Once more the burglars made a sue cessful raid on a house in this city Last evening R A Kirk's residence on Ninth street was the scene of the boldest burglary that has yet taken
 JIace. Early last 6vening Mr. and Mrs. Kirk left to go to the home of Mrs. Stonehouse to remain all night Soon after they left the burglar enter ed and went to work. He lighted a candle and made a careful search of the bed. dresser. trunks and a suit case.
 Mrs. Jack Sparks. who lives next door was passing the house at the time the burglar was at work. She noticed that the curtain was up at the front window and that someone had lighted a candle and was moving about the front room. Thinking that MT. and Mrs. Kirk had returned earlier han they expected she called out good evening"" to which she got 10 answer. Still thinking that it was MT. Kirk she passed to the side of the house and called out again. The burg lar then ran to the side door and lock ed it, picked up something from a table and 'doused the glim." Mrs. Sparks then realized that the house was being visited by a burglar She ran to a nearby house for help, but the man refused to go as be was bath ing; she went to the next house and MT. Saunders took his gun and ran back with her to the house but the burglar had gone by the front way leaving the door wide open.
 Mir. Saunders went into the house and investigated. The rooms were in a state of confusion. household goods and clothing being thrown about the floor.
 Mrs. Sparks at once sent word to her husband who told the officers what had happened. but the officers did not think that any good could be accom- plished by going to the house al the time. In the meantime someone had gone out after MT. and Mrs Kirk and when they returned were greatly shocked to find their hone in such a condition. A hurried search for their valuables was made. Mrs Kirk found that the burglar had stolen her Cia- mond studded gold watch. her brooch one Of the little saving banks put cut by he First National bank in which there was something like four or five dollars and some loose change tha5 they had left on the dresser.
 MT Kirk came COwn town to get all officer to go tO The house with him and see if a clue could be found as to the Identity of this prowler. Re.nzar Hopkins went 10 the house and ws., given a description of the stolen ar- ucles and Mrs Sparks gave as good description of the burglar as s1e could He is Q white man. rather shorj. When MT. Kirk left the house he pull ed down all the curtains. the burglar put up the curtain at the front window which seems to be queer thing 10 do when his success depended on his not being seen.
 The officers are at sea. At first it was thought that a gang was opera.. ing here but last nights burglary proves that it is one man and that he is an expert at his criminal calling and is probably a very desperate man who. if coTnered. will shoot or get away.
 Following is a list Of the missing articles as furnished by Mir. Kirk: Ladies gold watch with fluer de lis on back studded with chip diamonds. en- graved on inside case. "Franke from Bob" ladies gold watch chain, pearl shirt stud, two gold shirt studs, imita- tinr diamond brooch saying bank. property of First National bank, ia which was several dollars.
