THE BOYS WERE FRIGHTENED
They Thought They Heard Burglars
and Called the Police.

A telephone message was received
about o'clock last night at police
headquarters in the city hall by Ser
egant Ridgeway, informing him that
a man was trying to break into a house
at 422 Madison avenue.
The sergeant got into his overcoat,
grabbed a club and started for the
place. 1t was wild-goose chase, how
ever for he found that in the house
were only two young boys, who had
been frightened by some sudden noise
and had sent in the alarm.
The sergeant looked all over the
premises, but finding nothing bearing
even the slightest resemblance to n
burglar, went back again to the city
hall.
