MUST BE AMATEURS
The Home Of Nels Peterson 1922 Con-
cert s,,e.t Selected as the
Place For Their Crafty
Work.

II has lust come to light that keo-
kuk had case of purely amateur
burglary Friday night, or rather Sat
urday morning, at the family home
of Ne3s Peterson, 1422 Concert street.
The burglar or burglars showed evil
dence of being somewhat familiar
with the premises and the habits of
the family. Mr. Peterson is dairy
man. He left his home as usual about
8 o'clock in the morning Later.
about 1880 O'Clock as was their Gus
tom, other members of the family fol-
lowed him to the dairy. the wife be-
fore leaving for the dairy placing a
small sum of money under paper on
the sideboard. After these departures
there was nobody left at the home
but two daughters who are employ
ed in office or similar work in the city
and who sleep later.
1t is supposed that the burglars
were on the watch when the other
members of the family left and then
commenced their work. The two girls
remaining at home continued their
morning nap while the bad man or
men piled their avocation. Every
drawer in reach was opened and ran
sacked The side board contained
many articles Of value, including
some costly pieces of cut glass and
many table and other articles of sill
verware. In vases and cups on the
sideboard quite a quantity of jewel
ry belonging to the young ladies had
been left. All these would have mad J
fairly rich haul for an hours night
work.
But the early morning purloiners
took none of these, except the small
amount of money Mrs. Peterson had
| left on the sideboard in the early
morning before her departure, umler
paper on the sideboard.
On the evening before. the Peter
sons had banked a sum of money, anc
the burglars may have been after this
sum. but waited a day too long. Last
spring the James Leffingwell residence
/ at 1914 Concert street, only few
doors from the Peterson home wat
entered and ransacked in the same
way and finding no money, the bat
men left empty handed.

A portrayal of Charles Dickens
famous novel by Edison's own COM
pany This picture enjoyed rather
unique position among Edison's photo
plays, because of the fact that 1t has
already been released several months
in England, as 1t was especially pre-
pared for the Dickens Centenary. 1t
was wonderful success and received
very enthusiastic praise from the
British press and winning a hearty
support of the Dickens Fellowship, for
whom it was made and from whom a
permit was obtained to release 1t in
this country last week. 1t comes to
the Grand, as all pictures do, while it
is fresh and new, which insures the
patrons of the Grand the worlds best
productions.
Pictures Of this kind make better
men and women of us all. 1t will de-
light all with sacred thoughts of the
beautiful and inspire the minds of the

all. He never murmured at his
lot, but was long suffering ard
enduring. These points and
many more were related by the
several Of his friends who spoke
