 If a vacancy occurs in the office of mayor the city council shall have
  make temporary provision for the performance Of duty Of office un- ril the person so elected shall take office"

Mystery Around
Two Burglaries

City police are attempting to lift
a veil of mystery which covers the
breaking into the home of l. L.
Duff at ZIG South Sixth street over
the week end. The house was ran
sacked thoroughly but as near as
can be determined nothing has
been taken.
Duff is as thoroughly puzzled as
the police. He said that il is the
second time his home has been .en-
tered by someone in the last month.
Everything was turned topsy turvey
upon each occasion but nothing TAX
en- A valuable gold watch and
chain were on dresser in plain
sight during the latest break but
were undisturbed.
In reporting the matter to the po-
lice he said that the front doors had
been pried open, apparently with
the use of heavy jimmie.
Duff is one of the officials of the
Valley Steam laundry and coin
cident in the case is the fact that
the home of Mrs. l.. c. Doyle ON
He'll avenue, also employed by the
laundry, was broken into on the
same night. At the Doyle home, a
similar performance was gone
through, the house being thoroughly
ransacked but apparently nothing
taken by the person or persons who
