Elko Free Press. Mr.. Brule is Car
son raised boy.
The evening Of the burglary they
were given farewell party. After
the guests had departed and Mr.. and
Mrs. Brule had retired, they were
awakened by a vigorous rapping at
the door and asked who was there.
On receiving the reply that it was
messenger with an important message
the door was opened. when the burg
lar stuck pistol in Mr.. Brule's face
saving. this is the message, throw
I'D your hands," Mr.. Brule naturally
didn't do a thing but raise his hands
a little higher than he had ever done
before. when the burglar demanded
him to make no ACise, but produce
his money and 81 his jewelry. Mr..
Brule said he a no money in the
house but the man insisted that he
knew better. because Brule had been
paid off that day, to which the latter
replied that he had received draft.
The burglar then asked the where-
abouts of Mrs Brule and being in
formed that she was in bed, directed
Mr.. Brule too march into the room,
which he did-(but Mrs. Brule had
flown She had overheard the con-
yersation at the door. and proven he"-
self equal to the occasion by m6king
her exit through window end run
ming to a near nefghbors' and giving
the alarm.
The burglar at this time heard i
commotion outside and grabbing a
jewel case belonging to Mrs. Brule
which was lying On the bureau made
a run for the door and escape q
The case contained Mrs. Bruio's
watch and other jewelry and a small
