Probably Mayor McCaskrin will
deny it in the council chamber tonight,
but there was another burglary in AL
derman Eckhart's ward Saturday night
About $50 in money and gold watch
was taken from the residence of II. w.
Ward, 1884 Second avenue. The may
or may be expected to say that Alder
man Eckhart arranged the burglary so
ne could reiterate the charge that
burglars are having things their own
way in that portion of the city and
none have yet been caught.

The one who did the job evidently
worked deliberately and with a light,
for a child's bank was emptied and the
coins that were not United States
money were discarded and the rest
taken. Entrance was effected through
the cellar, an indoor latch being brOk
en-. \ writing desk was broken open,
and some money was obtained there
and Mr. Wards suit of clothes contain
ing money and the watch was taken.
The watch was valued not only for its
real worth. but on account of its asso-
Citations, and Mr. Ward regrets the loss
of this more than all the rest. The
exit was made by unlocking the front
door 1t is believed that one man did
the job, as there is one trail of tracks
through the yard and out of the front
