A burglar got into the house of Council

Thursday morning and escaped with $50 Of
Mrs. Schroeders money and 2s cents taken
from the savings bank of a small daughter.
although Mrs. Schroeder saw the man and
gave the alarm. The big statesman from

forethought to keep his money close by

The burglar entered through a window
on the north side of the house. He ram
sacked trunks, closets and the sideboard
on the first floor taking Mrs. Schroeder s
money from drawer in the latter. Then
he mounted the stairs.
Mrs. Schroeder happened to be I'm the

the family awake. She saw the burglar s
shadow on the wall, slammed the bath
room door and screamed as loud as she
could. A daughter and gRrl friend, who
were sleeping in a rooIr csose by, woke
up and Joined in the screaming. Then the
heavyweight councilman was aroused by
the trio and rushed into the hallway. He
raised his voice In query as to what was
wrong and tried to get to the women, but
they thought he was the burglar and re-
doubled their cries. BY the time the coun-

LAWN SOCIAL GREAT SUCCESS
Annual Event for Beneat Of ST. Pat
rIck's Church DFaNvh n
Great Crowd.

Vlnton street ball park was ablaze with
light and full OF merry people last night.
1t was the annual lawn social for the
benefit OF st. Patrick's church.
II very much resembled, and SO 1t was
intended, a county fair. There was a
quaint country store, where could be
bought almost everything from baking
powder to a washing machine; booths
where popcorn and lemonade were sold; a
vaudeville show; tables for ice cream; a
band; a place where you hit the baby
and get cigar; in fact almost everything
that could be interesting at a lawn social
or fair. Dimick's band was there with
the music and it might be remarked In
passing that "The Wearing of the Green"
was called for about five times.
Passing into the grounds one found on
the right of the entrance a country store,
where three pretty maidens in rustic garb,
Miss Kennedy, Miss Lyons and Miss Lo-
retta Rush, sold gum and clothespins to
eager customers. The proprietors of the
store were r. Yocum, R. ]. Kennedy, A. j.
Kennedy and Mr.. stryker. There was SO
much business that the Elks' quartet, con-
sisting of Messrs Brown, Brennan, Miller
and T. Swift, was called upon to assist
both with sales and in the entertainment OF
the public with songs.
Next came the vaudeville show under the
direction of Mrs. R. E. Yocum and Miss
Ella Brown. Several performances were
given during the evening. The following
appeared on the stage: J. Reeves, p f

DRIVER HELD UP ON THE ROAD
Highwaymen stop and Rob Two
Men on Center street Near
Thirty-Sixth, and Escape.

While Henry Hannemann, a driver for
Rohln Bros wholesale liquor house,
Twenty-sixth and Leavenworth, was re-
turning with his wagon from Ruser's park
at 1880 Thursday night, where he had been
delivering goods, two masked men sprang
out from behind some weeds at Thirty
sixth and Center streets and stopped the
team, commanding the driver and his COM
panion, Fred Weiss, to Surrender. After
stopping the team the robbers fired four
shots into the air evidently intending TO
frighten the men. After firing the shots
the robbers compelled the men to get
down from the wagon, where they went
through the pockets OF both men, taking
S24 in money from Hannemann. They
went through Weiss pockets, but their
search revealed nothing.
II was about thirty minutes before the
driver could get TO a telephone to report
to the police, but at IL O'Clock the sta
ton was called up and fairly good de-
scription of the highwaymen given. Of
