The blue coat reached the window first and the burglar turned back.
 With Officer Hellberg, Officer Grace entered tile saloon and finally found Mierszianka perched or top of @ water closet box up near the ceiling. The youth said he was hungry so en- tered the cafe to get something to eat. He also told the police that three TerryVille men were with him, but no credence is placed in'this statement.
