INFORMS JUDGE HOW

BAD BURGLARS

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Mrs.
Freda Jacobs. who has caught
more burglars than any other
woman on record in New York, ex-
planned to Magistrate Cornell her
methods OF taking prisoners. Mrs.
Jacobs said:
Il have caught four of them in
the last three weeks and l have
caught each of them in the same
way. To begin with. a burglar is
more frightened than the people
whose property he is stealing. The
owners Of the property may forget
this, but always remember it. So,

house | shout at him and startle

till a policeman comes.

A MASTERPIECE AT oRPHEuM


/ A true masterpiece is presented
at the Orpheum theater this week.
1t is written by a master at the
art, and is presented by IL master
actors. The little play costs for
tune to maintain, but it gets the
crowds and the applause. "Circum-
stantial Evidence" is the title. A
jury room scene is presented, with
the IL jurors sitting around, sing
ing and playing cards. From the
talk it develops that II are in ia
vor of conviction in the murder
case and one holds out for ac-
quittal. Every effort is made to
induce this one to join the rest, but
he is firm in his stand. During
the argument message is sent in,
announcing that the wife Of this
man is dead. Give. us 10 min
utes MORE" he says to the court
messenger, land we will return a
verdict" Then he turns to his
brother jurors and gives the real
reason why he held for acquittal.
He proves the prisoners inno-
csace and convicts of the crime
but go and see the thrilling climax
yourself. It's great stuff.
Nearly every number. on the pro-
gram Is excellent. The Billiken
Freshman" is the real goods.
Hprightly and clever and finished
in style. And Montrell's sleight OF
hand work with the flaming torch
es is the best seen in that line.

William Berol. IN which little black

funny bone of all who see 1t. The
act is a rival for popularity with

keeps the gallery kids bowling
with merriment like that that
greets the circus clown, for he is
really funny. The Miskel-Hunt-

and an imitation of a darkey trio is
especially good. Montague's Com

Livingston was delegated to come &c
Denver and continue the search. There
he learned that the last ticket coupon
returned had been punched at Salida.
When he reached Salida he heard of
the finding of the body near Minturn
