BURGLARS HAVE BUSY
NIGHT AT RvILLE

SOMERVILLE, Oct. 2.-Burglars
entered Sunday night, houses in the
exclusive Cliff street section of Som
e%rville, and stole several hundred
dollars worth of property. &
They first entered the residence of
j.. A. Renahan, a New York business
man, about s pm. The family was
absent. There they secured gold
watches, diamond rings, and a num-
Der of family heirlooms. Robert &c.
Morton met the thieves as they were
coming out of the Renahan residence,
and installing them in the dark for
members of the Renahan family,
spoke to them as they passed. 9
The men made no reply and arous-
ed Morton's suspicious. They cross
ed the street to the opposite corner
and disappeared in the rear of the
residence of w. e. Sidell, a New
York business man. Mrs. Sidell
heard a noice in her room and inves-
tigated. On opening the door she
saw two men retreat to a balcony and
drop to the ground, about fifteen feet
below.
The police and a number of citi-
zens were soon on their trail and kept
up an all night hunt without captur-
ing them.
The burglars gained entrance to
the Sidell house by forcing a window
on the ground floor. They carried
away two gold watches and a small
quantity of jewelry.
