BURGLARY AT WEST POINT.
Convent Entered and Robbed During
Early Mass.

West Point, Nov. 1.-(Special.)-
Sunday morning during first mass a
burglar entered the apartments OF the
Sisters Of Charity and appropriated
sos in paper and silver, and gold
watch which he found in trunk. He
first went to Father Jacoby's residence
and knocked at the back door. The
housekeeper responded, and the man
asked to see the priest, and upon be-
ing informed that he was at church,
left. The Sisters rooms are in the
school building, and, owing to its To-
cation, cannot be seen from the par
sonage, the church being between the
two. He effected an entrance by way
of the cellar, breaking the door lead
ing to the first floor. The door being
broken was what first attracted the at
tention of the Sisters, who at once
started an investigation, with the above
results. The man came here Saturday
evening and stopped at one Of the 'ho-
tells, registering as r. j. Gort, Keokuk,
Iowa. He did not eat any breakfast
Sunday morning, although he had
money. The robbery did not become
generally known until noon, and upon
inquiry it was found out that he was
seen by two OF three different persons
on the road between here and Sawyer,
which is some six miles east OF this
place. A posse started on a handcar
in pursuit Of the man, riding as far as
Sawyer. From there they followed on
foot, but when within about four miles
of Fort Madison the trail was lost.
When the man was here he had a
mustache, but after he left town his
upper lip was minus that decoration.
The chief of police at Ft. Madison not
flied the officials here that the man
hired a team there and was driven to
Burlington. He left there about 8 a.
m. and started from Fl. Madison at
noon. He seemed anxious to get to
Burlington at o'clock, and it is re-
ported that he got there just in time to
catch an outgoing train. It is the sup
position that had he found no one in at
the parsonage he would have gone
through it. 1t is evident that he knew
when church would be in session and
that he is an old offender.
