Christmas Burglars
Visit Palisade, But
Did Little Damage

Burglaries a la caprice, Christmas
style, were frequent in Palisade last
Saturday and Sunday nights, at some
hour not exactly known as to exact
ness. But the chap or chaps were
more busy than concerned, or else
they were not regular fellows in the
burglar line, or did not have their
minds on their business, for they
missed lot and got really very little.
The damage was slight in each of the
three homes to which they left their
greetings.
The homes entered were those of
L. c. Anderson, George Lane, and
Mrs. Dodge, all at the time unoccu-
pied-that is, the families were tenn
porially absent.
L. c. Anderson had gone over to
his mothers for Christmas with his
family. He came back Saturday
afternoon to look things over, and
found that some one had jimmied a
window. He went back about seven
o'clock, leaving light burning in the
hall below. 1t is supposed that the
visitors who came again despite the
light, must have been there a little
after seven, as the police had been
called up and Officer Heft was around
little while later. He saw where
the windows had been entered, and
the front door jimmied, also. Then
they opened a kitchen window, be-
sides the cellar window. When Officer
Heft was examining, the burglars
might have gotten out the back way
and made off from fright, as they got
nothing but $1.15 belonging to Mr..
Anderson's daughter Marie. Helen
says they missed SIS she had in a
bureau drawer.
At the Lane home, the front door
was merely jimmied open, and also a
window, and the same thing happened
at the Dodge home, Aud about the
same time the Da, home just
south Ct the Dodge was enter
