tagers the first here of consequence in
several years. have stirred Newport resi-
dents.
The home Of DIR. Richard v. Mattlson,
of Amber, Pa, and that Of Mrs. James

II is believed the burglar was the same
in both instances. At the Mattison house
he stole jewels valued at more than $4,000
and the loss may reach $4,000. The Hag-
gin loss has not yet been determined, but
is probably heavy.
The Mattison home is known as "Bushy
Bark" and is located in Bath Road. The
members OF DIR. Mattison's family and
several friends were at dinner about 8
o'clock on Saturday night when the bur-
glar visited the place.
He gained entrance 10 a room on the
second floor by climbing a porch. He
searched the bedrooms and gathered up
all the Jewels he could find. One of the
maids heard noise on the stairs leading
from the second floor down TO the
kitchen. She opened the door and saw
a strange man descending the stairs.
Halt" he said quietly, aiming a re-
yolver at her. and, according to her ac-
count later, said
IF you cry out I'll blow your head of.
Paralyzed with fear, the maid kept
silent as he continued TO descend the
stairs. still pointing the revolver at her

room, he placed the pistol against the
girls head and said that II she gave anv

He then rushed out the kitchen door
and disappeared.
When she had recovered from b.r
fright the maid rushed into the dining
room and alarmed the family. A search
was made and the loss OF the jeweiry ais
covered.
