them. and that they had no official
knowledge of such q move. DR..

FIRE DESTROYS
HIS WARDROBE
Ernest BoIlschweiIar, Nephew
Of Sheriff, Suffers Loss
of About $100.
CIGAR BUTT LIKELY CAUSE
Room at AZ Smith Street Is
Gutted by Flames Dur
inq His Absence.

The wardrobe Of Ernest Bollsch-
weller, nephew of Sheriff Bollsch-
weller, of AZ Smith street was par
TALLY destroyed by fire yesterday af-
ternoon. The origin of the fire
could not be learned, but butt of a
cigar lying on the bureau in which
his clothing was burned, may have
caused the confagration. The dam
age amounted to about 500.
Mr.. Bollschweiler left his room
shortly after / o'clock, and the fire
was discovered at 1.30 by the ma
tron of the house, Mrs Nissen. who
smelling the smoke, traced 1t to the
room of the young man on the third
floor. Nicholas Ellis who lives on
the second floor, heard the woman
scream and turned In the alarm from
box at Smith and High streets.
Washington Hose and Chemical
Company was soon on the scene, and
had the fire, which was confined to
the bureau, under control by time
the Protection Hook and Ladder and
the Lincoln Engine companies ar
rived.
The bureau, was owned by Mrs.
G.. H. Clark, Of the Clark and Cutting
manicure parlors at SO Smith street,
who leases the top floor from DR..
Charles I. Silk, owner of the build
Ing. The furniture of the room was
covered by insurance. though Mr..
Boilschweiler carried none, and all
his shirts. collars and cravates in the
drawers OF the bureau were ruined
by the flames. Tie bureau was rem
dered useless by the flames. being
badly charred, though not entirely
consumed.
Mr.. Bollschweiier Is at loss to
know how the fire originated. One
theory is that hot ashes from the
cigar but found on tray on top of
the bureau may have dropped into
one OF the open drawers and set fire
to the clothing, as the blaze evident
ly started from the inside.

BANK MAY Get
A KANT STORE
Would Lease State Street
Front for Double Entrance.

The directors of the First National
Bank at 10 Smith street are con-
sidering the leasing Of the single
State street store in the new Kant
building. 1t Is thought the commit
tee, to whom the matter has been re-
ferred, will report on the project at
the meeting OF the directors Wednes-
day.
If the proposition is put through
the bank will only have to have a
doorway cut between their present
quarters and the new store in the
Kant building, which would make
their Offices one long hallway shaped
like an a." around the new struc-
ture with Smith street entrance as
at present and with the new State
street entrance in the Kan buildine
The addition would give the bank
nearly double its present floor space.

Collector White left city hall to
go to his home about s o'clock. As
he reached there he noticed a tall
man coming out Of side gates, which
were seldom used. His suspicious
were aroused and arming himself
with a club he hid in barn in the
rear OF his home. After some wait
he returned to his home and read
paper. Between that time and
about 8 o'clock. It is believed the
Durham house was robbed. To
some 1t has appeared that the burg
lars had intended to enter Mr..
Whites house and were frightened
away when he came home. Boldly,
they began operations next door and
robbed the Dunham home.
Mr.. Brimlow's home was probably
entered Immediately after the Dun
ham Job had been done. The occu-
pants were out from to 11.30
o'clock Saturday night. When they
returned a glance showed that the
| thrown about and matches Uttered
the floors In places. Here too, as in
the home of Sol. Rubenstein just
week previous, the robber feasted on
cake taken from Mr.. Brimlow's dim
ing closet. They must have been
eating as they were leaving and 60
ing to the Farroat house, for trail
of cake crumbs lead from the rear
of the Brimlow home across walk
to the northerly side of the Farroat
house. There O window was forced
open.
The Brimlow home was entered In
the same manner as was the home OF
e. f. Cristiani, about a block away
on January 6. The thieves climbed
up on rear kitchen extension and
! forced a secopd-story window open,
/ through which they entered. The
articles taken, besides about So in
cash, included the following: an opal
scarf pin, three pearl pins, an initial
scarf pin, two gold scarf clasps, set
of gold cuff buttons. a gold enamel
pin and several fratenal pins.
As Mr.. Brimlow was near his homo
! he noticed an automobile leaving
from the front OF the house. About
midnight as Patrolman Steed was
talking to Mr. Brimlow they saw an
automobile going by. Mr.. Brimlow
! shouted there they 60" The off,
Ger ordered the auto party to stop
and he says they put on more speed.
! He claims to have fired three shots
| in the air in an effort to frighten
them, but they only put on more
speed. He trailed them to Kearny
avenue where he learned the car was
I that Of Roy H. Rogers, of tb> Rogers
| Lumber Company. Mr. Ro IS told
him he had not understood what
he meant and therefore drove on.
| There is every indication that the
robberies are being committed by an
organized of well trained burglars,
They appear to be using good means
| to throw the police off their guard
and in nearly all cases have carried
out pre-arranged plans to perfec-
ton. They do their work during the
evening, particularly before mid
night when possible, thus throwing
off suspicion in case here they
might be seen at work. They choose
the time when the occupants OF the
house are away, usually at time
when neighbors would not become
suspicious should they see q light In
q house. for they would naturally
think the people living there were At
home.

Despite extraordinary vigilance Of
the police there were two more rob-
berries and two more attempts Satur-
day night, the eleventh, twelfth, thir-
teenth and fourteenth operation of
burglars here within a month. They
went to prove that one OF the boldest
and most daring band of robbers
that has ever preyed upon the resi-
dents Of the city is at work here.
Jeweiry and wearing apparel to the
value OF approximately $3.50 was
taken from the residence of Charles
A. Durham at 22 Market street, and
about $75 worth OF jewelry was
taken from the home Of Joseph Brim-
low, at 264 Rector street, which is
Just around the corner from the
Durham residence. A house at 262
Rector street owned by Walter l..
Farroat, which adjoins the Brimlow
home, was entered. 1t was vacant,
Mr.. Farroat having removed from 1t
some time ago.
1t would appear that an automo-
bile Is used by the robbers and that
members of the gang include heavy
set man and a woman. Collector OF
Revenue Richard F. White saw a
heavy built man coming out OF side
gates at his home, 20 Market street,
just east of the Durham residence,
as he was entering about 8 O'Clock
Saturday night. He procured a club
and lay In wait for the stranger, but
failed to see him again. Imprints OF
woman's shoe at the side and in
bn ~ N a w n n
lead over fence to the rear of the
Brimlow house, indicate to some
that there is a woman concerned,
otherwise one OF the band may be q
man wearing Woman's shoes. The
victims declare the robbers knew
their business. Some of the things
they done were to throw those in
pursuit off their trail, it is declared
| The automobile and the imprints OF
woman's shoe might have been
stalls for the police. Burned and
unburned matches were thrown
about the houses which were enter
| ed, but it is believed they were
| thrown about to put the police of
! their trail. Mrs. Brimlow says she
does not believe matches were used
by the robbers for lighting purposes
Indications are that they were more
clever than to do that.
| Two police officers stood talking
in front of the Dunham house about
the time 1t was being robbed, ac=
cording to witnesses. While the
police were in the Dunham residence
securing an account of the work OF
| the burglars, the band was operat-
| ing in the Brimlow home, about 100
feet away, it Is declared. Both rob-
berry scenes are one block from police
| headquarters.
The Dunham home was robbed be-
tween and o'clock, it is believed
! The police were detailed at $40
O'Clock to make an investigation.
| Patrolman Joseph Hartung, in plain
clothes, and Roundsman John Nor
ris made an investigation. Entrance
had been gained through a side win
dow, about fifty feet from the street
and In view of any one passing. The
robbers went about taking principally
/ jewelry, money and small amount
OF wearing apparel.
Most of 1t was taken from a bed
room on the second floor OF the
house. The loot included two pairs
of gold cum links, ladies' ring with
garnets and pearls, two fraternal
pins. a watch charm, a ladies locket.
gold watch fob studded with dia-
mond, q gold cross and chain. a gold
watch fob studded with diamond,
