A burglar entered and attempted to rob
the residence of Miss Emma Cash, who
keeps grocery store and resides on the
premises on Mary street, Bordentown, at
an early hour Saturday morning. After
entering the house he at once commenced
to search for valuables. He had made
to carry away some wearing
apparel, which was found lying on a bed
In one of the rooms. He was heard NOV
Ing about In room occupied by Miss
Cash, who at once raised a window and
cried loudly for help, which brought
number of neighbors to her rescue. As
soon as the burglar found that he had
been discovered, he made his way down
to the lower floor and escaped by a win
dow on Mary street. How he got into
the house Is not known, but it is thought
he entered by the window of bedroom
which was occupied by young woman
Lying with Miss Gaah, which was partly
raised. 1t is evident that he climbed on
a small portico to get In. Miss Cash saw
the man when he climbed out OF the win
dow to the street, and described him as
wearing black derby hat and dressed In
light clothing, wearing an overcoat, and
in his hand he carried what resembled
piece of iron pipe or rubber hose. 1t was
said there was an odor of chloroform In
the house, but this could not be verified.
The matter was reported to Chief of Po-
lice Thorn, who will make an effort to
find the man.
