POLICE CAPTURE BURGLAR
 WHO ENTERED DRUG STORE
Peter, Smith Has Confessed to Doing the Job and the Goods Have Been Recovered.

Soon after o'clock Thursday morn ing the young man who broke into Sevin's drug store at midnight was in the hands of the police. Before he knew anything of the break and just as the young man was walking down Church street from the drug store. Policeman Driscoll met him and walk ed down the street with him. He noticed nothing unusual about him or that he seemed to be carrying any of the articles. However when he was informed of the break, he at once mis- trusted the young man he had been talking with. He had a description of him, particularly of his headgear and when this had been reported by him and what he had said about where he had been that evening, it was learned by Captain Linton that it was Pete the Pole who had been seen in Church street, and suspicion was directed against him. The search for him was at once started.
 When informed of the circumstances of the case, Chief Murphy. who knew Pete, whose name is Peter Smith, or Gerish, directed that the home of the young man be searched. The fellow was found in bed and taken to the police station and a search of the rooms revealed the stolen property in uIcoS 5u1l GhSSs NAhoA phy hdN been asked to look after the fellow, who is wanted in another place, and will probably be secured after he serves times for the local offence.
 To Chief Murphy the young man confessed the entire affair. He had been seen standing near the alleyway by residents of the adjoining building late Wednesday night. The police de- serve much praise for the quick cap ture.
 In the city court Thursday morn- ing the case was continued until Mon day under $500 bond. The accused is 19 years old and has traveled exten- sively. having been to the Pacific coast He lived in High street near Lanman's lane.
 On Church street he dropped and smashed bottle of perfemery, more perfumery was left on Washington square, and some tooth brushes and cigars were dropped at Thames square
 Just after making the break the fel- low was approaching Policeman Dris coll on Church street, and was at some distance when the officer saw him drop a bottle and heard 1t break. When they met the policeman asked him what he had dropped and the man muttered something about whiskey. He was forced to go back and kick the broken bottle off the sidewalk, be- fore he continued on his way. Later it was found to be perfumery and this strengthened the clue.
