DR.. c. w. Bandy, who rooms at the
Carlson residence, but DR.. Bandy did
not discover for two hours that he had
unconsciously been the means of saw
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson from moro
serious loss. 1t is presumed that the
burglar did not get farther along in

entered the second story by way of the
roof of the back porch, and that he
proceeded down stairs and opened 4
sitting room window to insure means
of exit He was ransacking a combin-
alton writing desk and bookcase when
interrupted. A derby hat was lost by
the burglar in his flight, having been
brushed off under cherry tree. The
