East side, west side, all around tho
town." seems to be the motto of the
burglars who are at present making life
burden to the police department, and at
the same time terrorizing residents
throughout the city. Not d night passes
but the burglars make g raid on resi-
dences in some part of the city, and after
operating in West st. Paul Sunday night
they returned, last night, to the ST. Anth-
ony hill district, where they broke into
The home of ]. w, Martin, 634 Holly ave-
nue..
The robbery was committed during the
absence Of the family. Only tiny Fox
Terrier pup was at home and, Judging
from the. appearance of the canine, it
would have Jared better had it also been
absent, as the robbers appeared to have
bea item. and kicked the little brute almost
to death The burglars secured an en-
trance after the same manner employed
In ell of the recent robberies namely. by
forcing open a window, using a Jimmy
the tell tale marks Of which are always
found on the sill. Once inside they low
cred the windows and went to work
searching the house. They secured one
purse containing $780, another containing
90 cents, and stole q handful of pennies
from a childs bank and were probably
ransacking a writing desk in the parlor,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Martin returned
home, shortly before 10 o'clock That the
burglars were interrupted Is evident from
the fact that none of the silver tableware
was disturbed, nor had they gotten as far
In their search as the second story Of
the house
Mr. Martin says the reighborhood in
which he lives gets but little police pro
lection. He says policeman is seldom
seen in the vicinity. Mr. Martin says
his neighbors frequently tell him of coal
and wood being stolen from their prem

Mann, LIVING at $40 Holly avenue, awoke
to discover burglar trying to remove
the storm sash fl ON his bedroom window
Mr.. Mann frightened the burglars away,
but that the marauders have little fear
Of the police IS indicated by their return
to the same nelghborhood last evening.
The residence of Fred w Foot, the at
torney, 500 Portland avenue, was ran
sacked by the burglars Sunday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foot were away from home
when the burglars paid their visit The
same Jimmy" that has done such
steady service lately pried open
rear window and went through the place.
Mr.. Foot discovered the robbery yester-
day morning, when he found the place in
reckless disorder, but from the fact that
he missed no valuables upon hurried
investigation, 1t may be-the burglars were
frightened away without securing any
plumber. Mrs. Foot is still absent aud
until her return it will not be accurately
known what was stolen.
AT the residence of w. H. Hunt, AZ
