ExDired

Aid. Shepard in the course of the dis
cussion at the nlesiing of the board of

BENT ON ROBBERY.
Determined Thief Driven Away
From Joseph Mason's House.

A bold thief attempted to rob the
house of Joseph Mason, 2S3 Charles
street, shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon, in the presence of the hired
girl. The man evidently at first only
intended asking aims, as he rang the
door bell, and when the girl came,
asked for 10 cents. The domestic in
formed the stranger that she had no
money, when he asked for Mrs Mason.
On being told that no one was at home
except the girl the fellow seized the
young woman by the shoulder and
forced his way into the hall. He de-
manded to be told where he could find
any money which might be about the
house and entered the parlor, where he
took pair of cuffs belonging to Mr..
Mason and put them in his pocket In
the meantime the domestic summoned
a N-oodsawyer at work in the yard, and
when the intruder saw him hurrying
around the house he took to flight
He was pursued by the woodsawyer,
who was joined by Officer Meyer in the
chase, but the thief eluded his pur-
sUers and made his escape.

7 THIEF Fooled.

"A bicycle thief came very near getting
away with Edward Woeckner's bicycle,
last evening, while he was in his store
fixing his lamp. Woeckner who keeps a
saloon on the Boulevard and Greenville
avenue, had been riding only a short time
when his light went out, and riding up to
his store dismounted and after leaning
the bicycle up against the gutter went
inside to fix his lamp. He had only been
inside about two minutes, when on coming
out he discovered hat his wheel was
missing. He rushed inside again and Yell
ing to some of his friends that his wheel
was stolen, they all started out in diff
ferent directions. Woeckner ooked up
Greenville avenue and saw a fellow run
ming with a wheel. Feeling sure that it
was his, he started to chase him, at the
same time shouting at the top of his
voice for the fellow to drop the wheel.
The thief looked around n seeing that
he was followed dropped the wheel and
after pulling his hat d@wn over his eyes,
started up Greenville avenue on a run.
Woeckner did not continue the chase,
but said he was satisfied to get his wheel
back as it was a new one and he only
had it about a week. This is the first
time anything of the kind has ever hap
pened in that vicinity. Bicycles have
been left standing for hours outside, no
one ever thinking of looking out for them.
