DARING BURGLARY.

Mother and Then Falls Asleep.
$50 Taken From Another House.

Burlington, June 25.-The most
daring of all in a series of burglar
les which have alarmed this city for
the past three weeks. and have Daf-
fed the police, occurred Wednesday
night, when the Unitarian parsonage
occupied by Rev. c. j. Staples and
family, was ransacked.
The burglar entered the house by
a first-foor window, left guarded
only by a screen on account OF the
hot weather. In the front room he
and went through every room in
the house, not excepting those oc-
cupied by the slumbering family.
AS the intruder came into the
room of Mr.. and Mrs. Staples the
latter was half awake and saw him
Thinking 1t was her mother she ad-
dressed him as such and went to
sleep again. The burglar finished
his search of the room and then re-
turned to the first floor.
Yesterday morning it was found
that the man had taken several val
liable articles of silver and three
waistcoats, the contents of which he
extracted, leaving the empty gar
ments on the lawn. The most val
liable article taken was a gold watch
of unique design, valued also for its
associations.
The candle, almost burned up, was
discovered on the lawn, showing
that the man had remained in the
house for a considerable time.
The home of D. j. Bond ON
Loomis street was also entered We'd
nesday night, the theft getting about
500 in money and other articles of
value.

Arthur McJerritt when he was
knocked down by team driven by
H. G. Stranahan Monday morning
about SIS. The boy, who lives on
East State street and plays in the
road large part of the time along
with several other children from
that section, ran out upon Main
street just as Mr.. Stranahan drove
past with his team, the horse trot-
ting along at reasonably fast clip,
The front wheel struck the lad in
the chest, throwing him to one side
so that he was not run over. Mr..
Stranahan stopped the horse almost
instantly and jumping down, picked
up the boy and carried him to the
office of DR.. Templeton where he
was examined for broken bones.
None were found, although some
bruises and Commissions were dis
covered on his limbs and arms,
while a small piece OF skin was
missing from his chin. He was
more scared than injured, and az
ter becoming quieter was carried
home.
AT about o'clock Monday a m,
the young grandson of William
Hornbrook fell out of a team at
the corner of Main and State streets
striking on his head on the side of
the street crossing. There were
three children in the team along
and Mr.. Hornbrook was on the side
walk. In some manner one of the
children slipped and fell cutting his
forehead and scraping the side of
his face. The child was bleeding
badly and was Immediately taken to
DR.. J. H. Grimes office where the
child was examined. The child
was more frightened than hurt.
One of the other children immedi-
ately began to sympathize with his
brother by crying.
