BURGLAR FALLS HID TOILS

OF THE LAW AFTER RANSACKING RESI DENCE OF DR. PRESTON SUNDAY EVENING THUG IS CAPTURED . Partner Escaped Through Crowd Which Surrounded HousedDeed t , Was Executed Before 8:00 O'clock. Plymouth was all excitement Sunday evening: ,over the capture of a burglar, who had ransacked the residence of Dr. II. P. Preston, corner of Monroe and north Michigan street, which was effected by Sheriff Daniel C Voreis, after a hot chase through alleys, and down streets, for about three blocks. At, the preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Peter Holloway, Monday morning, the prisoner gave the name of Lawrence Edwards, Chicago 111., age 27, and entered a plea of not guilty. The court found the evidence sufficient, and bound him over to the circuit court, on the charge of burglary anl fixed the bond at $2000. Being without means, he was committed to the local jail, to await trial in the circuit eourt. Residents Not at Home The burglary was committed at an unusually early hour, being between 7:30 and" 8:00 o'clock Sunday evening and the arrest was accomplished short ly after 8 o'clock. The captured man had an accomplice who escaped, is the testimony of neighbors who discovered the house breakers in the act The residence has not been occupied for the past few days, owing to the absence of Dr. and Mrs. Preston. Dr. Preston is in Chicago where he was taking a post-graduate course in a medical institution and Mrs. Preston is at LaPorte. No doubt the burglars were ignorant of the fact that the residents of the house were out of the city, and were of the supposition that the householders were out calling, or at church. - rThis would account for the early hour at which the attempt was made. Neighbors See Lights. The burglars were discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Z. M.. Tanner, who reside next door, and south of the Preston residence. Mr. and Mrs. Tanner were attracted by the odor of smoke which startled them, and suggested a burning residence. Recalling the absence of Dr. and Mrs. Preston from home, Mrs. Tanner suspected that . the fire might be from the Preston residence, and accordingly she went to a window, and looked over at that house. She was surprised to see what appeared to be an electric torch or dark lantern moving about the Preston residence from room to room She called to her husband that burglars were in the Presron house. lie was incredulous at first, but came to the window and together they discerned two forms moving about the house, casting the light from their torch here and there. Soon one of the housebreakers came to a window on the south side of the, house, and drew the blind. This operation was repeated at another window. Mr. Tanner hastened to summons the neighbors, .while Mrs. Tanner, rush d to the phone. She called Sheriff Voreis and Central notihed marsnaii Daniel Jacob v. The sheriff was aroused from bed, but arrived at the scene within ten minnt. Meanwhile a crowd of neighbors and passers-by assembled about the house, hearing f the news frdm Mr Tanner. I he gathering of the people warned the burglars who made a dash through the rear door. Mr. Tanner and a couole of others saw the pair run from the residence, and called to them to halt. At this juncture Sher iff Voreis appeared at the alley com ing from the west on Monroe street. just in time to see one ot the thugs running north up the alley. The officer called for hm to halt, whieu nnheed was followed by a pistol shot in the direction of the fleeing burMar '& less. Voreis gave chase, and followed north through the alley to the rear of the,olford residence where the fugitive turned west, and headed for Center street. Voreis gained considerably in the chase, and at his command, the pursued one drew ud on Center street, and threw up his hands. He was marched to jail by. the sheriff. Find Revolver. A crowd collected at the Preston residence, and looked through1 the house. A revolver which was no doub: dronoed bv one of the escaping bur irlars. was found by William Gaub on the north side of the house, near Monroe street. As the thug who was captured did not take this direction, it is thought that his companion took himself to liberty in that way Hearing Held This Morning The evidence presented at the hear ng Monday morning, is incriminating

The prisoner has every appearance of a thug. He is twenty-seven years of

age, is 5 feet 7 and one-half inches tall, of slender build, weighing about 132 pounds. He wears a black suit of clothes .and black overcoat, with a black derby hat. Face is smooth shaved. He has black hair .and dark eves. Wore collar and tie. A distinguishing mark, is the teeth, which are exceptionally far apart in the upper jaw. He was uncommunica tive, and had nothing to say, ex cepting to enter his plea of not guilty and to give his name and address. In the testimony presented, Z. M. Tanner related how the pair were seen in the Preston house, by himself and wife, and sheriff Voreis told of the chase and capture. Incriminating evidence, was furnished by booty found upon the person of the prison er. In his pockets were found a button with the picture of Mrs. Preson, a Masonic emblem belonging to Dr. Preston, a quantity of old coins, etc. all of which can be indentified by th';ir owners when thev arrive home. Another incriminating circumstance which the prisoner wove about him self, was the finding of his overcoat Although he denied implicity in the burglary", he told Sheriff Voreis that he had an overcoat, and pair of over alls, which had been lost. The overcoat aud package containing the over alls, were found in the back yard of he Preston residence. The prisoner claimed both as his property. Accomplice a Large Man The only description of the accom plice who escaped, is given by Z. N. Tanner, which is that the other bur glar was a heavy man, and wore a sandv mustache. 1 Nothing has been heard in regard to this thug, who has no doubt made good in his "getawav. Crime is Frequent. The' burglary of Sunday night, may ielp to solve the mystery of the series of house breakings, and petty crimes which have been prevalent in this city for the past couple of months. At intervals thieves have entered various places ,and so far have succeeded in getting away. In this manner the OTveefe lumber yard office was broken into, and the safe of the Adams Express Company blown, and rifled. Some are of the opinion that each offense were executed bv the same men. The affair ast night, was the acme in boldness considering the early hour in which he burglary was committed, when people were passing the house fre quently. FRANCIS REPROGLE DROPS DEAD AT HOME AFTER RAKING LEAVES THIS MORNING Was Seventy-Six Years Old And Leaves a Wife and Two Daugh-ters----Moved Here From LaPorte. Heart disease instantly snuffed out the life of Francis Reprogle, age 76 at his home south of the Brink block, on south Michigan street, at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning. After finishing his breakfast, Mr. Reprogle began raking leaves from the grass plot in front of the residence. He returned to the house, and complained that his stomach and heart pained him, and drank a cup of hot water. He then returned to the task, for a few minutes, only to reenter the house, with a second attack. He died while seated in a chair, while the family was attending to him. Deceased is survived by a wife and two daughters, Miss Mercie Reprogle who resided at home, and Mrs. J H. Murphey of Chicago. The family moved to this city about six months ago from LaPorte. Deceased is a retired farmer, and was preparing to move to a garden on the outskirts of Plymouth. He a member of the Catholic church. Funeral arrangements have not been completed, but will probably be held at Michigan City. GLOVE FACTORY BOOMING D. R. Donoghue Purchases Another Private Business---Has Five People Employed. D. R. Donoghue, and his glove factory are booming. Last week Mr. Donoghue purchased the private business of N. Baker and added the implements to his factory on west Adams street.

DESTROYS BROTHER'S SIGHT

Two Year Old Argos Child Thrusts Fork Into Eye of , ' Infant.

Monday morning, Oct, 24, Ott, the little two-year-old son of David Burroughs seemingly peeved because hin father had not waited at the "breakfast table till he, too, had finished, thrust his fork from him aimlessly in his childlike effort to emphasize his disapproval of his father's nn. willingness to "wait". A cruel chance directed that fork p?lut for. ward into the eye of little four. mbnths-old Clifford reposing in his mother's lap. Two of the noint struck mercilessly into the sight of his right eye. To the parents, the injury did not seem to be serious untill Wednesday morning, when Dr. Sarber was called. He appaised the parents of the serious condition of the eye and advised them to take th babe to Rochester that afternoon to Dr. Eikenbury who had office hon. there that day. This vas done. The speciahst is a very busy man but he gave the babe the closest possible at tention coming to the Burroughs home and staying at night at great personal sacrifice. The inflamation that set up, however, would not vield to hia heroic treatment and Saturday night H Decame evident that the little sufferer must lose a "window of th soul". Early Sunday morning Dr. Sarber was called and assisted the specialist in the removal of the effect ed organ. During the process of removal the coating of the eye gave way at the affected part, and the ac cumulated matter that issued forth told too well the story of the true nature of the injury and of the 6uffer ing that the little one must have en dured. The whole distressing storv is al most to regretable to recount, and tue sympathy of the entire eommnnitv goes into this home. The child is gradually improving and the removed member will be, replaced by one of glass in the near luture. Infant Child Dies.
