THIEVES FIND THE DRIVER IN Result Is That ttempt to Rob tbe Pacific Express Office Is . a ' Failure. Evidently unaware of the fact that one of tho employes slept there, thieves at tempted to break Into the office ot the Pa cific Express company on South Main street Monday night. They were frightened away by Bert Wise, one of the drivers, who sleepa In the office at ntght. Falling to open the lock of the lde door opening on the alley, the thieve commenced to cut out a oanel next the lock when frightened away by Wise, who had been awakened by the noise of the sawing.' Wise waa awakened about 1 o'clock by hearing someone trying to fid a key In the lock on the aide door. He aecured hla re volver and waited for developmenta. The lock I of the Yale pattern and the key the thieves had failed to wotk. Then they commenced to saw a hole In the door close to the lock, and by thla time Wise thought It prudent to Interfere. Stepping toward the door with hi loaded revolver, he asked who waa there and threatened to bore a hole through the door. The worda were barely out of hi mouth when he heard footsteps running down the alley. Opening the door, he was Just in time to see two men turn the corner Into Fourth street. The akeleton key, made of brass, with which the thieves had failed to open the lock, was found on the door sill. On the tanel of the door next the lock were marks where they had begun to saw a hole through. Wise remembered seeing1 a man loafing in tho alley near the office at the time he went to aupper, but paid no atten tion to him. Later in tbe evening Wise went to lodge and on returning noticed the same fellow, with a compaLlon, again In the alley, but the circumstance at the time did not strike him aa being atrange ant . oe retired to bed without giving It anj I thought. He waa able to give the police a fairly good description of the men he saw In the alley and they are aaid to be work ing on s clew. The millinery stors of Mi Anna Moor on Broadway waa broken Into Monday ntght and, the police are of the opinion, by the same men who attempted to break tnta the express office. The thieves obtained entrance to the millinery atore "by forcing in the back door leading Into the alley, which waa only secured by a bolt. The cash drawer waa opened and placed on the counter, but the thlevea got nothing for their trouble, aa there waa no money In It except a dime, which they evidently over looked. Not being after millinery, tba thlevea did not touch any of th stock. . Matters la District L'oart.

Tbe attorneys for Henry Lock, who se cured a judgment against the city for $500 for persoral Injuries received aa a result ot a fall caused by a defective atdewalk, filed their motion for a new trial yesterday.
