YOUTHFUL BURGLARS
 TAKEN BY THE POLICE
Their Operations Against h'Kee's
 Cash Store.

Officers Reiber and Tipton between 9 and 10 o'clock Friday night, arrest- ed Raymond Thompson and Donald Dewitt, aged nine and thirteen years respectively on the charge of burglar. izing McKee's cash store. The burg lary was committed on Thursday night though it does not seem to have been discovered until Friday night, or if if was no report of it was made to the police before It consisted in break ing into a show window of the stors by first cutting a glas with a glass cutter, then knocking the section Of glass out with a hammer or missile nf some kind and taking a quantity of candy from the window. The goods taken did not amount to much but the breaking of the glass was a very ser iOus matter, constituting burglary. NJ Mckee. however. did not make the complaint on which the boys were ar~ rested, nor has he interested himself in the matter.
 The fact of the burglary was report ed to the police through other parties who got their information from a boy who saw the lads soon after the deed was done and to whom they had boast ed about it. Only one name was known, that of the Thompson boy. The IdnlllN resides near rive GOlnlS ana the officers went there and found the lad who after being questioned acknowi- edged that he was implicated in the affair and told who was with him. It appears that they stole the glass cut ter somewhere else having planned the deed sometime before. After getting this information the police sought the home of the other boy, Dewitt. taking both of them into custody. Yesterday they were transferred to the county authorities and were arraigned before Justice JOhnstOne who set their hear ing for Monday afternoon at o'clock.
 The father Of the Dewitt boy it Is understood is in Mexico and he is here with his mother. Both the boys seem to be in the incOrrigible class and the police have been bothered considerable with them. A number O. instances of vandalism and outlawry are attributed to them. Tn this case the Dewitt boy admits having been present but says he had nothing to do with the breaking of the window

who make business of catching them collect in

being plentiful in that region, worth only two

Some Minor Reptiles
THERE are many minor reptiles for which the de-
mand is rather variable. Thus, dealer, though
keeping supply of iguanas perhaps, would not
think it worth while to put monitors his regular
price-list. Monitors which weird-lookng lizards
two and half feet long from India, are wanted
usually only by geological gardens. few chame-
Icons from South America might be in stock, but
''chuckwallas" would be furnished only to order.
The "chuckwalla" is found in Death Valley; it
is about eighteen inches long, lives on flowers
(such yellow cassas and lotus blossoms),
and is exceedingly good to eat, tasting like bull
frog.
The most dreadful deserts of the far West are the
abode of numerous species of reptiles with which
most people are entirely unacquainted and which
have no important figure in the business. Some of
Them indeed in collections, for the reason
that it is difficult to catch them. In Death Valley
there is the gridiron-tail lizard which runs faster
than horse To get even within gunshot of it is
not easy. 1t starts at full speed, stops with equal
suddenness and travels with such velocity that the
eye hardly follow it. There is not satisfactory
profit in chasing such creatures for commercial
purposes, and that is why (as is the with
