There was considerable excitement on
Webster avenue at lo:S last evening. for
will, OF course. attract attention at any
place or time.
The excitement was at the handsome
residence OF Emory J. San Souci. 1876 Web
, ster avenue. and was caused by two or
more hard looking characters making an
attempt to enter through the rear door
by the means OF false keys.
There was but single gas Jet burning.
and very dimly, too, for Mr.. San Souci
was attending the opening session Of the
Sunset club.
AT this hour Of the evening the men
undoubtedly presumed that tho entiis
family was away. and deemed II good
opportunity TO make haul.
The rear door of the residence Is pro-
tected by a storm entry. and the door to
this In without a lock.
The mon were in this entry and Mrs
San Souci heard some one at work upon
the door leading to the kitchen. She
quickly aroused her daughter and the
| house maid and all went into the kitchen.
| whereupon Mrs. San Souci informed the
men that II they did not leave she would
shoot. At the same time Miss San Souci
| went TO the front or the house and called
for help and the men took hurried de-
| parture, one going down Sterling avenue
| and the other towards Pocps sset avenue.
Word was at once sent to the Chaffee
| street police station and Lieutenant Tylor
| and Patrolman Feeney were soon on the
scene They secured the vicinity but
found no one that had any appearance of
being burglars. The members OF the sta
| ton were notified to keep an eye on all
| suspicious persons. but none were found
during the night.
| There have been several attempts oi
| this sort made within few nights. which
| would Indicate that q gang OF midnight
marauders is in the vicinity. II would
be well for sll to see to II that doors
and windows are securely fastened for
the night before retiring.
