BURGLARS At WORK.
HOME OF j. o. MULLEN RAN.
SACKED EARLY LAST NIGHT.
Only Small Sum OF Money Taken.
Burglars Went Through Entire
Buildins-The officers Have
No Clue.

Burglars are abroad in the city
again and for the second timr within
few nights another house was bur
glarized. Last night between and
10 O'Clock the residence of James o.
Mullen on Second avenue, between A
and B streets, northwest, was en-
tered, and several rooms ransacked,
but only pocketbook, containing
one dollar and fifteen cents. is miss
ing. The drawers Of the various dress
ers in several OF the rooms were
opened and clothing scattered, but
none stolen. The entrance was effect
ed by the use of a skeleton key as
both the front and rear doors Of the
house were opened. 1t is thought that
before the intruder could complete
his work he was scared away by
the fact that large vase sitting on
n dresser In one of the rooms was
thrown off in the burglars attempt to
force open one of the drawers which
was locked, overturning the vase, and
on account of the further fact that
DR.. Bogie lived near by.
Mr.. Mullen was down town on busi-
ness and Mrs. Mullen went over to
DIR. Bogie's house to spend a short
while, not intending to remain any
length of time. However, when she re-
turned home and found things in n
topsy-turvy condition, the police de-
partment was notified, as was the
marshal's Office and both sent repre-
sentatives to the scene. Deputy MAJ
shal A. j. Chapman went for the
marshal's force, but could find no
clew as TO the perpetrators OF the
deed.
J. o. Mullen was seen this morning
and expressed 1t as his opinion that
the work was done by one who knew
the layout OF the premises from the
fact that only money was searched
for. Mr.. Mullen had had some money
in the house, but had deposited the
same.
The matter is being carefully sift
ed by both the marshars force and
the police department.
