A bold burglar. or probably a couple
OF them, worked their nefarious trade
in Salem last night. and despoiled two
residents of Yew Park of their funds,
while the victims slept the sleep Of
the just. The midnight providers Sc.
cured as their booty about $50 in the
coin Of the realm.
Mr.. J. A. Norwood, the Court-street
grocer. who resides in the G. A. Rock.
well house, on Oak street, found.
when arising this morning, that his
trousers had disappeared from seat
beside his bed during the night. and a
search revealed the fact that another
pair OF trousers had been taken from
a closet nearby, and a third from the
room OF Mr.. Norwood's son, across the
hallway. The last two garments we're
found lying on the landing at the
head OF the stairs, but apparently
nothing had been taken from the pock.

gold watch In his trousers pocket.
The elder Mr. Norwood found his
clothes lying on a lounge in the sit.
ting room downstairs. A S20.gold
piece and about 81 in silver had been
taken from the pockets. but the thief
had very considerably left the purse
he probably having one Of his own in
which TO place the money. Forty cents
in small change was overlooked in
one OF the pockets OF Mr.. Norwood's
clothing, and 10 cents In a pocket of

IPrunk's pocket, and secured ahout
SO in change. They took the trous-
ers from under Mr.. Prunk's pillow
without disturbing the sleepsrs in ths
room, and carried them downstairs
where they ri6ed the pockets. Finding
very little OF value, they searched the
house. and. finding a small desk. which
they were unable to open, they took
Il to the woodshed, secured an ak and
shattered the desk in their search for
money, finding nothing of value how
ever. to reward them for their trouble.
! The inmates of other houses in that
neighborhood report having been dis
turbed during the night by prowlers,
but no other burglaries are reported.
At the Norwood home the burglars
entered through a window on the east
porch. which had been left open by
the family, thus giving them easy ac'
cess to the house. Mr.. Norwood and
son cannot explain how the thieves
gained admittance to their room with
out awakening the sleepers, and the
young man this morning expressed
the conviction that he had been chlor-
oformed, for he complained Of a vio-
lent headache. The young man re.
tired about II o'clock last evening,
and the burglary was committed after
that hour
Chief of Police Gibson was informed
OF the burglaries this morning. and
at once made an examination Of the
premises. He found tracks In the
yards OF the houses burglarized indi-
eating that the thieves we're a man
and woman, the former wearing shoes
with rubber soles and heels. Similar
tracks were found on the platform of
the passenger station this morning,
and II is barely possible that the mid
night providers left town by the early
train this morning The marshal is
working on the case, and will leave nc
stone unturned in his effort to bring
to justice the guilty parties.
