A DAYLIGHT BURGLARY
RObs Sleeping Man and Beats Him
 When He AwakeS.

A bold daylight burglary was com mltted yesterday when a man entered the room in the old Arizona lodging house.

As the robber wes in the midst of his work, Wiggins awoke, an1 when ha saw what the fellow was about he attempted to arise. The bur Elar struck at Wiggins, hitting him in the left eye, struck him again on the forehead and a third time on the left ear. Then the burglar fled. He was later arrested by the police and gave the name of D. Crawford.
 Wiggins came to this city from W'ck- enburg several days ago. Having nothing to do yesterday afternoon he returned to his room end drawing a . curtain across the door leading to tn hallway. lay down on the bed and was soon fast asleep.
 It IS presumed that the burglar in passing through ths hallway saw Wig gins lying on the bed, and realizing that he was asleep, thought it a fa- vorable opportunity to make a little haul. He partially comple ed hi search and secured pair of gloves, a pocket knife. a pair of shoes and $1.25 in money. before Wiggins awoke.
 The blows the burglar dealt Wiggins did more than ordinary damage, as he was holding the pocket knife in his hand when he struck the blows. The knife was closed, but the rough bone of the handle struck Wiggins about half an inch from the left eye and cut the flesh.

SHEER WAISTS FOR SUMMER.
They Are the So-caIIed Wash Waists
 Dainty and Fragile.

To the eye of the observer, it would seem that the new wash waists need ed no excuse for popularity except their own loveliness. Their airy graces make the beholder forget the seen Of the winter silks. Woman dares to force the season, and the result is too charming to be caviled at Besides, an underslip of silk of lawn will fur nish sufficient weight, as well as to bring out more distinctly the beauty of lace insertion or openwork embrcid- cry.
 These lawn underslips bid fair to be worn through the entire summer The filminess of the nets and laces used in the fashioning of waists necessitates either one of these, or else a corset cover made for wear with these partic- ular waists.
 Never have open mesh laces and nets been so lavishly used as on the summer dresses and separate waists Deep lace yolles will be a feature of many of the blouses, or the entire lower half of the blouse may be an in- sert. of all-over lace. Net figures largely in waist adornment. Tleur de lis flower and ether designs are cut from the cloth, SO that the net be- meath shows as a foundation. Of course. this work requires careful stitches. but the effect obtained is ex- tremely dainty. A blouse so orna- mented. and after an original design, possesses that nameless mark Of dis tinctiOn which the woman of moderate income must so often fCrego.

VILLAINOUS IF TRUE
Report That a French Girl Is Being
 Vilely hisuSed.

Members of the local French colony were considerably stirred up yesterday by d report that d F'rench girl, who recently came to this country from Paris. was. bv means of threats be- ing forcibly detained m the disreput- able section southeast of the city famiIia1lY known as the block" The matter was reported to the police but nothing to confirm the report was se- cured by the officers. though the re port is not entirely disorediteG.
 J. A. Porterie. a Frenchman and n deputy city marshal heard of the matter and he is investigating it.. The rerort, as it comes to MT. Porterie is, that a young girl of respectable par entage was induced to leave her home in France and come to this country by being assured of a position as maid in g respectable family at a salary of i've francs, the equivalent of $1.00 per day. which is a big wage in France. She came to this country, but instead of finding employment as pictured to her. vas forced into d life Of shame.
 She is said to have been brought to this city by the gang of French ma quereaux who arrived in the city about a week ago. They have, it is said kept the girl silent, and from communicating with her parents by threats of violence. Mir. Porterie, m speaking of the natter yesterday said:
 T know not yet if the report is true, but if it is l will make it hot for those fellows. The report comes from a re- liable source, but it is hard to get the evidence against the fellows. but if can catch them 1 will see that they so to the penitentiary."
