WOMAN TRAPS 8
NEGRO THIEVES
IN HER HOME
Locks Burglars In, Then Runs TO
Call PoIiCe-0ne of Trio
Captured,

Mrs. William l.. Pomeroy, No. a.
keuuessw avenue is receiving CON
sratulations to-day on the GOODNESS
and bravery she displayed when she
came upon a trio of burglars who
were loo,ing her home.
Mrs. Pomeroy did not scream nor
faint when she perceived the skluk-
ing form Of one intruder behind the
portieres, nor yet when she made out
another hiding in a dark corner OF
the room.
she had Just come in from a shop
ping trip and walked through the
room as though she were going into
another room to remove her hat and
coat
Instead she calmly locked up every
means Of egress, barring the bur
glars inside. Then she went outside
herself quietly locking the door ar
ter her and rushed TO a neighbours
home, where she snet in a hurry call
for the police.
Surprised by Police.
The first intimation that the bur
glars had that their presence had
been discovered was when two mo-
torcycles from police headquarters
came sputtering loudly up the street
and two motor policemen jumped off
ana ran toward the mouse.
Policeman Cochran dashed to the
rear of the house and came face to
face with a negro who had just
climbed out Of the broken window
through which he and his accomplices
evidently had forced their entrance.
Cochran covered him with his re-
volver and slipped the manacles over
his wrists In the meantime another
negro had leaped from secOnd-Stor
window, and, by quick dash, when
carried him over a board fence into
another yard, eluded Policeman
Evans, and hid himself in the woods
near by. Evans shot at him once
and brought him TO the ground, ap-
parently with a wound through his
leg, but he arose again and got to the
woods before Evans could capture
him
Still Another Escapes.
After the excitement was over Mrs
PomeTOy unlocked the front door and
started back in the house, but was
stopped by the sound OF footsteps on
the second floor.
Evans and Cochran entered, and
an instant later another negro
jumped from a second story window
and fled to the woods The house
had been thoroughly ransacked in
Mrs Pomeroy's absence, but the
greater part Of the plumber had been
left behind when the burglars were
interrupted
The prisoner gave his name as San
ford Early, No. 80 School street. His
trial was set for Friday afternoon.

Erom a New Angle.

When Solicitor General Lehman
left Washington to pick up the
threads of his st. Louis practice he
left a gap in the ranks of Washing
tons official raeonteurs that will not
be easily filled. In spite of the
volume of his work-and a great part
of the governments most important
trust litigation vas handled by him
before the supreme court-Lehmann
never lacked time to swap stories.
One of his favorite concerns the
visit of a New Yorker to st. Louis.
Judge Lehman pointed out to him
one day the modest house in which
Serman had made his headquarters
at the start of the Civil War. Just
opposite was an imposing residence
built by a man who had made his
millions in the meat export business.
That's a curious contrast said
Lehman, the old home of a great
soldier and the magnificent palace
of a man who made his money in
pork"
"The pen," replied the New
Yorker, was always mightier than
