.WOMAN'S QUICK WIT
RUNS AWAY ROBBERS
UNARMED, SHE SCARES BUR-
GLARS FROM HOUSE
Awakes to Find Men with Flashlights
Searching Room-CaIIs on Them
to Surrender-They
Flee

Mrs. Fanchon Rice 1907 South Fig
ueroa street. by her courage and pres
ence of mind outwitted two burglars
early yesterday morning while they
were attempting to ransack her home,
and saved money and valuables ag-
gregating more than $4,000.
Her son, Frank Rice, who occupies
an adjoining room, was awakened by a
slight noise. He raised himself on his
elbow and peered about the room and
saw two men with flashlights search
ing the room. He whistled and called
to his mother, who sprang from her
bed. and, rushing into the hall, turned
on an electric light. She was unarmed,
but advanced toward the two men and
called upon them to surrender. They
became frightened and hurried from the
room, leaping from a window, and
escaped.
Mrs. Rice said one of the burglars
was a negro and the other a white man.
She gave the police a good description
of both.
While the men were leaving, Mrs.
Rice became frightened and called to
the thieves that they could have all of
her jewels if they would not harm any
of the occupants of the house. The men
thought she was sarcastic and hurried
faster than ever.
Mrs. Rice occupies the north half of
the house, the other part bein- occupied
by Mrs. Leah ]. Seeley, who was wear
ing diamonds valued at several thou
sand dollars and had a draft for $500
secreted in a waste basket. Had not
the men been frightened away 1t is
probable they would have secured much
plumber
Investigation revealed that nothing
had been taken from the house.
An open front door tempted a bur
glar to enter the home of f. Weincheni-
off, 116 East Washington street, Mon
day morning, and take two watches, a
pair of plain gold earrings and
brooch.
F. E. Kierscey, 1918 Hobson street, re-
ported that his home was entered early
Monday morning and a woman's watch
and neck chain were stolen.

Mrs. Hodgson and Bob visited the

On their return they visited The Her

the dog editor. Then he walked over
