The Norwalk police, at an early hour
this morning. rounded up two burglars
' whom they believe are members of the
gang that has been systematically
robbing residences and stores in this
Vicinity, the past two weeks. They
were loaded with bags of plunder,
which they had secured from H. S.
Brown's shoe store and Jesse Brun-
dage's meat market in mist Norwalk.
The young men are John Tanner and
Ward Phillips, well known local char-
j it is thought that the store of Mr.
Brown. in Bohaanan's block. in East
, Washington street. was first entered
Tanner and Phillipa. A large plate
, . window in the rear of the store
i was broken out, and the fastener turn-
, ed. enabling the til eves to enter the
, rear room by crawl ng over the work
bench of William Twins. who is em-
ployed in the store. several pairs of
shoes were taken from the shelves in
the. store and from the display win-
dow. in their haste to get away, the
youths matched up a wrong pair of
shoes. taking one patent leather and
one calf skin shoe. Nothing else was
reported missing by Mr. Brown.
The store of Mr. Brundage. which
g has been broken into several times be»
fie. was next visited by the burglars.
e fastener on the east window was
broken. Among the articles missed by
Mr. Brundage was his revolver, a box
of cigars. a box of candy. several boxes
of dried beef. sardines. and a section
. of fresh meat. Mr. Brnndage had
Abeen expecting a visit from burglars
ever since they began their late oper-
ations in town. andmlade a practice of
staying in the store until nesrly'lz
o'clock every night. Last night he
left shortly after 11 o'clock. and plac-
ed his revolver in a drawer of the desk
in the once. His bicycle was alsd left
me store. something he very seldom
it is supposed that Tanner and Phil-
lipa. after their night’s job. went up
East avenue. While Ofilcer William
S. Bartram was patrolling in the vi-
cinity of North avenue, early this
morning. he saw two men approaching
with bags on their shoulders. it was
quite foggy, and he could just dis-
tinguish them in the distance. The oi-
ficer kept in the background to await
developments. The men crossed the
street and were heading up Camp
street when the ofhcer confronted
them. He grabbed young Tanner and
turned to take Phillips, when the lat-
ter Jumped aside and started on a run
up Camp street. The officer quickly
drew his revolver and fired at him,
but missed, and the man made his es-
cape In the fog.
Officer Bartram brought his prison-
er.ewho proved to be John Tanner, to
the Norwalk Police Headquarters and
locked him up in one of the steel cag-
es. lt was then nearly 3 o'clock.“-
ter a short conference Ohicer John H.
Kenney started for Lockwood's Hail.
,where Ofilcer Hunt and Special Officer
Thomas Leatherland were guarding
the loan exhibit of the Norwalk His-
torical Association. He secured the
services of Officer Hunt and a rubber
tired turnout from the livery stables
to go in pursuit of Phillips.
Tanner was badly scared when the
bag was opened and his plunder from
Mr. Brown's shoe store dumped out
in front of him. He wanted to do any
thing to get out of the scrape. He of-
fered to accompany the officers on a
hunt. for Phillips. but the police had
already spotted him and Phillips as
suspicious characters, and knew their
haunts as well as they did themselves.
' It was at last deemed advisable to let
Tanner accompany them. and the par-
ty started out with Howard Godfrey
as driver. Officer ilunt on the front
seat, and Ofiicer Bartram and Tanner
handcuffed together on thh back seat.
They drove up Camp .street and across
to the West Rocks road where they
visited the resilience of John Gorham.
it being known that the‘ young men
hung out in that locality.
They searched the barn first and
found the bag of plunder belonging .0
Phillips hid in the hay. inside were
the goods stolen from Mr. Brundage's
meat market. Phillips was nowhere
in the barn. The ofilcers ,visited the
house. which they searched high and
low, but to no avail. The corn crib
was next visited. and here PbilllDa
was found asleep. As Officer Hunt
aroused him he made a grab fora thir-
ty-two calibre revolver which he had
in his side pocket, but thc officer was
too quick for him. and quickly had him
handcuffed.
The officers and the risoners then
drove back to the pol e station and
the prisoners were locked‘up in the
steel cases
As soon as the prisoners were tak-
'cncareof.0lloerHuntwenttoEaat
Norwslk to notify Ilr. Brand-go that
he had been robbed and asked him to
go up town and identify the plunder.
He did so. and also identified the re-
volver which Phillips had as belong.
ing to him.
lathe meantime the horwalk police

had telephoned to South Novvralk that
Mr. Brown's shoe store has been rob-
bed. an admission having been red
from Tanner that his plunder e
from that place.
Both Mr. Brown and Ir. Brundage
went up town at 9 o'clock to attend
the hearing. but it was not called. and
III” In over until tomorrow. ._
. The prisoners deny that they have
any accomplices. but the police are
making a thorough investigation.
The police nave every reason to be-
lieve that all of the recent burglaries .
can be traced to these two young men.
and are engaged in looking up evi-
dence for that purpose.
Phillips is a member of Company L.
Third Regiment. and at onetime was
wanted as a deserter, being absent
without leave for a number of weeks.
He has no home and. for several
months has been hanging around witn
young Tanner. Neither did any work.
but hung about all sections of the
town and were‘ looked upon by the po-
lice as bad characters.
Young Tanner is a son of Mrs. Mary
Tanner, of Main street. Norwalk. and
has caused his rather many sleepless
nights. He at not left home entirely
and has since been running 'wild. Ever
since a small boy he has been In num-
erous thieving scrapes and early in
life earned the sobriquet of Mrs. 'l‘an-
ner's bad boy Johnnie.
Mrs. Tanner called upon her son at
the police station. this mornig. but of-
fered him no consolation. She ap-
peared blad that at last he had been
apprehended and was at last where
she_would not have him to worry ab-
out.
Tanner is nearly twenty years or
age, while Phillips is nearly twenty-
one.
Tanner. who has a mania for steal-
ing bicycles and selling them. remark-
ed this morning that lf there had been
another one in Mr. Brundage's store
he certainly should have taken them,
but that one was of no use to two men.
The bicycle which Chief of Ponce
Volimer captured some time ago when
young Tanner ran away from Water
street, South Norwaik. it was learned ‘
later. belonged to J. J. Flynn. of nor-
by. Tanner had been working for him.
but skipped out, leaving an unpaid
board bill and taking his employer’s
wheel. This Tanner sold later to
Charles L. James. of Connecticut ave-
nue. it has since been sent back to
the owner in Derby. Tanner is a hard
character. and should be sent to jail
for a long term.
Prosecuting Attorney E. M. Lock-
wood questioned the prisoners closely
at police headquarters. this morning.
and the authorities admit that they
have owned up to numerous other
burglaries though they will not specify
as to what they are at this writing.
At all events the prisoners admitted
enough to cause Officers Hunt and
Bartram, shortly before noon. to se-
cure a team and take the prisoners
with them and drive out In the coun-
try. . .
The police deserve great credit for
the manner in which they have band-
led the case and it is believed that
some interesting developments will be
brought to light before they complete
their work.
Both prisoners have been inmates of
the State Reform School.
Shortly after noon touay the officers
returned with a wagon load of plun-
der belonging to the store of Joaelovs-
ky & 00., which was burglarlxed Sun-
day night The goods were found as-
creted in an old burn on the West
Rocks road near the Gorman resi-
dence, where Phillips was found In
hiding.
Mr. Joselovsky has been summoneu
to identify the goods.
II. SW3 NEW 3103!.
Enlarged and Renovated and Stacked
with Bright New My Gaels.
When the curtains of Edward K.
Banks's enlarged and rejuvenated dry
goods store. in the Mahackemo Hotel
block. roll up next Saturday morning.
one of the brightest and most modern
stores In that line in The Norwalks
will be presented to view.
Mr. Banks has doubled the size of
his old store by convertingfilo his use
the store adjoining formerly occupied
by Davis a Son. the clothi‘ers. The
partition separating them has been re-
moved. a metal ceiling put on. new
shelving and new counters installed.
and the store fitted with other appur-
tenances for carrying on business ac-
cording to the moat approved methods
known to the dry goods-trade.
While these improvements were go-
ing on the stock was shifted from pil-
lar to post. Mr. Banks intends to clean
out these old goods as quickly as possi-
ble by giving a feast of bargains
throughout the whole store. At the
same time he will make the opening of
his store memorable to the shopping
public by placing on sale a new stock
of dry goods that will be a revelation
both in quality and price. and in their
up—to-dateness.
The enlargement gives him four
expansive windows for displaying
goods. and they will be utilised to the
best advantage.
Mr. Banks. after becoming proficient
in the dry goods business and popular
as a salesman with some of the older
firms in town. branched out for him-
self. and while he has not made much
of a hurrah about it. he can prospered
until he now stands among the load-
ing dry goods merchants of Norwaik.
With facilities which he never before
possessed. for doing a much larger
trade. Mr. Banks proposes to put new
life had energy into the business and
give South Norwalk a store of the first
rank.

llassar Prisoner-s Safely at Pretoria-
Dispatshaavsre Contradictory, list
Situation of the British Gives
Cause for Deep Anxiety.
London, October 2ti-Th‘e despatches
from the front today were so diversi-
fied and contradictory that it was im-
possible to outline the situation with
any degree of exactitude. Three or
four main facts, however. stood out
prominently. General Symons fight at
Glencoe was not anything like the de-
cisive victory at first alleged and Gen-
eral Yule would in all probability have
been annihilated or have met with the
same fate as the captured Hussars if
he had not. retreated.
General White's artillery duel at
Rietfontein was a very severe engage-
ment in which the rifle did great exe-
cution and where success was only
achieved at a‘dlstreaslng cost. The
bombardment of Mafeking has com-
menced with unknown result. and the
Boers have got their Hussar prisoners
safely to Pretoria.
Altogether the campaign is being
pushed by the Boers so strenuously
and on such strategicai lines that the
situation of the British must in all
probability give cause for deep anxiety
for some time to come. it is difficult
to see how the concentrated force at
Ladysmith will be able to take. the ag-
gressive immediately. Apart from the
fatigue. regiments like the Gordon
Highlanders and Royal Rifles have
been practically without ofilcers since
the fight. and one hundred and thirty—
five. additional officers have been order-
czlmto leave England as speedily as pos-
s e.
An official British account of the
lighting at Bietfontsin given out at
Cape Town says: "The one y posted
a battery two miles south 0 odders-
pruit and opened with infantry fire at
long range on the British advance
guard. consisting of the Nineteenth
Hussars. This was followeu by artil-
lery fire directed with considerable ac-
'curacy against the British guns. An
action lasting six hours ensued at Riot-
fontein farm. The enemy were driven
from the hills commanding the roads.
Sir George White's object being ac-
complished the column returned to
ladysmith. The enemy Ia believed to
have suffered. Several Boers own of-
ficially that they lost over 100 killed
at Elundsluagte. Thrce hundrcd pri-
soners. wounded and unwoundcd. arc
in thc hands of the British. including
several of high positions. The Trans-
vaal force defeated at Elandslaagte was
the Johannesburg Corps.
Other accounts dwell on the severity
of the rifievfirc at Beitfonicin. They
say that when the Boers finally retreat-
ed the Lancers cut them off from their
horses and inflicted severe loss on
them. The retreat endeu in a general
route. it was announced today in a
despatch from Ladyamith. dated Octo—
ber 23. that strong reinforcements of
infantry and artillery had arrived
there from Pietermaritzburg. it was
also reported that the Boers were again
massing near Elandslaagte and that a
Free State force. several thousand
strong. was occupying Beaters Station.
Advices from Cape. Town today show
that the assembly at Putiatsu River
was attended by all the principal Ba-
suto chiefs. The resident commission-
cr. Sir Godfrey Lagdon. was present.
The action of the paramount chief Lero
lothodl. in pledging the nation's loyal-
ty was emphatically connrmcd by the
chief. urging the claim that they be rc-
garded as the queen's soldiers and he
allowed to share in Great Britain's
struggle. Three cheers were given for
the queen by thousands of natives‘ed
by I rothodi.
T British commissioner discour-
aged the idea that the l.l‘ltlSll requir-
ed assistance and bade the chiefs quell
excitement and beware of false reports.
There Is little news from the western
border. The cordon around Kimberley
is drawing closer. but hopes are ex-
pressed that a flying column will short.-
Iy be sent to its relief. id
The Boers have occupied Windsort-
on. an unprotected town. The magia~
trate. with the consent of the inhabi-
tants, surrendered on demand. condi-
tional upon the lives and property of
the people being respected. it is al-
leged, however. that the Boers refused
to respect the property of absentees.
There is intense anxiety for further
news from Mafcking. where it is .be-
ileved a number of officers who were
supposed to be on furlough joined Col-
onel Baden-Powell.
The Portuguese authorities have re-
conducted over the Transvaal border

ors whom the Boers released from their
jails and turned loose In Portuurose
