A J0CULAR BURGLAR
He Yelled "Never Touched Me
When B. H. Standish Took a
Shot at Him.
The Man and His Pal Were Sur
prised Before Securing ANY,
thing Of Value.

'Never touched me- shouted back a
burglar to B. H. Standish as a bullet
whistled by his head. The burglar was
hastily climbing over a fence in the rear
OF Mr.. Standish's residence, lily Haw-
thrne avenue, early yesterday morning,
and he and his companion made their
escape in the darkness.
Mr.. Standish was awakened by the
sound Of some one prowling about his
residence. Hastily securing his revolver,
he made his way to the dining-room,
where he found two men in the act OF
ransacking the premises. AS he APP
peared on the scene they made for the
back door and he followed them. AS he
emerged upon the rear porch he could
see the men scrambling over the back
fence. Taking quick aim he fired two
shots at the fleeing men, but neither bull
let took effect. The men then shouted
back their defiance and disappeared.
4 careful inventory of the property
in the house shows that the men were
frightened away before they succeeded
in getting anything of value. Mr..
Standish has a good description Of both
men and the case will be reported to the
police.

Venezuela through the blockade
1t was the intention of Lieutenant

DEMAND AN EXPLANATION
Council Fire Dept Committeeman
Want Light on Proposed Elk
penditures for Hose. =

Until Fire Chief J. r. Canterbury can
explain to the satisfaction of Aldermen
Lane and DWyer of the council fire de-
partment committee why he is opposed
to the expenditure of all of the $4,000
appropriated for fire hose for that pur-
pose, minority report on that subject
will be forthcoming.
The board of tax levy appropriated
$4,000 with the express understanding
that the hose to be purchased this year
would cost at least that much. CHIEF
Canterbury so informed the board. Since
then the chief has assured tie committee
that $4,000 will buy all the hose needed
now. Aldermen Dryer and Lane are
trying to find out what the chief wants
to do with the remaining $4,000.
They are also asking why his report as
to the condition of the hose on hand is
based on last springs figures. The hose
has been subject to considerable wear and
tear since then, which would necessitate
a larger purchase now than was then
necessary.
A Big Lot of Crow Bait.
It is understood that Chief Canterbury
wants to apply the $500 to the purchase
of horses of which the department is
sorely in need. The opposing aldermen
agree that more horses are needed. but
they insist that an extra appropriation
should have been made for horses
1t is said that never in the history of
the department were there as many poor
horses in service as at present. This
was illustrated at the First Methodist
church fire on the East Side, when a
team from the engine house at Eighth
street and Seventh avenue Sc baked at
the door of the station and refused to
move a step. 1t was only after thorough
drubbing that the team could be in
duced to make the run to the fire few

lost. This team had been bought for a
bagatelle of a farmer in the thirteenth
ward and were utterly unfit for fire de-
partment work.
