lowing his beat on Broadway, saw a

peared again. He then went up to
. investigate the affair. When he
reached the corner Of the building he
discovered a man standing by the side
door with a bit in his hand. He at
once rushed forward and the fellow
| ran. At this moment two confederates
came out Of the shrubbery and at
tackled the officer who had caught and

glar from his hands. The burglars then

along on either side. OF course &C
cidents often occur and life and prop
eIty are imperilled. While on the

suggest that the members of the

! around them, often in deep mud, ought
: to be dealt with.
