 A SCARED 8URGLAR-Mrs. Shrewsbury and daughters, of the Spooner Dramatic company reside at
 the corner of east Adams and Seventh streets. Owing to the nature of their profession they do not retire early and last night about midnight while
 
 | ladies were lying down, they heard q noise in an adjoining room. Mrs. | Shrewsbury stepped in to investigate | and saw a man in the act of working l his way through the window, the 1 screen having been pushed up and
 resting lightly on his back. She ia- startiy exclaimed, I'll kill you" and was particular to say 1t in a manner | that indicated that she was not jok- | ing. She ran to an adjoining apart ment and secured hsr revolver, which | by the way is not a mere property" | filed with blanks. When she returned | she saw the intruder just climbing over the fence which was a few paces | from the house. He was too far away | for accurate aim but being a woman | who keeps her word she sped a bullet | after him and followed it with a God speed. Its only effect was to acceI-
 crate the mans speed and arouse q | neighbOr who mounted a wheel is | quickly as possible but not quick
 enough to get in sight of the wou,d-be robber after he rounded a corner. The | police were notified at once but five
 minutes was ample time for the mans | escape. He had about four minutes to spare. Mrs. Shrewsbury says he was
 seemingly above average height and had on light colored shirt.
