Fear Burglars: Real Heroes.

SUNDAY d1lcI0OOH MI 4NOIdA anu IAN
lily of 1896 Ontario avenue went for
car ride on the new K. & E. railway.
On returning home about p. m. they
were surprised to see all the window
shades down and behind them could
be seen the lights burning. AS Mr.
Nolan has no relatives in Hegewisch,
there was only one conclusion to be ar
rived at and that was that there were
burglars in the house. Taking his fam
lily across the street to the house of his
friend Mr.. Tom Pryor, he told him of
the circumstances. Mr.. Pryor aroused
Mr.. William Boyle. who had retireed
for the night, and arming themselves
they went forth. Mr. Boyle guarded
the front of the house. while Mr. Nolan
and Mr. Pryor went to the rear. They
could hear some one moving about in
the house. and Mr.. Pryor sent Mr. Mo-
Ian to the front for Mr.. Boyle and his
gun. Mr.. Boyle fastened to the rear
and throwing open the door demanded,
Who is in there" Mr. Nolan's brother
in-law and his wife were busily prepar-
ing supper. having come out from the
city to visit and were not going home
hungry. Everyone had a hearty laugh,
and Mr. Pryor and Mr. Boyle hurriedly
retreated. Mr. Nolan will not allow any
one to say that the joke was on them.
Everything pointed to the fact that
they had burglars to deal with. Mr..
Nolan cannot speak too highly of Mr..
Pryor and Mr. Boyle readiness to as
sist him in the face of such danger.
