Attempted Burglaries
A burglar attempted to enter the home
of the Misses Stowell this morning at
about o'clock, 1862 South Los Robles ave-
nue.. One of the ladies heard a noise at
an east window and, rising, she turned
on the electric lights, which frightened
the burglar away. 1t was found that
window pane had been broken and the
sash unfastened and raised. The broken
pane was found daubed with mud, which,
it is presumed, was put there to deaden
the sound of breaking. The marshal Sc
cured some of the mud, and it was found
to possess quality peculiar to the ooZe
common about the gas works south of
town, where it was doubtless secured.
At about II o'clock an attempt was made
to enter the home of Judge Weed, on
North Raymond avenue. A noise was
heard outside, and it was found that
some one had removed a screen from a
cellar window. In the morning footprints
made by rubber shoes were found about
the place. The owner can secure the
footprints by calling at the marshaps
office and identifying them.
