BURGLAR uMnE9 Il BED
0eadwood Couple Terroized Early On.
Euanipu.


Deadwood, S. D., April 12.-The I'M
expected sometimes happens, even to
burglars, for how could Evan Van Zant
have known when he crawled under
the bed of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Thomas that upon their retiring the
bed springs would be SO depressed that
he could not get out.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas conduct Il room
ing house over l.. NJ. Parker's' grocery.
Mr.. Thomas is known to carry consid-
cradle mou n it is probably this
fact that led Van Zant into his uncom-
Portable predicament.
AL about 10 o'clock last night Mrs.
Thomas was awakened by what she
thought to he their dog moving around
under the bed. She Weakened her huS-
band who at first tried to drive the dog
out with d whip, but seeing a mans
foot protruding, lighted a lamp and
taking his revolver coaxed the young
man to come out, stand in a corner and
wait till the police could be called. 1t
is probable that had it not been for
loner instead OF the police would have
been required. Nan Zant had brought
a bar of iron about twenty inches long
which it is probable that he intended
to use when his intended victims We're
sound asleep. He was taken into Gus
tody by the police and lodged in jail.
: Evan Van Zant came here from Tor
onto, Canada, several weeks ago and
obtained work at the Homestake extern
sion tunnel. 1t became evident imme-
diately that he was not used to hard
work and after a few days quit this
work and has since been doing nothing.
He is about twenty-one years OF age,
we'll educated, has dark complexion
with very dark hair and eyes.
