9. 19O8 IN THBAJUNGL.E, The residence of Mr. an Mrs. E. J.

Jeffress on HIMsbo avenue is equipped i i i with a very painty and i burglar alarm, name Mildred, age just six months- Mildred i- the daughter -n -Mr. nud d. Mudge and is a giMiicldaugiuer of Mr. and Mrs. lifted up her -oice and a i at 2 clock this morning.

Hibtor does not relate whether a pin was the trouble or whether it was a touch of colic or Be at Reilley. It is a good thing that none of the shots struck Reilley as a cartridge found this morning where the burglar jumped the fence shows, that his gun was loaded with 38-caliber long cartridges with bullets that spread and make a hole as big as a baseball. The burglar wheeled south along the L. ducking through the weeds, and Reilley right after him. The man kept in the shadows and wormed his way through the weeds like a snake, so that he was speed- a desire for further nutriment Be ily lost to sight.

Breese Glass cams that as it may the feeble cr a to see what was doing and Relied the whole" neighborhood and a ley shouted to him to telephone the turmoil ensued that lasted for a i at headquarters to start to' a the Clover Leaf. This Glass did, and if someone else had naj butted in the man might have been intercepted in the south jjart of town an hour or more. The bab's mother a and rose to see to it Her room door was open and she heard footsteps near- lag the top ot the- st.ii*.

But he was surprised at he reached the top of the stall's a woman's -voice, that of Madge, greeted him through an open doorway i the question.

Chief Argalus Stubbs was aroused the noise and sallied forth armed i a shot gun, and the quartet scoured the south end of town. Reil- tey met Nick Teasdale near the L.

M. depot and the latter told him the man ran through the yards of Jos. Hots and Peter Kremer. The trail was lost at the corner of South Fillmore and Park streets. The four officers put in an hour searching the I south end of town and another hour going through the west end, but the man was under cover.

This morning's incident was the first burglary that amounted to anything in more than a year. The cleverness of Officer Reilley scenting trouble in the first place, and the speed with which the other, officers got into the game is likely to prove discouraging to night prowlers, as it was only through the presence of heavy shadows and an evident intimate knowledge of surroundings that the man got away. It is probable that a raid on a number of East End homes was contemplated, as the watch dog at the Glass home was poisoned during the night. The police theory is that the man was a stranger who had probably spent a couple of days, getting acquainted with the surroind- ingb and laying out the "job. The idea that he was not a home man is borne out by similar occurrences in Kast St.

Louis last week (luring one of which a detective was shot and killed by the burglar and another OONOEKNING TRANSACTIONS IN THE TEBSPIjE OP CtaSBft and OotmSy Oomto--Real J3s tote Matters, Wni.

Thomas' orchestra provided music for the dancing, which continued until midnight Collinsville had one of the largest crowds that Memorial Park has ever entertained. The Woodmen were in charge, and as all the concessions were rushed to distraction during the day and night, they must have netted a liandsome sum.

There was a parade in the morning, but the bright particular feature was a public wedding, which turned out to be two weddings. The Woodmen had advertised this feature, and at 5:30 in the alternoon Miss Katherine Beatt 1 the pretty operator at the long di-tam-c board of the Central Union rrcHar.ge in Collinsville, and Walter Bnw-it'ii clerk at the Hustler Mer- will spend their honeymoon.
