entertained that II was necessary for him
20 retire. During his peaceful slumbers
one OF the guests relieved him OF his
watch and sl4. This he did not relish so
he took the police into his confidence and
the result was that Mrs Mary Fender
CAST got ride IN the $500 chariot Mary
was held on the charge OF intoxication
and said that Devereaux gave her the
watch 10 pawn so that the festivities
could be extended a few hours longer
than originally planned II is likely the

watch and that Capt Marston will in
spect the premises and see II something
cannot be done TO put an end 70 such
carousals.

BURGLARS IN POLTCEMAN's HOME
The home OF Police Sergeant l.. T Ben
nett at PSI Union avenue was visited by
burglars late last night but they did not
get much in the line OF loot, as they
were frightened away
The fact that the house had been enter.
ed was at once apparent 70 Mrs Bennett
and her daughter on their return from
the theatre, when they were surprised
not 20 be greeted by tho house dog. which
had been locked In a room on the first
floor They investigated and found the
dog locked In n room on the second floor
and while that search was being made
they heard the front door slam This
convinced them that thieves had been
about the premises and a telephone mes
sage was at once sent 10 Sergeant Ben
nett at the Sixth station, who. with Pa
trolman McCrann made quick trip 10
the house.
\ thorough search showed that not
window or door had been forced but that
probably false keys had been used. and
the opinion is held that the return OF
Mrs. Bennett and her daughter caused
tho tntruders TO leave hurried!y by the
front door.
