FUNSTON DUELS WITH
BURGLAR IN DARK ROOM

Leavenworth, Kan.-Brigadier-
eral Frederick Funston, commandant
of the Army Service School at Fort
Leavenworth, engaged in revolver
fight with a supposed burglar in his
quarters at the post early today. The
man escaped, and General Funston
was unharmed.
General Funston had retired late,
and remained awake. He had been in
bed perhaps an hour, when a closet
door opened and a man stepped forth.
The General saw him and reached un-
der a pillow for gun.
The intruder saw the motion and
fired. The bullet pierced the mattress
near the General, who leaped to his
feet. He turned on the lights, and
fired three shots at the man as he
fled.
General Funston was in his library
until about midnight, but the house is
so large that man could easily
sneak in without being detected.
Mrs. Funston is visiting in Califor-
mia at present and General Funston
was alone in the big house, except for
two Filipino servants sleeping in an
other part of the building. General
Funston said the attack on him was
so sudden that he felt nervous all day.
The burglar did not get any money
or valuables.
