Little by little kolchak has given

The other reason Is. that for 20

Cossack general OF the old school

official gave the members OF the

impression that the entire Siberian

POLICE SEARCHING
FOR ROBBERS OF
BURLINGTON HOME
Burglars Boldly Enter Fam.
lily Quarters and Steal
Necklace and Watch

The police are today endeavoring
to discover the robbers who boldly
entered the home of Edwin L. Shut
tleworth, superintendent of the Win
ooski mill, yesterday morning and
entering the room where he and his
wife were sleeping robbed them of a
valuable pearl necklace and gold
watch.
The Shuttleworth home is on Main
street, Just above the corner of Will
lard, and the crooks evidently knew
the lay of the land perfectly for they
manoeuvred so that their entrance,
which was made through rear base
ment window, was at such time
that the officer on the beat was far
thest from the house.
Gaining entrance to the house the
men, for it is believed that there were
two of them, made their way to the
second floor of the home and evident
ly carrying out a pre-arranged plan.
they went Immediately to the bed
room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Shut
tlewolth.
On the dresser in this room lay a
necklace of pearls, the property of
Mrs. Shuttlcworth, and reported to be
worth a considerable sum of money,
although no value was set upon the
stones yesterday; also nearby was
valuable gold watch, the property
of Mr.. Shuttleworth. The thieves
took both of these articles and were
searching about for more
when they awakened the occupants
of the room.
As soon as Mr. Shuttleworth had
stirred and before he could make an
effort to stop the thieves or even to
get a view of them, they hustled from
the room, ran down the stairs and
with an evident knowledge of the
premises made for an obscure side
door that let them out into a side
street, where they quickly made their
getaway.
Neither Mr.. Shuttlewolth or the
police would have anything to say
regarding the ROBBERY, although it is
presumed that he reported the mat
ter to the authorities; in fact, inves-
tigators were seen about the home,
which is located on one of the resi-
Dental sections of the city, all the
morning.
The thieves left no clue other than
that their work indicated some
knowledge of the premises and also
indicated that they were not anna
tours, for they passed up valuable
stuff downstairs and went directly to
the sleeping quarters, where the
necklace and other valuablcs were
kept.
1t is believed that other articles will
be found missing but there was ne
way of confirming this fact, because
| of the reluctance of Mr.. ShuttlewortI
to discuss the matter.
