Mrs. Haupt had S1OO in money and
$3.50 in Liberty bonds in the room in
which she was sleeping and the bur-

room to ransack it when scared

his money and bonds in the bank the
next morning.
At fifteen minutes after one the

awakened from slumber when a light
from flash lamp was flashed in her
face. Her bed faced the rear kitchen
window, with the door between the
bed room and the kitchen standing
ajar. When Mrs Juden was awaken

the screen and was trying to crawl in
the window, which was not closed.
When she called to Mr.. Juden to get
his revolver, that there was a bur
glar in the house, the burglar ran
around the corner and disappeared,
dropping bottle of medicine which
was standing on the table in front of
the window on the ground at the cor

Cane Girardeau has been under the
spell of the burglar scare for the past
week and householders have been
sleeping with one eye open, with oiled

hinge creaks, or a window rattles,
and they have been also in dreadful
suspense lest they be awakened from
slumber by an actinic glare thrown in
their face by "Flash-Light Jack"
