DISTURBED HIS SLUMBERS
A Gardener Believes That He Fired
Two Shots at a Burglar

c. Swaze, an old gardener, who lives
in shanty on Flower street, near
Tenth, reported to the police yesterday
that he had fired two shots at a burglar
shortly after u o'clock Sunday morning
as the thief was running away, after
trying to force an entrance through a
window. Swaze claims that he has
heard burglars around frequently. The
intruder of Sunday night was trying
to get inside the house for half an hour
before he shot at him. The police are
inclined to believe that the midnight
maurader who disturbed the gardeners
slumbers was nothing more formidable
than prowling dog.
