Routed BURGLARS with Fire.

Trying to capture a burglar with a
cannon frecracker was the exciting
experience Of Isaac Taylor and Chas.
Taylor at their home. at Mount Yer
non, Ohio. Mr.. Taylor was awakened
by the burglar and he told his son
Charles to get the shotgun. AS the
son was slow in. finding the gun, the
father quickly got a cannon fire
cracker and dropped 1t out OF an upper
story window on the robbers head
The robber let out terrible yell as
the cracker exploded and made a
hasty retreat in the darkness, with
both the Taylors after him. The rob.
Der escaped and the chase was given
up. Bloodstains on the grass near the
house Indicate that the would-be bur
glar was injured by the explosion Of
the cracker.
