A thief sometime last night entered

by the family returning, the intruder
is supposed to have secreted himself
until everybody retired. when he re-
sumed his search. Nothing was taken.
however. as the thief made n noise
which aroused Mr.. Durham before
getting away with valuallles.
Mr. and Mrs. Durham had gone out
for the evening for a social engage
ment, and upon their return shortly
before midnight they were surprised
TO find all the lights down stairs burn
ing brightly The lights had been
turned down before Mr.. and Mrs.
Durham left earlier in the evening
and they were surprised 10 find them
burning upon their return. AS moth
ing apparently had been disturbed
about the house the incident was dis
missed, and after turning out the
lights the family retired.
Heard the Bruslar
Sometime early this morning Mr..
Durham heard a suspicious noise down
stairs and he started down TO investi-
gate He found the lights burning
brightly again, and knew that some
thing was wrong,
Investigation showed that a search
had been made of the sideboard, draw
ers Of which had been opened and
ransacked. In fact, the intruder had
gone carefully through the lower part
of the house. He evidently was after
money, as silverware and other valu-
ables had not been taken. SO far as
Mr.. Durham could learn nothing had
been stolen. It is supposed the burglar
was frightened away before he could
get his plunder together.
It is thought that the thief was in
the house when Mr. and Mrs. Dunham
returned. and that he did not have
time TO turn out the lights. but hid
somewhere until the family went up
stairs when he renewed his search.
