While patrolling his beat shortly af-
ter 6 o’clock Monday evening, Officer
Morehouse was advised that there were
two suspicious looking men on the
streets with a pair of ladies’ shoes,
which it was thought had been stolen.
The officer soon located his men and
followed them until they stopped in
front of Olsen Bro.s’ store, one stand-
ing in the entrance to the GAZETTE
building.
Both were intently watching the dis
play of shoes in frontVof Olsen Brothers’
and did not notice the ofiicer until he
laid hands upon the one in front of the
store just as he was about to steal a
pair Of shoes. V .
Officer Morehouse had previously re-
quested Irving Reed to catch the fel-
low standing in the GAZETTE building
entrance, and simultaneously with the
officer’ 3 at rest of one Reed grabbed his
man. The latter showed fight and' HIV
the scufile he attempted to throw the 13.-E
dies shoes which he had hid under his,
coat, behind one of the doors, but Coun-
cilman Fred Buckley, who happened to;
-be passing with ex-councilman Tris-V
tram, saw the act and the shoes were
, recovered and taken with the men to
'pOlice headquarters on Water street.
At headquarters the men were
searched, and in additian to an extra
black overcoat which one wore,
were found two pairs of black knit
gloves, and a pair of tan kid gloves, a
pair of black mittens, a black silk
mufiier, a key chain with two flat keys
and pair cf folding pocket scissors
attached to the key ring and a pocket
knife. Both had a pack of soiled
playing cards in their pockets.
After locking them up one of the
men threw acopy of a novel and a
pack of cards down the closet. The
novel was thought to have been stolen
from the news stand in front of John
T. Hayes’ on Main street.
The men were rather slippery look-
ing customers, and after giving them a
thorough searching, Officer Morehouse
handcu-fl'VVed them together and in com-
; pany with Reed sta1 ted them for the
Smith street leckup.
.1th after turning into Smith street,
It p-isoners made a dash for liberty,~
and gained some distance on the Vomcer,
but being handcufied one stumbled and
both fell which allowed the pursuerVVs to
gain on them.
’ They were quickly upon their feet,
however, and were again rapidly put-_
ting distance between themselves and
{he officer and had passed Hubbell’ s
lune beyond the look-up, when VVchey
'an'aiVnV tripped and fell.
As they struck the grOund George
Poole, who had fellowed down behind
the officer and his prisoners and had
joined in the chase, and who had suc-
ceeded' in getting ahead of the pu‘rsuing‘
party, fell upon them and hold both
down until Officer Morehouse and Reed
came up and recaptured them. .
Both were then taken back to the
lockup and placed in separate cells,
Officer ‘Morehouse cautioning Mrs.
Timothy Howard, wife of the jailer, to
toll her husband that they were dan-
genous and to keep an eye on them.
‘ About 11:30 o’clock the prisoners
called keeper Howard and requested,
him to allbw. them to come out into the
big tV'oom in which is a closet. Their,
request was complied with, and as
both men agreed to behave themselves, ,
keeper Howard went to bed and left
then in the ante room. '

Keeper Howard went down stairs be
found the door; tombs ante room and
disc? the front door open V.and. his,

dooraround the lockqand pushed the
lock back. Two bolts yt barred their

again used to burn a hole in the door
pushed back with the poker. ‘ _.
As the front door. was bolted on the
inside it was an easy ‘matter for them
to push the bolt blick and make their
escape, which they quickly did.
. One of the men gave his name as
James Tierney, but the other refused
to give his. One was abouts ' feet 6
inches tall, while the other was about

After the thief had secured all that
he desired, he made his exit by the

off taking the key and leaving the
door locked.
On Monday night about 11 o‘clock,
the residence of Mr. LaLande, a
wealthy New Yorker and a brother-in-
law of W. P. Eno, was entered by
a burglar, who after being discov-
ered, fired three shots at his pursnexs,‘
none of which however took effect.
A light was discovered in the La
Lands home about eleven o’clock by
Patrick O’Neill, who works upon the
Eno place, adjoining. He notified Ed-
ward and John Grant, who set out
for the LaLande residence. The burg-
lar either heard or saw them coming
and made a break. ‘
The Grants called to him to stop, but
instead he ran faster and they fired.
The burglar instantly turned and fired
three shots in succession at them.
W13,“ they 1ecove1ed from their sur-
prise the burglar had disappeared in

was notified and in company with
nightwatchman Dahlgren, they en-

VA search through the
house failed to reveal anything stolen.
It is thought that it is someone who is

and who lives in Saugatuck. But

FIVE DOLLARS AND A DAY.
What it Cost to Travel from N w Haven
to New York' 1n 1843.
Awhole day in time and 5 in fare
consumed in the trip from New Haven
to New York would scarcely fit com-
fortably with the day of fiyers, tele-
phones and two-cent railroad charges.
One would, nowadays, earnestly and
'strenuously kick against paying $3.75
for a bum petty stage ride from Bridge-
port to New York, our daddies
thought they were traveling in good
~stvle and-at moderate charges on
