lawn and burglarized the home of Boone
Jacobs on South Seventh street.
We told OF how the Jacobs home had
been entered and completely ransacked
without arousing the inmates. and we
have similar story to tell this week of
the happenings at the home of Jacob Ba-
ker on South Ninth street.
Some time Saturday night the Baker
home was entered and all the cash in
Mr.. Bakers pookets-about S50-to-
gether with the trousers and number of
other articles, we're taken. the miscreant
making his departure without awakening
the occupants or leaving clue by which
he might be traced. Entrance was gained
by cutting hole through a screen door,
and how the burglar could do this and
prowl around the house without being
heard is considered remarkable, as the
woman of the house makes up for her
husbands deafness by being very light
sleeper. and it is asserted by some that
the robber ohloroformed his victims. al
though no trace of the drug is apparent.
The police are on the watch for the mid.
night marauder, but so far have not been
able 10 fasten suspicion on anyone.
Supener Again In Trouble
A Saturday scrap is becoming the reg
uar routine in this city. and through the
efforts of Tom Supener the custom was
kept up last week. Supener, it appears.
had visited Swink to celebrate his release
from $500 peace bond. under which he
has been kept quiet for the past year.
and upon his return proceeded to get in
the limelight once again by trying to
knock the block off Walter Masten-
bookkeeper for George Bryant-beeause
OF an alleged excessive hay bill.
About the time that Supener had salts
fed his thirst for gore, George Bryant
happened along. and seeing his book
keeper laid out, took a smash at Supener,
when he was felled by blow from Pat
MoElroy, Jr. While Bryant was living on
the ground. Supener landed kick on his
neck before the police could drag him
away and end what looked like a free
for-all.
Supener was later released upon his
own recognizance and is still at liberty.
although warrant for his arrest on the
complaint Of George Bryant has been in
the hands of the officers since Saturday
evening.
Assault Case Dismissed
Through the dismissal on Tuesday of
the assault charge brought against
young Rocky Ford citizen. 1t is hoped that
we have heard the last of sensational
story that has for several days been a
sweet morsel to the scandal mongers of
this city.
As the Joy ride. which formed the basis
of the story, resulted in the severe POM
melting of the two men of the party. the
disruption of Rocky Ford home and dis
graceful notoriety for widow. it would
appear that the moral to the story is
sufficiently plain without further publicity.
Rancher's Wife Led Double Life
Wanted by the officers of this city for
raising check for SIS to $50. and also
in connection with an alleged white slave
case. Lulu Pearson, wife of rancher
living several miles from this city, was
arrested in Pueblo on Monday morning.
According to the statements OF Under
Sheriff Steward. who went after the
woman and brought her to the county
jail on Tuesday, the officers have evidence
that she has been leading double life,
and while to her husband she appeared
to be ali that was good and worthy. her
frequent trips to Pueblo and Denver were
for the purpose of carrying on traffic in
women.
The check Mrs. Pearson is alleged to
have raised from SIS to $50 was given
her by her husband and she will have to
stand trial upon this charge at least.
Held for Larceny
In Judge Fenlason's court. on Tuesday,
the Mexican who was arrested on Sum-
day, charged with the larceny of goods
from the home of j. M. Gee, was given
preliminary hearing and was bound over
to the district court.
During the absence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gee, last July, their home was entered
and a quantity of clothing was taken.
