Westminster Place Home Robbed
Without Their Being Disturbed.

W. l. Wilson of No 1862 Westminster
place yesterday notified the police that bur-
glars had stolen from his home two over
coats and several umbrellas Tuesday night.
How the thieves gained an entrance to
the House Is the question Mr.. Wilson and
the police are asking. The stolen articles
Were in the main hallway. They were there
at IL o'clock when Wilson keyser. nephew
Of Mr. Wilson, returned home. Two watch
dogs slept in the house. but they made no
noise during the night.
The servant found burnt matches in the
kitchen when she started the fire. But she
did not suspect that burglars had been
there. Mr.. Wilson discovered the theft
when he started to go downtown. Both of
his overcoats were gone from the hall and
his umbrellas also were missing Detect
Ives who were assigned to the cou,d
find no marks indca ting that windows or
doors had been forced open.
