They say that in the near future wo-
man will approach the capabilities of
man not only in mental powers. but
in physical strength, and that the
weak. puny, dependent woman con-
tent to wait by the fireside for the
masculine protector is disappearing
rapidly. and in her place a virile, ro-

TRAP SET FOR HIM BY FIRM?
Detected i'm Systematic Thefts from
Several Departments of store

The firm Of Young & McCombs has
been noticing for some time that
articles of value were being pilfered
from the jewelry and gents furnish
ings departments and of late they de-
cided 10 take steps TO catch the thief.
\ careful investigation was made
and suspicion was turned on Fred
Irwin, one of the two night watchmen
employed by the firm. Irwin was
watched closely for a time until the
firm was sure that he was the guilty
party and then trap was laid for
him and he walked into IL very
blindly with the result that he was
arrested last night:
Liked Fancy socks Etc.
Twins taste seemed TO run to-
wards articles Of jewelry. fancy
socks, handkerchiefs. ties. and the
like. His position as night watch
man gave him access to the different
counters and the temptation was too
much for him TO resist and he fell.
He began by taking just one little
article at a time. but his continued
success emboldened him and he was
helping himself pretty freely when he
was finally caught Just what the
value of the stolen articles amounts
to is not stated by the firm. but IL
is a goodly sum. The larceny charge
on which Irwin was arrested will be
pressed and an attempt will be made
to make an example Of him. Irwin
lives at 1407 Sixth avenue.

lneendarism Suspected =

An unoccupied house owned by John
Denney, and located on First street,
was partially destroyed by fire at Ma
nistique at midnight Saturday night.
The owner had recently moved out and
was planning to rent the property.
Owing To the fact that no one was
living in the residence IL IL presumed
that someone started the blaze. The
building was insured for 5000. and 1t
is thought that this amount will cover
the loss. Mike osterberg first saw
the blaze and ran to the st. James
Hotel and sent in an alarm. For some
reason the fire department was not
promptly notified and IL was twenty
minutes or more before the firemen
were at the scene.
