the alarm and noted that it was regis

room. where the wealthiest boy in the
world was asleep.
He aroused Mr.. Mclean. who found
the northeast window open. Stepping
out upon the balcony he saw a man
running off into the woods on the John
l. Kane estate. He fired three shots at
the man, and Blake, who had also seen
the man running for cover. Joined in

but no clue was found. Every effort
has been made to discover the burglar.
who undoubtedly was bent on kidnap-
the grandson Of John r. Mclean and
of the late millionaire mine owner,
Thomas F. Walsh.
Every Precaution Taken.
Mr. Mclean has taken every precau-
ton to guard against a possible kidnap-
ing of the boy, and several watchmen
are constantly On duty. The attempt
made this morning is a severe shock to
Mrs. Mclean. who, it is said. has not
since left her room. Every effort was
made to keep the frustrated night visit
a secret, but the story Of the affair came
out today.
THE police are on the lookout for a
suspicious-looking character seen about
the Mclean estate for the past day or
two and who is now missing.
MIR. McLeans aim necessarily was
hastily taken, as the man was running
fast and it was yet dark. Blake was
nearer. but the runaway lodged among
the trees just as the Waterman reached
the veranda. Blake Is of the opinion
that one of Mr.. McLeans bullets found
its mark.
THE burglar alarm is tested often and
the intruder would probably have &C
complished his purpose if the alarm had
not sounded as he raised the window
