spector Daniel Dohl and rented the
dwelling-house No. 424 East Fifth
street. The deal completed, he proceed

bride. Last Wednesday he was mar

on their honeymoon. So much for the
newly-wedded couple.

nipht a Mrs. Richmond, who resides
next door to the home Of the bride and
groom, heard strange noises in the
newly furnished home and saw lights
moving around therein. She aroused
her husband and they concluded that
the house was being burglarized. An
alarm was sent in to the police authori-
ties and Sergeant Lucas and two pa
trolmen responded. The sergeant,
knowing that Mr.. DOhl owned the
property. went around to see him and
asked him II he had the key TO the
house. He was Informed by the genial
German that he had rented the prem
dses to a railroad man by the name OF
Knots. who was off on his honeymoon.
"There is someone in the house, and
we believe II is being robbed" said the
sergeant.

front Of the house. The others, with
drawn revolvers, went around on High
street ito effect an entrance to the yard
by means OF a small door in the rear
Of Mr.. Dohl's tool-house.
"Go ahead, you phellers NIT de re-
vclves," said Mr.. Dohl, pointing to the
small door, which was just large
enough for one man to crawl through
at time.
"You are better acquainted with the
premises than we are" said the ser

"But / have no weapon remOn-

hurt you"
"All right; come ahead" said Mr..
DOhl. "In take you in there"
He went and the others followed. A
thorough inspection was made OF the
