For the second time In as many

same neighborhood and was chased
by the resident, but made his escape.
Mrs. Robert j. Venerable, 80. told
police she was awakened about l:55
m. today by her son, Robert, jr,
who asked if he could go down to
the first floor for a drink of water.
When she switched on the light
in her second-story bedroom she saw
burglar standing between her bed
and the door. Her home, which is
at $3.50 Northampton street NV, is
around the corner from the resi-
dence of DR.. Harold G. Moulton, who
early yesterday morning chased a
burglar out of his home and over
the back fence with fire tongs.
Mrs. Venerable said 1t was difficult
to say whether the intruder was
white or colored, but that descrip-
ton given police closely fitted the
man DR.. Moulton pursued.
Description of Intruder.
She described the man as being
about Is years old, approximately
5 feet 7 inches tall. 130 pounds in
weight and slight of stature. He
wore a large gray hat, coat and odd
pants. The coat, she told police,
was too long for the man and had
broad belt across the back.
Mrs. Venerable said there was a
gun on a wardrobe near the bed,
but she was afraid to reach for it

diamonds and four sapphires, per-
sonal papers and lace change purse

Some hunters who reported

nothing but antlers in the Allegan

and they are sticking to 1t.
Because Of the unseasonably

were poor. BY the time 312 of
