STRANGE
What Some Men VIII Do For
Drink Of Whisky
Police RepOrt. A Strange
Case Saturday Night

1T is strange what some fellows
will do when they yapt drink of
whisky" remarked Chief Clements to-
day. On last Saturday night Officers
Alsdorf and George noticed two local
fellows, who like the red stuff, acting
very strangely, and. upon watching
them little more they saw one of
the fellows go into q drug store and
in a short time he game out, so the
officers followed them and found them
with bottle from which they had
been drinking. They made o little fur
ther investigation and found that the
bottle contained Is cents worth of
whisky, 10 cents worth of glycerine
and cents worth Of rock candy. The
officers brought these two men to the
Office of the chief, where they were
confronted by the chief and asked
what they are doing. They said that
they both had very bad, colds and were
trying to cure them. They were told
to go home and cure their colds with
the proper kind of medicine.

SHOOTS
At A Burglar Does T. T.
Mykrantz In Columbus
columbus Journall

When II. Il. Mykrantz, South High
street druggist, shot at supposed
burglar, whose head he saw thrust
around the corner of his house at 751
East Broad street early yesterday
morning, the man coughed apologeti-
cally, as though politely concerned be-
cause the druggist had missed his aim.
The coolness of the burgIar---if burg
lar he was--went even further, for
he later got into the house and left his
hat and overcoat ON the dining room
table. When he went out he took Mr..
Mykrantz's hat with him.
Mr. Mykrantz heard the man on the
back porch at o'clock. He raised his
bedroom window and ordered him
away.
The intruder made no reply, and
when Mr.. Mykrantz looked out few
minutes later and saw he had returned
he shot at him.
Believing he had frightened the man
away, the druggist went to bed and
slept until nearly daylight, when he
woke to hear the front door slam be-
hind the departing man. He ran down
stairs and found the hat, overcoat and
bottle of whisky on the dining room
table. In the pocket of the overcoat
was $40 In bills.
The intruder probably got in
through the back door, and Mr.. My
krantz thinks it not unlikely that he
was some belated reveler who lives in
the neighborhood and who had entered
the wrong house by mistake.

BOYS
Who Stole Pigeons Made To
Return Them To Owner

officer Alsdorf received a call at
8 o'clock Sunday evening and when he
arrived at home in the west end Of
the city 1t was reported to him that
a number of pigeons had been stolen.
Discovering small footprints in the
snow, the officer followed these to a
nearby house. A woman who answer
ed the door, told the officer that she
had purchased the pigeons from two
small boys, less than 15 years of age,
The officer then sought the parents Of
the young boys and after some contro-
versy the boys reimbursed the wo-
man, who had purchased the pigeons.
The birds were then restored to the
rightful owner. The Juvenile officer
has been informed of the affair and
some further action may be taken in
the matter.
