The robbery was committed Saturday,
in broad daylight, while Mr.. Crawford
was at the home Of a neighbor. No one
saw the two men near the house, and
Mr.. Crawford did not know his residence
had been looted until he discovered the
open window through which the burglars
had entered. He Immediately made a
search Of the house and found that three
watches. chain. pair OF ear rings and
a breastpin We're missing. Not satisfied
with jewelry alone. the burglars had Wis
tied the larder and helped themselves
there. After discovering that he had
been robbed Of about $50 worth of valua-
bles, Mr.. Crawford hurried 10 Mulvane
and notified the officers, who telephoned
TO AL points near at hand warning the
officers TO keep a lookout for two sus-
picious-looking characters. This proved
to be unnecessary. for before morning the
Mulvane marshal captured the two men
near that city. When searched all the
valuables taken from Mr.. Crawfords res
idence were found secreted in their cloth
ing. They refused TO give their names
at Mulvane, but after being brought to
this city Sunday and lodged behind the
bars of the county Jail by Sheriff Schad.
their tongues loosened up a little and
they gave the names of Joseph Smith and
George Scott.
These two men are strangers to Null
vane. and are new ones in Wichita. and il
is a mystery to people living in the Craw-
ford neighborhood how they could come.

seen by anyone. However. their work

are supposed to have come in from the
south. The time for their hearing has not
