by the Butte police the officers are GER
tain that they have the ring-leader of d
gang off crooks whose operations, ex-
tending from st. Paul to Seattle, have
been on a larger scale than the opera

numerous burglaries and robberies In

New York, Nov. 9.-With the ray of
burglar g lantern shining in their eyes
and two revolvers held by masked men

family of Charles E. Tayntor, a wealthy |
granite dealer, lay in bed in the Tayn-

for more than an hour Sunday morning
while a third masked burglar piled up
$4,000 worth of jewelry and silverware
Then the burglars bound Mr.. Tayntor
hand and foot and escaped with their
booty.
The burglary was most daring and
Mr.. Tayntor is convinced that the rob-

to bedroom on the second floor occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. Tayntor and one
OF the bur glars struck Mr.. Tayntor 9

jack as he lay asleep. The blow stunned
him, and few minutes later, when Mr.
Tayntor recovered his senses, he found
three revolvers leveled at him
Mr.. and Mrs Tayntor were made b
sit up in bed, and two of the burglar
held them covered while third began
search of the room. The noise awakene'
Miss Tayntor, the 15-year-old daughte
of the granite dealer, and she came int
tho room crying. The burglars ordere
her into bed with her parents and tn
child obeyed. A moment later Charlie
: Tayntor, aged 8, and Harold, ~, cam
into the room. They were made to s.
upon the side of the bed.
Oh They Left Wedding Rings.
