BERKELEY HOME Is
ROBBED ON THE 4TH

That the Fourth of July Is not OBJ
served as holiday by thieves was
shown here yesterday when the Nor
borne Berkeley home was robbed dur
ing the absence of members of the
family. Jewelry to the intrinsic val
ue of 5000 was taken and the house
generally ransacked though fortunate
ly the burglars omitted taking some
valued old silver that is priced much
by the family.
The burglary occurred during the
afternoon while Mr.. and Mrs. Berke-
ley were at the Roundup park for the
Fourth of July events and ball game.
During the ball game Mr. Berkeley
felt uneasy lest their house might be
broken into during their absence and
they left the game before it was fin
ishd.
The burglar entered the Berkeley
home which is on the east side of
Thompson street near the south hill
through breaking in window in the
rear. Whoever committed the crime
evidently knew the family had left
for the afternoon. When the family
returned they found the place had
been broken into and considerable
jewelry and trinkets taken. The ar
ticles taken consisted of pins, brace
let's watch and other articles. Some
of the stolen pieces are of such make
that the things may be easily identi-
fled and 1t is possible the thief will be
captured through trying to sell or
pawn some of the jewelry.

grandstand at Roundup Park an ath-
letic program of races and novelty
games was pulled off yesterday after
noon between 1880 and at which
latter hour the ball game for the
championship of the county COM
menced. The events followed each
other in rapid succession and the de-
lays which are so tedious to the spec
tators were remarkable by their abb
sence.
Chief honors in the event were
captured by boy dressed In eccen-
trio garb and with face blackened. He
gave the name of Still and was as ST.

He proved speedy one for he ran
