MaIloy and Carried OF Two Watches.

Malloy and Carried on Two Watches.
A thief entered the dwelling of John
F. Malloy, at Boulevard and Nineteenth
street, early yesterday morning, and,
though he beat a hasty retreat, he got
away with two gold watches and some
money, which he found in Mr.. Malloy's
bedroom.
Access had been gained through a rear
window, which was reached by means Of
ladder. The noise aroused Mrs. Malloy,
who saw the intruder in the bedroom.
She called out and her husband was
aroused and made an effort TO catch the
thief, but the latter escaped by sliding
down the ladder. Mr.. Malloy fired two
shots at him, but it is believed that neither
took effect.
An addition is being built to the house,
and Mr. Malloy would probably have
caught the man had it not been for the
TACT that there were loose boards lying
around
