/ Alleged Burglar

Considerable excitement was Gre.
ated In this city Thursday morning
when bloodhounds were used in an ef-
lot to trace man who, the police
say, entered two homes here.
The first place entered was that of
Clarence Allen, SO3 West Burgess
street. The intruder was discovered
there about 2:4e o'clock. The second
placed was the home of Mrs. Jennie
Railey, of Marion street, about an
hour later.
Nothing was taken at either place
and the police are inclined to think
that the man was crazy.
At the Allen home the intruder en-.
tered through kitchen window. AT.
ter searching the lower part of the
house, but taking nothing, he started
towards the second floor.
Mrs Allen was awakened by the
noise in the lower part of the house.
and as the man came up the stairway
to the second floor, she screamed
when she discovered him peeripg
through the railing along the stair.
way into her room.
Mrs. Aliens screams Immediately
awoke her husband, who started af.
ter, the intruder, but he escaped
through the same window by which
he entered.

About 4 o'clock Mrs. Jennie Railey
of Marion street awoke and found a
man standing at the foot of her bed.
She Immediately screamed for help,
and her two sons, who were sleeping
in a nearby room, rushed to her res
cue. The man ran out of the room.
as soon as he discovered that Mrs.
Railey was awake.
At the Railey home it was found
that he had made his entrance
through side window.
DIR. Orders bloodhounds were TAX
on to the RaileN home, where they
picked up the trail of the man. 1t
led them through the backyard along
the b. & o. railroad tracks, and to
the river dyke. After short distance
along the dyke, the hounds lost the
scent
According to both Mrs. Allen, and
Mrs. Railey, the man was either a
negro or he wore dark mask. They
were unable to give any further de.
scription Of him.
Chief of Folice Parker, Saturday
morning, was inclined to think that
the man was crazy, as he did not
steal anything in either of the homes.
At the Allen residence, according to
the chief, he had very good oppor-
tunity, as Mrs. Allen had left her
pocketbock in china closet in the
dining room. The pocketbook was in
full view and could have very easily [
been taken by the intruder. Nothing
was disturbed in either home, except
that some chairs had been pushed
back from the windows where he en-. I
tered the houses. s
The police are Working on several
clues and it is very likely that the
Intruder will be apprehended shortly. l

MEMORIAL IN HONOR OF THE SOLDIERS
 TAKES MANY FORMS

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 27. - Wyoming will create during the coming legislative session a special commission to suggest the type of memorial in honor of the States war heroes. Governor -elect Robert D. Carey already has received sug- gestions and will turn these over to the commission. The States arid ness prevents any general tree planting campaign.
 A plan growing in favor and most likely to be adopted is the building of three big monuments of native stone on the three lines of railroad crossing the State from east to weston the Union Pacific west of Cheyenne where the continental di- vide is crossed; on Laramis Peak south of Douglas on the Chicago and Northwestern; and at some point on the Big Horn mountains south of Sheridan on the line of the Burlington. Bronze tablets de- scribing the monuments, would be placed near the railroad tracks to inform travellers.

DESCRIPTION
 OF BIG BERTHA
 AND ITS POWER
French People Are Trying to Get One of the Super Guns for Exhibition
 Purposes.

PARIS, Jan. 27. - The French people want one of the German Big Berthas" or supercannon which bom- barded Paris to display in the Place de la Concorde as a souvenir of German frightfulness that failed of it's purpose to destroy French mo- rale.
 The armistice does not stipulate that one of these instruments shall be surrendered but there is a move ment to urge the Government to de- mand it. There is no expectation that the Germans will include one Of these weapons among the 2,500 guns they are required to give up under the armistice.
 Facts obtained by military eX- perts show that the first guns that fired upon Paris on March 23, last numbered three. They were in stalled near Mont-Joie, in the for est of Sain Gobain. Two were on the same railroad spur leading out of Laon while the third was a little further east in the vicinity of Creepy
 According to the latest infor- nation, 'the guns were pointed at an angle of more than 65 degrees, a charge of three hundred pounds of powder propelling the projectile to a height of one hundred thousand feet (nearly 19 miles) on it's mur- derous mission to Paris. With every shot ten or twelve marine guns of sixteen or seventeen-inch calibre fired simultaneously upon targets unknown in order to con- ceal the location of supercannon. The shell was of 210 millimetre call ibre (about eight inches). It weighed three hundred pounds but the charge of explosive >ontained therein varied between thirty and forty pounds.
 In the manufacture of the shell resided an innovation of the Ger mans. It is said to have been made of special steel treated with tung- sten so as to offer the maximum of resistance for a minimum of weight. The guns only protection was in camouflage and it proved to be no protection at all as Allied aviators soon located them. Three is a re- port that several aviators Ameri- cans, French, British. lost their lives in locating the first three Berthas in the forest of St. Gobain but up- on that point officials are silent.
 However, on March 275 one of the Berthas was blow up by an aerial torpedo which tore a hole in the ground more than fifty feet in diameter, photograph of which has been taken. The second was put out of commission in the last days of April, while the third of the original three were silenced in May |. It is now asserted that two of these guns were remodeled into a larger calibre, nine-inch, and that these remcdeled guns were the ones which resumed the shelling, of Paris in May last
 Subsequently the Germans sue ceeded in utilizing larger calibred guns for long distance firing for, in August, they used a marine gun from near Soissons, firing a twelve and a half-inch shell. They were
