Numerous additional wagon loads or
STOLEN goods have been hauled to tho
police station from tho caches OF burg

The big rooms occupied by Chief

OF nondeScrIpt junk which would mako

way OF describing this pile OF stuff, eX-
cept TO say that 1t contains little OF
everything ever seen in human habl-
nation, and then some.
The police at first thought seriously
of making an inventory OF the Carlson
catch. but as that Industrious cop kept
casting his net and hauling In addi-
uonal loads Of swag. they threw up
ltheir hands in holy horror and aban-
fdoned the job

nection with these burglaries. Through
out the whole period over which tho
commission of the crimes continued
! Mrs. Roberts, wife of the principal
thief. protested with her utmost Vigol
against the work OF pillage which hcl
Husband was carrying on. The pool
woman was driven almost to the poinc
OF insanity as the fruits OF his mid
night mardudings piled up in their
fhome. She felt. she knew, that ex..
posure was sure 10 come, and the
thought of the disgrace that must fall
upon herself and children so wrought
upon her mind that she became a ner-
rVouS wreck.
One nighs her burglar-husband stood
before her with a sack OF swag and
STufly ordered her to hide il ava,
with especial care. She refused. de-
clarinS that though she loved her hus-
lband and was willing to die, if she
could do so honorably, for his sake.
sho would not be his accomplice to any
extent whatever in the criminal work
he had in hand. This womanly protest
met with curses and abuse and the
Wretched wife fell upon her knees and
pleaded for mercy. That was last
Thursday night.
Wife Has a Dream.
1t was long past midnight Friday
morning when the burglar and his wife
retired. Just before daylight, as he lay
sound asleep she sprang screaming
1rom the bed. He awoke and demanded
an explanation OF the hullabaloo.
Herman, Eerman,' she cried In pit
eous tones. get up quick. the police
are coming TO get you. l saw them in
q dream. I saw them come to the door.
"A large man threw himself upon YOU
like tiger and they put iron things
on your wrists. Then they dragged you
of TO Jail and 1 saw the patrol wagon
come and carry away all the things
you have stolen. Get up. for heavens
sake, and make YOUR escape before 1t
Is too late"
This appeal Of course. had no effect
on the hardened wretch and after ad-
dressing TRADE of profanity against
his faithful wife, he turned over and
went TO sleep. A few hours afterward
'Herman Roberts felt the heavy hand
Of Carlson at his throat and as he PAGES
his narrow cell today he probably re-
fleets that there may be something in =
dreams after all.
