burglars at Fairfield.

Night Waterman Joseph Perry at
Fairfield came upon four burglars early
Monday morning just after they had
succeeded in blowing he outer door
from the safe in Hiram Burgess iewelry
store there, but the robbers made their
escape after a lively exchange of shots,
none of which took effect. The force of
the explosion wrecked several show
cases and did some minor damage to the
interior of the store, but as the men
succeeded in obtaining nothing except
about 81 in change from the money
drawer the loss was not large.
Officer Perry had just turned the cor
ner near Burgess store at LAO a. m.
when he heard q heavy explosion, evil
IDENTIFY from the direction of the store.
He rushed around to the front door and
was confronted by man with revolver
who ordered him to halt. At the same
time three other men rushed from the
store and started down the street at top
speed. Then the man In the doorway
fired, the bullet passing through Perry's
trousers leg. The man then fled TO join
his companions, the officer following.
AS they passed SmalPs stable a hostler
named Burns, attracted by the sound of
The shooting, thrust his head through a
window to see what MAS the cause of
the trouble, but bullet from the fleeing
burglar passed within a few inches OF
his head and the window went down
with crash. The chase was continued
for time, but finally the robbers sue
ceeded in shaking off the officer and ne
returned without them.
Entrance to the store was gained by
forcing the front door and the clumsy
manner In which this job was done and
the subsequent blowing up of the safe
was done, indicates that the robbers
were amateurs. The police believe they
were tramps. Mr.. Burgess succeeded
In getting at the contents of his safe
shortly after 8 o'clock. He estimated
his loss at 800. The safe is a wreck
and Of no use but for scrap.
Had the burglars not been frightened
away 1t is probable that another charge
would have been used in opening the
inner door. Quite sum Of money was
in the safe beside large quantity of
valuable jewelry.
