore, who fixed
bail at $500, and in default of which
he is now being held in the county
Jail.
Jackson was an employe of Burke
Bros, of Dunmore, for several years
| past.
