TRY TO STEAL LUMBER

Two unknown men attempted to
steal some lumber from the West side
yesterday morning at about 2 O'Clock,
but their attempts were unfruitful, as
they were seen crossing the Broadway
wagon bridge by Night Patrolman Bert
Boyes. Their system Of conveying the
lumber was a poor one, that of carry
ing it in their arms.
He yelled at them to stop and then
lumber, which consisted Of high Grade
wainscoting, and ran. The policeman
pursued them and sounded his whistle
for help, which reused the entire neigh:
borhood on Broadway east for several
blocks around. A search was made LOT
the men, but no trace Of them could
be found.
