ROBS NEAR
SLEEPERS

The nome OF n. A. Martin at 5ll
West Pike street was entered by a
burglar sonl-time during tae night
Monday and nearly hundred dollars
in cash and fine gold watcn were
taken from Mr.. Martins clothing
which were hanging on the bed wher,
ne lay sleeping.
The robbery was discovered Tuesday
morning about five O'Clock by Mr.. Mar
tin w6en he arose and went to look for
his watch to see what time it was.
Upon looking in tae usual place upon
the bureau ne was surprised not to
find 1t. He went to look in his vest
pocket but could not find it. He taen
began 10 look around the house and
soon discovered that the place had been
entered sometime during tae night by
a burglar. When he examined MS
suit of clothes which he had nung on
tne bed ne found that the pockets mad
been rihei. In one of the hip pockets
of his trousers he mad a large bill book
in waien he aad SIS in currency, a
check for 1856 and some papers. The
bin book was gone.
After looking the mouse over it was
found that the burglar nad effected an
entrance into the place through the
transom over the kitcaen door in the
rear of tae house. After getting inside
the thief went upstairs to the room
wnere Mr.. Martin was sleeping and
stole his gold watch and the money
aud otaer articles from his clotaing.
Returning the burglar unlocked the
back kitchen door over wnicn he nad
come in and walked out leaving tie
door unfastened.
Mr.. Martin found his bill book and
papers lying on tae step of a ladder
resting against the Kitchen wall near
Sthe rear door minus the ss5 in money.
Tne caeek for s5.65 he found on the
floor near the kitchen door. The rob
ber had discarded The check and papers
as being valueless to 0im.
The robber made mis- entrance and
escape aud secured mis- booty without
disturbing Mr.. Martin or ais wife. al
though the thief was in tae very room
where they were sleeping. Two otner
members of tine Martin family were
sIssping in the mouse and two roomers
also. None of them were aroused by
any noise during the night.
Mr.. Martin has notified the police and
they are working on the case Taere
gave been several petty house robberies
in the West end of the city the past
several weeks and it looks like all were
committed by the same person or per
sons.
Later in the day Mr.. Martin swore
out warrant in Magistrate Gordon
court against W. W Williams. colored
WHO resides in the rsar of tine Martin
place. charging him with the theft.
Williams was arrested by a constable
and his house searched, but not any of
the stolen property was found efsaer

ing no further evidence. the magls-
trate discharged him.
