Home of Martin Whittier,
President of Whittier Com
pany Entered At Early
Hour Today.
WHITTIER SHOUTS "GET OUT"
Heard Burglar At Work On Ground
Floor of His Home But Did Not Want
To Take Chances-Police Search
House But Find No Clew of Identity.

The band of bold robbers moved over
to Park avenue early today and report
was made to the police that burglars
entered the home of Martin P. Winth-
er, president of the Whittier Motor
Truck Company at 704 Park avenue in
the early hours of the morning. The
entire lower part of the house was ran
sacked by the burglars and they got for
their trouble small number of post
age stamps and liberty bond valued
at fifty dollars.
The burglary took place just after
one o. clock this morning and the burg
lar entered the house through a rear
door which was forced open. Mr..
Whittier and the members Of his family
were sleeping in rooms on the second
floor of the house and WHITTIER heard
the noise of the burglar moving around
on the first floor of the building. He
shouted to the man to ''get OUT and
when he lad given him plenty Of time
to ''get" Whittier went down and
called the police department.
1t was found that the man had made
pretty borough search of the down
stairs of the house, but he did not
venture into the upper portion. Draw
ers had been opened and their contents
strewn about on the floor but the
drawers did not yield anything of value
with the exception of the liberty bond.
There was considerable amount of
valuable silver and plate in the house,
but the thieves made no effort to carry
away any of it.
The police made careful examina-
tion of the ransacked house, but found
nothing which would serve as clew to
the identity of the burglars.
Gin the light of recent events I did
not care to make an effort to mix per-
sonally with these fellows declared
President Whittier in discussing the in
cident. ct heard the man moving
about and shouted to him to get out,
but I did not think that it was the
better part oe valor to go down and
mix with him in person. | knew that
he was not going to get very much
and / did not think that it was worth
taking chances to go down and try
and catch him.

Police Get Strange Anony-
nous Letter Asserting that
Juchalski Gang Is a
Reality.
DESPERATE DESPERADOES
Letter Warns the Police That Members
Will Not Be Taken Alive-Declare
That AccompEces Who Secured Car
From Juchalski Are Far Out West.

The belief that the storied Juchalski
gang was reality and was still work
ing in Kenosha bobbed up again here
today when the local police found a
strange anonymous communication de-
claring defiantly that the gang still
lived though its leader had paid the
penalty for his crime and daring. The
letter-if it may be called such-was
printed on the paste-board hack of a
small tablet and was left at the door
of the Police Office sometime on Tues
day.
The letter is extremely interesting,
and If the existence of the "gang'' is
true, as it attempts to make out, it
throws new light on several recent
robberies made in or near Kenosha.
The police are little skeptical, how
ever, and think that it may have been
written merely to thicken the tangle
of stories which has been woven around
the name of the robber who lost his
life in an attempt TO rob the Silver
Lake State bank. It is written in all
the bravado of the typical five cent
novel and the police also think that it
may be the work Of some youthful as
pirant to criminal excitement.
The communication in its own spell
ing follows:

The police are specializing on the
value of the letter. Chief o Hare has
not considered it at all seriously and
has not connected it in the least with
any of the big robberies which have
occurred in Kenosha recently. 1t is
believed that the daring shown by
Juchalski may have appealed to the
spirit of adventure in some Kenoshans
and that they seized on the scheme of
the gang. 1t is also admitted that
such a gang may exist and may be re-
sponsible for several of the petty rob
berries which have occurred in the coun-
