BURGLARY
It The Fulton Residence At
Newark
Much Valuable JeweIfy Was
Taken

Newark, o., Oct. 29-About 2:45
this morning the residence of Rep
resentative w. d. Fulton at Sixth and
Church streets, was broken into by
burglars, who ransacked the house
and stole about $3.50 worth of dia-
monds and jewelry. They were inter-
rupted in their work by Miss Bertha
Fulton, who awakened and frightened
them away. There is no clue. When
seen this morning Mr.. Fulton de-
scribed as best he could under the cir
cumstances, having been asleep him
self until after the whole affair had
ended. He said that the burglar
forced an entrance through rear
window on the lower floor. having
pried 1t open.
The entire family was, of course,
sound asleep and the burglar stealthi-
ly sneaked through the house, entered
the rooms of Miss Bertha and Miss
Martha. He secured diamond ring
from each youg lady's dresser draw
ers. The rings were highly valued as
keepsakes, having been given them by
their father as graduation presents.
He took also an old watch belonging
to Miss Bertha and another diamond
ring, two fraternity pins, two brace
lets and several other rings.
While the burglar, for so far as is
known there was only one in the
house at least, was walking around
Miss Bertha was awakened, notwith-
standing the burglar was treading
very softly over the floor. She arose
in her bed and called to know who
was there, when she was startled to
hear hurried patter of feet down the
back stairs. She arose and ran as
quickly as she could in the direction
of the noise, but not in time to get
only slight view of the fleeing burg
lar.
| She quickly aroused others OF the
family and the police were phoned
Captain Swank and several officers
hurried to the scene but all was over
and these is not the slightest indi
cation as to who the robber or rob
bers were.
Mr.. Fulton further stated that while
it is his custom not to carry or keeI
much money with him or in the house
yet a collection yesterday was made
too late to bank and there was con
siderable money in the pocket of his
trousers, which hung on the wall, and
he is certain that had it not been fol
his daughter awakening that the loss
would have been much heavier.

MT. VERNON
Men Make Good Showing In
Boxing Bouts
Held In Utica On Saturday
Evening

The boxing show pulled OF at Utica
Saturday evening was success as far
as the two Mt. Vernon men involved
we're concerned. All of the bouts
were interesting, the first preliminary
being wrestling match between Sail
or Dick and Phil Governs Of Colum
bus. The second was boxing match
between Sam Merkle and Billy Myers
OF Columbus.
The Semi.windup was between
George Dunn of Mt. Vernon and Eddie
Lacrosse OF Cleveland. Dunn scored
knockout in the fourth round, win
ming over his man easily.
The wind-up was a scheduled eight
round go between Jimmy Kinnard of
st. Paul and Young Kid Mccoy" of
Mt. Vernon. The Utica authorities
would only allow the fight to be of
six rounds duration but it was a good
one as long as 1t lasted The bout
was declared draw although the st.
Paul Fighter had shade over his Mt.
Vernon opponent. The Mt. Vernon
man in the last bout was kid" Alien

KENYON LOST
To Case At Cleveland On Saturday
Afternoon

Cleveland, Oct. 23-Case played real
football Saturday against Kenyon and
piled up score of 26 to 5. The Ken
yon men never had chance against
the winners and the fact that they
scored at oil was due to Carr's quick
ness In grabbing Case tumble and
sprinting 70 yards for q touchdown.
Outside of that streak of luck which
resulted in their only score, the down,
staters were about as fortunate as
the 18th son on Friday, the 18th. Case
Just reveled in Dame Fortunes smiles.
The breaks of luck made Case look
exceptionally good but the Scientists
showed enough clean football to place
them far above their opponents from
the little downstate town. Their play
ing was revelation to those who
have been following Coach Scott's
men since the season opened.
Scott evidently had instructed Capt.
Roby to keep hammering away with
straight plays and rely on a kicking
game. Few forward passes or tricks
or any kind were called by the Case
quarter.
Plucky little Kenyon, that is what
the Gambler players have been called
because of their performances Of the
past, and they lived right up to their
name Saturday. In the face Of defeat
they played just as hard as they did
