In response to the message, all the officers available were loaded into the patrol wagon and hurried to the scene, where they surrounded the house and spread the net for the supposed house breaker.

The lady, who was extremely nervous, nearly had a fit when she heard the policemen rap, but was reassured when she learned who they were.

Sergeant Grant, who knows Shake

the waiting cops and remarked some

lightly turning to thoughts of love in the spring time, and the wagon went back minus a promising prisoner.
The nervous lady was told of the facts
in the case over the telephone and the
report of the run in the wagon records

Plan Big Charity Event.
The ladles of the South Chicago Charitable association are planning an entertainment that will surpass any previous affair they have given. Last year's entertainment, for which Manager John T. Connors donated the Calumet theatre and the services of the stock company for one night, netted the association over $1,000. This year Mr. Conners will probably again give the use of the theatre and stock company, and the event will take place near the close of the theatre's season, in May or June. Other attractions will be provided in the bill, and it is believed the theatre will be crowded to the limits of its capacity. Mrs. A. H. Hanson is president of the association.
