Thieves Make a Haul.

| Chicago, April 11.-Some estimates
place the amoun the porch climbers Sc
cured at the home of Orrin w. Potter,
the multi-milionaire and ex-president
of the Illinois Steel company. as high as
$4,000. The plumber, the most valuable
secured by thieves in Chicago for years,
consisted of diamonds, jewelry and sill
verware. The home of Mr.. Potter is a
great mansion at the corner of Burton
place and Lak Shore drive. 1t is sup
posed the thieves climbed up the marble
pillars of the porch on the Burton place
and forced open the balcony Win
dows. The family We're at dinner when
the robbery was committed. They had
no i~ntimation Of the theft until Miss
Potter went upstairs soon after dinner.
She at once missed a jeweled brooch, and
a hurried investigation soon showed that
robbers had been at work. Miss Potter
at once NOTED her father, and in Is min
utes it was seen that the second floor of
the house had been ransacked. 1t was
foun that more than $40, 900 worth of
JeWelry was missing. The family de-
cided not to make known their loss for
a While at least, or to notify the police,
having the hope that the thieves might
make a proposition to return the Jewels
for a ransom. r..
Some of the jewels are of such design
and appearance that for the thieves to
attempt to dispose of them in the ordi-
nary way would only invite capture. A
diamond necklace belonging to Mrs. Pot
ter is the most valuable single article
that was taken. Some marouise rings
We're also in the booty.
At the residence the following state
ment was made:
1T was between I and s o'clock when
the robbery occurred. All who We're in
the house at the time We're at dinner, and
the servants were busy in the kitchen
and dining-room. The burglars entered
an upstairs window in front Of the
house. They sealed the porch and pried
open the window without making enough
noise to be heard below. They were in
the house probably not more than Is
minutes, but in that time they went
through all the upstairs rooms. The
manner in which they had gone through
places where jewelry might be kept
would indicate they were accustomed to
the work. There was no money in the
house, but there was a large amount of
1eWelry. The amount taken is not above
500, 0OO."
This is the third big burglary within
a week on the fashionable Lake Shore
drive. The police are of the opinion that
one gang has done all the work, and the
character of the operations shows the
mber to be experts in their line. All
efforts to get n clew of them have been
Ruthless. although the best detective
ability had been conferred on the case.
The police believe that the booty secured
by the burglars is shipped to other cities
and disposed of, for although the pawn
shops in Chicago have been carefully
watched, mt of the stolen property has
been recovered.

such privilege, the burden being on such
parties of proving by u preponderance
of evidence that the land from which
the TIM Der is taken is mineral within
the meaning of the act.
3. The privileges granted are confined
| to citizens of the Unitei States and
