MUI MAKES II GOOD HAUL Enters Home of W. J. Streight and Secures Ten Dollars and Three Watches. A burglar last night entered the home of W. J. Streight and secured iooty to the extent of some ten dol lars in cash and three gold watches. The man was seen as he crossed Main street after the raid by Mr. Vallery and Mr. Melslnger from the country and is quite easiy Identified by their descriptions. The police were noti fied by Mr. Streight of the robbery Immediately after It happened and at once Bet out in pursuit of the mis creant. A search of the Burlington yards was instituted by Officers Henry Trout and H. M. Young as sisted by MessrsA Melslnger and Val lery and the man was found. He was met by Mr. Trout who covered hlra with his revolver and proceeded to search him. The pocket book belong ing to Mr. Streight was taken from the man and Officer Trout proceed ed to examine It. He had a card In the book which the officer started to read when the fellow made a sud den leap down the bank into the Missouri bottom. Officer Young was supposed to Lave him covered with his revolver while Trout was search ing him but ho seems to have failed and the man made good his escape, although Trout emptied his gun into the weeds where he had disappeared. The man was taken near the pump house and about one half mllo north of the llurllngton Btation. Chief Ralney and Sheriff Qulnton were sent in pursuit of the fleeing man toward Oreapolls but they found no trace of him. Officer Trout was sent down toward the ferry to watch the escape in that direction but the man never showed up. He Is described as a short, heavy set man with striped pants and the description given the sheriff Is so complete as to lead to the belief that he will be apprehend ed. The work of Messrs. Vallery and Melslnger was much appreciated by the police as they did a lot of good work and realiy furnished the police with the right Information as to who to look for. This was the only serious crime perpetrated In the city during the day. LLMWOOP. (Leader-Echo.) Mrs. Ed. Huffman of Ashland, vis ited this week with her parents, Mr. nd Mrs. Wm. Buster.

Final ly as a lust resort Mr. Waddy resolved o take Craighead and Mrs. Grnyblll ond go to the south to settle the whole problem. Thus It was that the three were at Palmetto Beach when Captain Ilarrod with the launch passed through Strong's bayou with Irglnla and Mrs. Stott on the way to the cabin where the first Carson aeronef was preparing for Its delayed flight north.

The man In distress seemed to throw something like a lasso over the nacelle of the airship, and the great bird rose slightly, as if to be safe from the billows.
