A bold and persistent robbery was re-
corded at the Chaffee street police sta
ton this morning. by Pstrolmsn Tracy,
ana Il is thought probable that the robber
will sooner or later be taken into Gus
tody.
John r. Fox. who conducts liquor
saloon at 215 Manton avenue, after cios-
ing I'D for the night went 10 the rear
OF his saloon and there spent some time
In counting UP his cash and looking over
the receipts and expenses of the past
month.
All was, OF course. as stin as could he
ina gined. when Mr.. Fox heard crash
OF falling glass, and this was followed
by a noise that as quick as thought,
led MIR. Fox To believe that the glass
was that in his display window.
He ran TO the front door which was
locked. but was quickly opened. and there
ne saw a man running up Manton ave-
nue.. Mr. Fox gave chase as far as
Hyatt street, where the fleeing man took
refuge in n yard.
Upon returning to his shop Mr. Fox
took account Of stock i'm the window, and
found that the man who broke the glass
had helped himself 10 a bottle OF choice
Irish whiskey.
The window was boarded up and the
police notified
Mr.. FOX resumed his work In the rear
of the saloon. and just before ! o'clock
left for his home.

was awakened by a patrolmsn who rang
his bell. and informed him that his saloon
had been broken into. Mr. Fox thanked
the patrolman. and informed him that
he was aware OF that fact, but when the
policeman said that this was a second
break. he dressed and went TO his saloon.
and there found that another window had
been broken and liquor to the value OF
SIS had been taken out
The young MIN who did the trick must
have taken desperate chances. for Pa
trolman Tracy was as vigi1ant as he
could be. and the job must have been
done when he was some distance from
the saloon, and the man who broke the
window must have carried or the booty
in a bag.
Mr.. Fox II quite confident that ne
knows the young man that he chased up
Manton avenue. and n Is presumed that
