A BURGLAR
CAPTURED
MIDNIGHT PROWLER VISITS A.
S. PRESCoTT'S ROOM AT MANI
TABA HOTEL AND GETS IN BAD
-GIVEN SIX MONTHS.

Awakened at about midnight Tues
day night A. S. Prescott, who has
rooms at the Manitaba hotel, discov-
cred burglar in his sleeping apart
ment, holding lighted match in his
hand and casually taking survey OF
the situation.
The midnight intruder was husky
individual and possessed an evil-look
ing face. But Mr. Prescott decided
it was up to him to capture him if it
were possible. He therefore address
ed him something like this
Good evening. What do you want,
my friend?"
Just at that time Mr.. Burglar
didn't want anything-except to get
away,so he turned towards the open
doorway connecting with another
room and went out of the sleeping
apartment on high speed.
Prescott Immediately sprang from
his bed and took after him, graphing
with the fellow before he was able to
gain the hallway. After lively tus-
sle Prescott got his man down and
called for help. H. L. Sullivan, who
occupies an adjoining room, heard the
scrap and hastened into the hallway,
and Mrs. Clayton, ,landlady of the Mani
taba, also ran out to see what all
the trouble was about.
Mr. Sullivan went after Constable
Clayton and the burglar was soon
placed in the calaboose. However, the
captured man put up fight with
Officer Clayton before he was able
to land him into the old ice house,
Park ,er's commodius jail, which is
bing useed by the town to house pris-
oners because the county supervis-
.ors are too stingy to build a jail at
this place.
The following morning a misdemea-
nor charge was lodged against him
with Mr.. Prescott as complaining wit
ness The fellow gave his name as
NJ. J. Barnes, and claimed that his
home was in Texas He plead that
he was drunk and didn't know what
he was doing.
His evidence at the trial before
Justice of the Peace Collins, however,
was not strengthened much when the
justice himself discovered that the
same man had visited his place the
same night and stole a screwdriver,
a wrench and a steel tape and pawn
ed them at one of the local saloons.
These goods were recovered.
Barnes was given six month in the
county jail, and Constable Clayton
left Wednesday night with his prison
er for Phoenix, at which place de-
putty sheriff met him and took the
man to Yuma
That Barnes is bad man was cor
roborated by Constable Clayton, who
recalls knowing the fellow in Tex
as, where he killed a man. Barnes
carries the scars yet where his adver-
sary, in defending himself, cut him
with a knife around the eyes. 1t is
believed by Officer Clayton that Barn
es is still wanted for this crime by
the Texas authorities.
This is the second time within the
past couple of years that a burglar
has tried to get away with Mr.. Pres
colts valuables. The first one es-
caped, having had little better start
than the last one. Since the first at
tempted burglary Prescott often has
laid awake nights wishing that a bur
glar would call around so that he
might capture him.
Everything comes to him who waits
and so Mr.. Prescott has at last had
long wished for desire satisfied
he captured a burglar.
