CHOKE DOCTOR'S WIFE.
BURGLARS Then Rob Ne1C Rochelle
HOme-HOld Pursuers at Bay.

Two desperate burglars were surprised while
at work last night in the home of DR.. George
A Lyons, at No. 46 Bank street. New Rochelle.
After pointing a revolver at Mrs. Lyons's head
and threatening to blow her brains out If she
made an outcry. they choked her into insen-
sibility and escaped with a suitcase of booty,
valued at several thousand dollars.
Neighbors who saw the men fleeing gave
chase. When closely pursued the burglars
turned on the crowd and held it at bay with
their guns. The crowd gave up the chase Po-
lice Chief Timmins, who has received a good
description of the men, has sent out general
alarm to the police of New York and Westches-
ter County
Mrs Lyons was revived by servants, and
aside from suffering from a severe nervous
shock she is all right. Her throat is marked
where the burglars fingers sank into it.
Besides taking the family jewelry and silver
ware, the burglars got a choice collection or
gold and silver coins of every country IN
the world. DR.. Lyons has been saving this COL
lection for over thirty years and valued 1t
highly
A gang of burglars have been operating with
marked success throughout Westchester County
during the last few months.

Japs," For a time matters had an ugly look. but
a riot call brought a score of policemen rein

The whole trouble was caused when the
Southern Pacific discharged number of white
laborers from its icehOuse here and employed
japanese In their places. This incensed the
white men, and local labor bodies met and de-
nounced the railroad company for d1splactng
white labor with coolies
The trouble eliminated tonight. After the
white mob had been dispersed the police found
the Japanese arming and talking excitedly of
attacking the whites. The police arrested one
man who seemed to be their leader, and put him
in iail The railroad company has agreed TO

General Ellis.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 3-Wade H. Ellis, At

Husbands form one Of our chief as

treatment, become Injured early ip life

parties and political gatherings.
The American variety differs from
the foreign breeds in many important
particulars. He is more easily domes-
ticcted and stands any amount OF
abuse without complaint. There are
several instances on record where
husbands have slept night after night

because the Democratic leaders have

Secondly, that the hope OF the

not enough money to give shelter to
these unfortunate men. II a part OF
this big amount OF money was spent
