BURGLAR SCARED AND FLED.
Offender Probably Believed He Was
Breaking Into an Office.

Last night just before IL o'clock,
someone went up stairs in the Associ-
alton building and attempted to bat
ter down the temporary partition that
is placed in the south end of the hall
so as to form wood room for the
offices in that part of the building.
The partition was broken loose from
the wall on one side, and a great deal
of noise thereby made. The latter
aroused d. Nichols, who has an ad-
joining room, but before he could get
into the hall he heard the man leav-
ing.
Just what motive prompted the
deed is hard to say, but 1t is thought
he believed he was breaking into an
office.
