ton with the shooting of the two po-
lice officers Sunday night. all as yet
proving devoid of results. The Off
GERS did not get very active until late
yesterday afternoon, when number OF
men were hastened To the vicinity of
Loveland, where a farmer reported
having seen suspect at his place.
Belief is still strong in the public
mind that the man has actually been
caught, and that he is now being care
fully guarded in some Jail in an adjoin
ing county. This was strengthened
by the apparent inactivity of the Off
GERS during the greater part of yes
terday and today.
If the man has not been caught
opinion is general that he never will
be, and that the assassin has made
good his escape. The blood hounds

the posse over a large territory, zig
tagging over the farms, but that it was
on false trail is now generally con-
coded.

Cedar Rapids, July 31-Cedar Rapids
claims the youngest burglar III the
state of Iowa He is only years OF
age and when placed in the woman's
dormitory in the city Jail the tears
coursed down his grimy cheeks and
he cried:
"Oh. l want to go home; won't you
let me go home. I'll never so around
there any more. l promise you that
right now. Oh, please let me go home.
But he couldn't go home for tho he
is but a babe in years and size he had
been caught in the act of committing
burglary.
1t was some time after dusk and
officer W. f. Patterson had been out
with the city ambulance with Captain
McKernan. Returning to his beat he
walked up the alley between First and
Second avenues and Third and Second
streets and when he was passing the
rear of the ten cent store, he saw Il
small form climbing out of the vim
dow. In second he had the little
frightened form in his grasp.
The little fellow, who gives the
name Of Wesley Blood and says that
his parents live on B avenue, had
pulled an empty box to the rear of the
store, climbed upon it and broken the
wire screen and then had broken u
piece out of the glass window so that
he could put his arm thru and I'M
fasten the catch. That gave him &C
cess to the store and he had then
taken the pennies out of the stamp
drawer and the dimes nickles and
quarters which had oeen left in the
cash registers for change. He had
placed these in an old pocket book
which he said he had found at the rear
Of the store. When he saw the officer
coming, be laid the pocket book up on
the window ledge.
This is not the first time the store
has been robbed. One night last
week when the manager and clerks
opened the front door they saw
small boy going out Of one of the rear
windows The found that several
dollars had been taken that night. At
ter that the wire screens were put
over the windows at the rear and it
was one of these screens which the boy
broke last night. Iron bars will now
be put up.
"Oh, want to go home" sobbed the
little fellow from his cell; but the
officers told him he must be quiet or
they would have to turn out the light
in his cell and leave him in the dark
Soon his sobs ceased and he sank into
a troubled sleep The management Of
the store says that an example must
be made and announces a determine
ton to push the case.
