BURGLAR WORKS BY DAYLIGHT
AGED WOMAEs CATCHES HIM
RANSACKIEG A ROOM.

The burglar who has been operating
so successfully in the city of late has
grown so bold from past success that
yesterday afternoon he broke into and
ransacked a house almost I, thin the
shadow Of the county Jail. He was
caught in the very act by an aged wo-
man Of the household, but made good
his escape.
The house broken into was the resi-
dence of Mrs Hyde. 246 West Second
South street. The burglar not only
succeeded in getting away, but took
with him about $50 worth of jewelry.
He effected an entrance into the house
through a rear window by cutting the
screen and prying the window up. He
followed the method used in previous
burglarieS and ransacked the house
from top to bottom.
The contents of closets and drawers
were dumped onto the floor and every
thing of value taken. The burglar evil
IDENTIFY took his time and picked out
the most valuable things he could find.
His booty consisted of 81 in cash. a
pair of pearl opera glasses, four gold
souvenir spoons, a pair of gold brace
lets, a ruby ring and a diamond ring.
The family were all away from home
at the time and Mrs. Wilcox, an aged
woman living at the house, was the
first 70 return. She came home about
L o ClOEh, anu when she stepped into
the house she discovered it's torn-up
condition and started TO investigate. AS
she stepped into the front room she
was confronted by a man who was in
the very act Of ransacking it. Before
the woman could gain composure
enough to even call for help, the man
had dSrted out the front door and was
seen no more. Mrs Wilcox said moth
ing of the matter until her daughter
came home. 1t was then reported 10
the county jail and last night to the
police. Mrs. wilcox gave the latter a
partial description of the man and
they are hunting for him.

later captured by the police.
O'Brien was seen in the store during
the evening, but as he did not want to
purchase anything, not much attention
was paid to him. He suddenly diSap-
peared and the clerk discovered that
the pants were gone also. He tracked
