DIAMONDS, WATCH AND
MONEY, BURGLARS LOOT
Home of MIR. and Mrs. Lewis
Thomas is Ransacked.
FORCED THE CELLAR DOOR.
And Bureau, Buffet and Desk Drawers
Are Rfled OF Things Of
Value.

The holiday season about Christ
mas is seldom without one or more
acts of burglary, or other similar
acts of theft.
Some time between and O. clock
last evening, thieves entered the resi-
dence Of MIR. and Mrs. Louis H.
Thomas, at Murray Hill, and got
away with pretty rich haul. Their
loot consisted of jewelry as well as
money. The articles stolen included
two diamond rings, gold watch and
chain, and a pocketbook contaiing $11
and some odd change.
Although the circumstances sur.
rounding the burglary indicate that
1t was committed by one or more per-
sons probably familiar with the
house. The police officials, it is un-
derstoOd, have no tangible clue upon
which TO trace down the thieves, al
though diligent investigation was
started last night as soon as tn.
burglary was reported, and ii is being
pushed with added vigor today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas and their
child were out of the house at the
time the thief or thieves got in their
work. They left shortly before 6
O'Clock to visit Mrs. Thomas mother,
Mrs. Matthew Strohm, of Green
street. It was O'Clock when they
returned to the residence. Entering
the house, they soon discovered evil
dences that it had been rapsacked.
Everything was topsy turvey, partic-
ularly in the bedroom.
The thief or thieves entered the
residence by forcing the cellar door.
This door was fastened with a Yale
lock, and the llck had been broken off
completely. The diamond rings
taken are valued at $3.50 The thief
left the pocketbook behind, after
rifling it of the $1l and loose
change that il contained.
The police are looking for sus-
picIous looking man who had been
hanging about town all last week,
who was ordered by Mayor Strange
to leave the city Saturday morning.
but who was seen as late as IL
{ CLOCK that night in a Main street
saloon The mans appearance, as
well as his manner, led one to en-
tertain feeling of suspicion to
ward him. He visited several drug
stores. and pretending that he was
i'll, secured medicine, and then ask
ed that the proprietor or clerk, to
trust him until the following day.
He was a complete stranger here
at all odds.
He was seen hanging about sa-
looms on several occasions, and ap-
parently won his way in the COM
pany of other men by his conver-
sation. He seemed quite conversant
on several subjects. And he had
another clever way of getting in
with persons, by pretending that
he was an old residenter of the city
who had been absent in the West
for number of years. The man is
described as being about 5 feet 10
inches in height, about SO years old
of sharp features, and wore a gray
ish brown overcOat, dark suit, light
cap, and an old pair of shoes.
This same man was arrested at the
instance of DR.. J. o. Purvis, from
whom he received a visit at
o'clock Saturday morning The man
told him he would like to make an
appointment with him at Carvel Hall
at 10 o'clock in the morning. 1t was
through this that Mayor Strange or
dered the man to leave the city.
