An attempt was made Sunday morn
ing about o'clock to burglariZe the
residence of Mr.. Sam Miller Ala Park
street. Mr.. Miller was awakened about
this time by some one moving in an ad-
joining room, but supposed it was one
of his daughters, and paid no attention
TO 1t. In a few moments he heard the
girls scream and going into their room
found them very much frightened, hav-
ing been awakened, they said, by some
one creeping on his hands and knees
by the side of the bed towards the dres-
ser. Mr.. Miller hUrriedly dressed, Sc
cured his revolver and gave chase to
the would be robber, whom he found in
DR.. Miners yard. Noticing a man on
the doctors steps, and supposing it
was the doctor himself, Mr.. Miller
called, Give it to him Doci' The man,
who was a confederate of the Miller
thief, replied, 4 will give it to you,'
and fired several shots at Mr. Miller
The two thieves then jumped the fence
into T. F. Seymour's yard and ran from
there into the alley in the rear of DR..
MitchelIs place. Mr.. Miller gave chase
and fired a parting shot after the men,
who were running south. Mr.. Miller
then proceeded to hunt up a policeman.
Going to the U. P. depot he said:
Where can find a policeman Two
were in the gate tenders house, re-
piled, Here we are, do you want us?''
When told of the attempted robbery
and of the shooting, one of the officers
said, We thought we heard shots''
Mr.. Miller and the officers hunted for
the burglars for some time, and
watched the incoming freight trains
but did not get their men. Entrance
was effected at the Miller house by
turning the key in the parlor door by
nippers. At the Miners, the thieves
did not get in at all. Mrs. Miner was
alone in the house at the time, the doc
tor having been called to visit a coun-
try patient, and even her little dog,
Cute, deserving her and crawling I'M
der the bed.
