Snow this afternoon did not keep the belated shoppers at home and the downtown streets were crowded and every store along Main street was jammed, and the clerks were kept on the jump every minute. The anxiety of some of these shoppers is perhaps excusable. "Sallie Jones" has received a present from "Fannie Smith." Now she- did not expect "Fannie" to send her anything, but since she had done so she must reciprocate, and she must do it in a hurry, for it would never do to let

."Fannie" know that she had forgotten her, and she flusters about, the stores i in ;in excited manner and has much I to do in causing a delay not only for j herself but for others. i I

WOMAN BATTLES ARMED BURGLAR BUT HE ESCAPES

Mrs. William Holly, 32 South Tenth

street, wife of a well known member of the Richmond group of artiste, yes

terday afternoon fought with an armed burglar, believed to be a maniac, in

the living room of her home: He

finally overcame her and fled. She

preceeded him out of the house, how

ever, and screamed for help. - The thief

got away, however. After his escape the plucky woman collapsed and it was some time before she recovered from the nervous shock. When two police

officers, responding to an emergency call, reached the Holly residence Mrs. Holly was too hysterical to talk to them. The thief did not secure any valuables. In fact he made no effort to take any although he had every opportunity to secure money,, rings, a

watch and silverware, left exposed to view In the living and dining rooms. He only attempted to secure some discarded wearing apparel which he found in a closet off the living room. Obtain No Clues. No trace of - the burglar has been secured by the police. They have a good description- of him, however. When Mrs. Holly recovered her composure about an hour after her battle with the housebreaker, she gave Officer Vogelsong the following account of her experiences: Returning home from a shopping mission about 2 o'clock in the afternoon she noticed two large sacks on the davenport in the living room. She opened them and found them to contain clothing which had long been discarded. Thinking some one intended to play a joke on her she called the name of a boarder she thought was in the house. Instantly a man rushed

into the living room from the dining room. "His eyes glared like a maniac's but he didn't say a word, but he leveled a revolver at my head," Mrs. Holly said. She then told how

she rushed toward the man and grap

pled with him. She says she and the burglar struggled about- the living room for at least two minutes. Once he growled, "come in here" as he attempted to drag her to the dining room. She redoubled her efforts hut the thief succeeded in tripping ler. She fell to the floor. Then the man seized the two sacks, which Mrs. Holly had nearly emptied, making no effort to take her purse which had been placed at the side of the sacks, and darted to the front door. Mrs. Holly got out ahead of him and screamed for help. The thief ran past her and darted down an alley. It is believed he got aboard a west bound lnterurban car in West Richmond. The fact that the thief made no ef

fort to take valuables found by him at the Holly home causes the police to believe that - he is mentally deranged.

AUTO TRUCKS DOOM CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

This has been the moat prosperous Christmas season storekeepers have enjoyed in years, and they give the

auto hack lines a large share of the ,

credit for the increased ousineaa. ior never in years have so many people from adjacent towns done their shopping in Richmond. The auto hacks are carrying out capacity loads at every trip and all of them have been forced to make extra trips. A number of them will run tonight in order to deliver shipments consigned to them, as they do not want any of the kiddies to think that Santa Claus has forgotten them.

STEALS XMAS CIGARS

Lawrence Schenk, 16, storekeeper at a local hotel, secured a supply of Christmas cigars, chewing gum, candy and other articles last night by entering a lunch stand on South Tenth street, operated by Mrs. T. B. Martin, after prying open the rear window of the stand. As he climbed out of the window with his loot he almost fell into the arms of Officer Wierhake. Today the youngster confessed tnat he had robbed the same place two weeks ago and had also looted a shoe shining parlor recently. Most of the articles stolen by the boy were found in his room in the hotel where he has been employed. Iron rings were used as money by the ancient Britons.

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 24. Margaret Wilkinson, who says she was betrayed

by a wealthy Richmond (Ind.) . widower, after he had promised to marry her, ran away from the Los Angeles Maternity hospital with her month-old

baby boy, and ihe police believe she has committed suicide. The woman informed Mrs. M. A. McKenxie, matron of the institution, that the man who promised to marry her had subsequently married another woman. She did not give his . name. According to W. T. Harris, superintendent of the maternity home, Margaret Wilkinson left the home before daylight, taking with her the baby boy and a pint of lysol. "She told men before she left that 'this life is hardly worth living,' said Superintendent Harris. The police were asked to have officers all over the city keep a lookout for the young mother, especially in the parks and cemeteries, for fear that she may go to some such place and take the lysol. The baby was born at the maternity home on November 10, according to the records produced by Superintendent Harris. Although a beautiful, healthy child, the infant was born with six toes on each foot. Superintendent Harris stated that the girl had come to Los Angeles recently from Crawfordsvllle, Ind. After ten years of experimenting a Massachusetts carpenter has built a small table that contains twenty-nine secret drawers.

CLAIMS ARE HELD UP

Township Trustee Edgerton announced today that no more claims against the township will be honored until the first of the year. Mr. Edgerton is working on his annual report and will have it ready to present to the advisory board by Jan. 5. The office of the township trustee will be closed tomorrow. The relief given this winter has been much less than In former years, owing In part to the favorable weather and to the fact that comparatively few men are out of employment.
