specInl % The EvenInE JournaI.


the attempts Of a gang Of burglars TO
operate in this city, an effort having
been made on Saturday nlght TO rob
the home of Mrs Robert Wright, Fifth
and Harmony streets.
Mrs. Wright was alone and retired
shortly after 10 O'Clock. About 1L2O
o'clock she was awakened by a loud
NOISE coming from the rear Of the house
and arising began an investigation.
Found Evidence Of Attempt
On reaching a back room on the Sec
md floor Mrs. Wright was surprised 90
fnd a window open. the lace curtains
rying on the floor and the shade run up
10 the top. The would-be robbers had
climbed up a grape arbor and crawled
along a shed to the window which they
opened. After tearing the lace curtains
from their fastenings st is presumed
that IN endeavoring 10 raise the shade
81 slipped from their grasp and the
noise made by d striking the top Of the
window frame was what aroused Mrs
Wright NO trace OF the would-be
robbers could be found
Robbers Were Posted.
From the manner OF the attempt Il is
believed that the men. whoever they
were. were aware Of the absence Of the
WriEht family from home and took ad-
vantage Of that fact to make their at
teanpt to rob the house. II Is believed
also that they were aware that a birth
day party had been given Miss Wright
some evenings ago. at which time she
received several presents.
Although no suspicious characters
have been noticed On the city by the
noiice the men who have been operating
here recently are thought 10 he stramg-
crs. On Friday evening last about 7.3O
O'Clock a strange man applied at a
boarding house for a nights lodging.
Being informed that no dodgers were
taken he asked for money with which
10 pay for bed and his request was
granted. As the man left the house ne
was Joined by another and they went
up the street together that being the
last seen OF them.
Election Will be Lively.
There Is evidence that the spring cleo
tion for members Of City Council will
be a livoly'one. as AZ is said that Repub-
licans are already preparing for an ag-
Eressive campaign whereby they hope
10 gain control OF the city's affairs.
The terms OF Messrs. Gallagher, Duffy
and Jemison expire An April and each
will probably seek to succeed himself
Republicans however. do not propose
20 allow the Democrats to have walk
over and win name three men 10 op-
pose their candidates. The new Council
win be called upon to approve police
appointments made by Mayor Boyd, &c
elect a city clerk and to name a city tax
collector and pump repairer.
In the event Of the enactment OF the
bin by the Legislature empowering the
city to borrow s5o.oOo, city Council viii
be an Important factor and this point Is
not lost sight of by Republicans.
