to Escape
-


One Of the numerous robberies Of
the past week occurred last night at
the Conrad rooming house on East
Kansas Ave, where the rooms Of Mrs.
Ada Riddle and Mr. strickler were en-
tered at 3 O'Clock this morning,
Mrs. Riddle who is head trimmer
at Miss Rouleau's, said she did not
awake until she heard Mr. strickler
whose room was across the hall from
her own, yelling at someone. She then
got up and fond her own room had
been entered. and a gold watch, worth
about SIS had been taken off her
dresser. Her purse had also been
opened but was left near the door
with nothing missing.
From Mr.. Strickler the thief got So
cents which he found on his bureau.
Mr.. Strickler awakened and started
for the thief, chasing him down the
hall and missing him by only few
inches. The man, whom he saw was
a negro and he ran out the front door
which was unlocked, and not being
suitably dressed, Mr.. strickler did
not follow him.
The negro was not a very discern
ing thief as he left diamonds and 9th,
er iewelry lying loose on Mrs. Rid
dies dresser, worth more than the
watch.

POLITICS AT The CITY HALL
Two Counoilmen Are Already After
Cooley Brucker's Job.

BerkR Says the Job Was Promised to
Him by the Combination and
Burmester IL i'm a Recep-
tive Mood.

Some one forgot to oil the cogs in the
combination which has been dominating
the city council since the reorganization
one year ago Consequently a split is
imminent and unless the six republicans
and three insurgent democrats can get
together, the stand patters are liable to
have an inning.
Though politics were avoided in the
main at the Brucker banquet Thursday
night It developed that the combination is
split on the election of a successor to
Cooley Brucker, whose term as president
OF the city council expires next month
Judge Louis Berka is a pronounced
candidate to succeed Brucker and Louis
Burmester, former president Of the council
is a receptive candidate. But Burmester's
receptiveness has extended TO such a point
that he is active in his own behalf
And that has occasioned the split Berka
has following Of five while Burmester
has lined up four.
Berka contends that he was promised
the place when the combination put
Brucker over as president. Other mem
bers declare that the place was promised
to some republican member Of the council
