Robber Who Entered Buss Home

Several stolen Articles Arc
Found In Yards.
FOLLOWING THE CIRCUS?
II 10 Felt BY Police and Nctlme, That
iHanoer-on Was Responsible,
and That He pltohed
Loot on Way.

That is was circus follower who
entered the home Of Mrs. c. H. Buss
at BIT Blondeau street Tuesday even
Ing and took considerable jewelry
from the premises is the belief of the
police and members of the family,
strengthened by the fact that several
articles taken from the house have
been found along the way to the cir
Gus ground. The thief or thieves dis
carded some of their loot, evidently
that having the least value, and it has
been found In yards and on porches
OF residences along johnson street
between Eleventh and Eighteenth
streets.
George Voss brought to the police
station ring which he found at
Eleventh and Johnson streets. The
ring was badly marked and looked as
If 1t had been stepped on, or else
had been bent and broken in getting
out the setting. The set was missing
| when found. It was the ring which
had the amethyst setting.
John Bregenzer living at Eleventh
and Johnson streets, brought plain
gold bracelet to headquarters. He
found the bracelet in his yard, where
| IL 1ldu Dccu 1luuS oNlucuIly.
Two chains and an ornamented
bracelet were found on the porch OF
the residence of George Burk, I'LL
Johnson street, by members Of the
family yesterday. These were brought
to the police station and turned over
to the officers.
| When Mrs. Frank Stripe at 1903
Johnson. opened her screen door yes
terday, she noticed that something
interfered with the door. Looking
down she saw something glitter and
picked up bar pin with star
shaped pendant which had the name
Ida Buss on it. She Immediately
reported the find. Mrs. Mcdowell
living on johnson street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets
found a plain gold band ring In hel
yard.
1t Is evident, the police say, that
the robber was a circus follower, and
that he was making his way back to
the show grounds following the rob-
berry. That he marked his pathway
out johnson street from Eleventh
with jewelry, would tend to strength
en- this theory. 1t is believed that the
man lef town with the show. and that
the loot he discarded was the least
valuable, in his mind.
