BURGLARS WERE CAUGHT IN ACT f Os Robbing the Holthouse. Schulte & Company Store Last Night. TWO PROFESSIONALS Discovered in the Act and One Was arrested While the Other Escaped. One of the most daring roblierlett in the history of the city was attempted Sunday evening when Ivo professional crooks broke into the Holthouse. Schulte & Co. clothing store, i-hortly after 12 o'clock. The robbery was nipped in the bud. however, by the discovery of the men. tiud the result is that the man who was working on the inside, is now lying in jail awaiting his hearing while the other t'tan escaped. According to the story of the affair as told by the prisoner, the robbery had been planned for a week. Both men claim Chicago as their home and had been through this city last Sunday at which time they made an investigation of the various stores and picked out the Holthouse, Schulte & Co. store as the one on whichthey would work and they laid the plans for entering it. Y'esterday afternoon they gained an entrance to the cellar from the outside stairway and removed about ten feet of the hot air pipe leading from the furnace to the register in the rear of the building. When this was accomplished they then went out on the street and waited until night had fallen and everything was comparatively quiet. About 12 o’clock they renewed their work. Th« priawner. being the small est of the two. theft crawW into the remaining pipe, through the register, and thus gained entrance to the building. His pal was to stand on the outside and act as watchman, and also to take thearticles as they were banded out. The man on the inside then proceeded to make a selection of the articles wanted. A suit case was tecured and into this was packed a chinchilla overcoat valued at 125; •rcn ,, nued on Page 4) GAINS_RELEASE Martin Kiefer Wins in Habeas Corpus Proceedings —Not a Subject. I I—III..

The physicians testified that Kief- . er’a condition was due to chronic al- ■ cohollsm. Judge Merryman decided! • that It war not the Intention of the law that such should ba confined In I the insane asylum.

Making Os A Newspaper (Ry A. F. Leopold.) Readers of newspapers have little conception of the tnsk of building . their evening paper -the copy thnt must be prepared, the handling of thousands of types, the care to be exercised In “making up" the pages, the expertness in the work required in modern newspaper printing, nnd final- ’ ly the prompt delivery of the paper at your home in time for the supper I table, it means many hours of toll by men especially trained in each department. The Democrat tills evening, being much larger than usual, lias severely drawn upon the brain and brawn of Its force; but this crowd of people who write and othi erwise work for The Democrat - doesn’t possess a quitter, and in consequence the paper is handed you this - evening ns promptly as if it were of , only normal size. This happy Demo- - crat family who labored long and late ■ and early is made up of the follow- • Ing: Os course John H. Heller heads I the list, as he is one of the propri- ’ etors of The Democrat, as well as managing editor. He is the man who J stands sponsor for all that appears in ■ The Democrat, good, bad and indif-, 1 ferent; he edits all copy (except this ■ little item/ and is solely responsible ’ to the public for all utterances of the 1 paper. He Is a good old boss, . and everybody around the office ts 1 willing to work over time to make 1 The Democrat’s success. And is it a success? Today’s issue spys It is. ' But the boss isn't the whole thing | 'round The Democrat office. There's J. B. Patterson, reporter: ’Arthur R. ' Holthouse, reporter; Jessie Magley, reporter; John Stewart, linotype operator; W C.
