A ‘PEEPING TOM’ DISCOVERED

In Rensselaer Recently and Run to Earth by a Citizen. For some time recently complaints have been made by residents of south Park avenue and vicinity of a man peeping into the windowi of homes there, and a few nights ago Emmet Muater, young son of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Muster, while going home at night, saw someone peeping into the Window at the Mrs. George Robinson home. At first he supposed it was John Robinson standing by the window, and asked: “In that you, John?" The fellow said, “no," and started away on a run. As the Muster home was one of the several that complaints had been made from. Emmet knocked at the door of the Robinson home and told what he had seen to Mrs. John Robinson, who came to the door. John had gone to bed, but he got and hastily pulled on some clothes and with young Muster took after the fellow, the latter having noted the direction the fugitive ha 4 taken. They chafed him out in the country about half a mile before they caught, up with him, and when they saw who it was they were so surprised that they didn’t do a thing to him, but John did report the matter to the people where the man was employed and he Is said to have left town next day, probably never to return.
