With the hind wheel riddled with bull lets they persisted in mad flight which every moment threatened to land the party in the ditch. Defying the officer riding iEnn nediate1y along side to capture him, it was only with the muzzle of the still smoking re- volver within a, few feet of his head that Santanillo finally consented to bring the car to a standstill

 Shouting unheeded warnings the officer almost alongside the car drew his gun and as the occupants laughed he fired. The shot took effect in a spoke.

BURGLARS WITH
 TASTE FOR NOVEL:
 ROB MRS. BOWER
Robbery Discovered by Mir Bower When He Opens
 Store Sunday Morning

I.,e latest and most sensational robbery of series which has sorely' puzzled the police took place, late Saturday night, when Jewelry valued at nearly $500 was stolen from the ington Road. That the thieves were not Of the ordinary kind, but had a keen appreciation for antiques, is be- investigating the matter, as they find that copies of local Bridgeport publi- cations, dated 1878, as well as sou venir coins of the Columbia exposition were taken along with the loot.
 A list of the missing iewelry in c1udes:
 One diamond breast pin, containing nine large stones. with gold chain, value at $175.
 One diamond ring, valued s125.
 One diamond ring, valued at s25.
 -'ne gold bracelet, valued at $50.
 I'm ee silver hasf-doIllrs. dated 1359.
 INhr, e baby rings.
 Goods to the vaiEe of s35 and S15 in cash, is also alleged by Mrs. Myra Bower, who keep a grocery store at that address, to have been taken
 Entrance was effected by the inser- of a rear window and the forcing of latch. Crawling through the win dow, the thieves apparently without fearing detection through the front window, proceeded to rifle the draw ers desks, and repositories with the utmost care, Articles were thrown p1ec0 py piece upon the flOOr, as by someone searching for object. A desk was broken open and it's inner drawers rifled piece by piece. In this desk a bag containing the jewe1ry had been placed for safe keeping by Mrs. Bower. early in the evening before closing the store at Ii o'clock and retiring to her apartments above.
 A cherished copy of a local Bridge port evening paper of 1878 was kept in drawer, together with two Co., lunlbfan haIf-dollars and three others dated in 1859- These were carefully without interfering with the rest of the receptacIe's contents. The cash-draWer, forced was emptied of S15 in bills and coin.
 The robbery was discovered by Mr Bower when he opened the store about o'clock Sunday morning. The floor was streWn with boxes torn from their shelves. cases were open and the rear door unlocked. showing that the thieves had left in that man her, although their entrance was through the window
 A somewhat similar robbery was made into the grocery store conducted by J. F. O'Locklin, 1887 Stratford avenue, last Friday night, in which but S3.50 in cash and some eatabIes were obtained. Three boys arrested upon suspicion for being connected with the break are still held at police headquarters for investigation.

NEW YORK, oct AT National

But the New York fans seem to
be tired or something else is wrong
with the whole situation.
It's fact, however, that the box

other sports, needs to be rested up
for a time. The promoters there
have been running 1t summer and

that even the most attractive of

haps the loss of interest in
the boxing game, now so no
ticeable in New York contests may
be traced to the no. decision system
that prevails there.
The system gives the fighters
plenty of leeway. There is little
chance for a dent in regulations if
a man can stick the ten rounds and
there is a good chance that a
friendly critic or two might be
induced to give him an even
break thus enhancing his chances
Of getting other bouts.
There is a false ring about the
whole thing that isn't pleasing.
In bouts where decisions are Civ
en- it is an absolute certainty that
the fighters will do their level best.
Knowing that the contest is to go
to referees decision, the fans
naturally will feel more concern
and interest in such meeting
than they would in a contest in
which they feel that one man could
stall pretty much all the way
through without seriously hurting
his reputation.

That is the reason that ! place so

That means that the New York
