Owing to the fact that the handle

Is centrally disposed, single person
can occupy only one-half OF the space
beneath the umbrella, with the re-
suit that his outer shoulder is usually
exposed to the drip and rain. To
remedy this defect, two inventors of

umbrella which when raised will have

Prepare to Make Getaway.

From Saturdays Daily. T.. ..G". 4s
AL Campbell, formerly cook at the
Boykin hotel, was arrested by Oflcer
Pat Bake last night on charge Of
burglarizing the Gold Dust saloon on
Minnesota avenue some time Thurs
day night. The burglary was, discov-
cred BY one Of the proprietors early
yesterday morning and the police
were notified soon after.
The burglar gained entrance to the
saloon through one OF the back swim
dows, me of the panes Of glass in
which was broken in effecting an en-
trance. The visitor secured $50 which
had been secreted by the bartender
under the bar when he closed up the
place late Thursday night.
As Campbell had been loatlng
around the saloon for several days
and was present when the money was
secreted he was at once suspected
when the crime was discovered.
When he ros yesterday morning
and left his roo at the Stockwell
house one of Chief Talgo's plain
clothes" men took up his trail to as
certain II possible If Campbell would
spend any money as he was known to
be without funds before the burglary.
Says He Will Plead Guilty.
The plain clothes man followed
Campbell around yesterday afternoon,
drinking with him in the various sa-
looms but up until supper time Camp
bell did not exhibit any money.
About 8 o'clock last night he, start
ed changing silver for currency and
making preparations to leave the city.
He paid the drayman and a number of
small bills with 5 and 10cent pieces
and changed thirty or forty dollars in
silver for currency at the Owl saloon.
Soon after this he was arrested.
The money stolen from the saloon
for the greater part was silver, there
being but one bill. This coupled with
the fact that Campbell was changing
silver for currency and was known tn
have been "broke' before the bur-
glary, lead the officers to believe that
he committed the crime and after he
was "sweated" for some time at the
police station it is said that he told

waiting for a trial and that he would
