tempt to loofth house during the absence
OF the family, two young men were dlscov-
cred yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
Amid wild excitement which completely de-
stroyed the quiet OF that portion of the city,
they were chased south to the Twenty
fourth street viaduct, where they became
lost to their pursuers and escaped. An
emergency call was sent to the station and
the police machine, with Officers Wander
ford, Leahy and Detective Fleming, rushed
to the scene where they worked for some
time, but were unable TO locate the men.
Entrance was made to the house through

and fled, leaving dice and scraps OF lunch
behind. This made 1t impossible for the
police to tell at times whether they were
after the burglars or simply chasing
tramps.
As far as is known the burglary was un-
successful and nothing Is thought to have
been taken. The Woodroughs for a short
time have been camping ut the Young
Mems Christian association park at Carter
lake, and 1t is thought that this was known
by the daylight burglars.

gathered into heap, and. kneeling
in big circle around this. the fresh
men are obliged to go through some
