ken into Monday might by burglars. The

there Is scant likelihood OF capturing
them. The houses broken into are on

In each case through the rear. The losses
reported by the residents OF the several
houses are not very great.

I.ENIENCY FOR GALLANT YOUTH.
A petition was In circulation YESTERDAY
ASKING the City Council to refund the
fines of the young men convicted IN the
Police Court one day this week OF being
digorderly. There were some eight or ten
OF the young men fined $3.50 each, and all,
they allege, because they chose to serc-
made some young ladies. AS a matter or
fact, they were in the yard OF one OF tne
most prominent citizens Of the city imme-
diately before their arrest. Special Offl-
