rab him by the collar. In the fight we both fell through the glass door at the front of the store and the d--n rascal got away." A young woman, who was pass- ing the store, seeing the fracas, screamed and started to run after the young man. She followed him until he ran into a sa- loon. Then she ran up to Policeman Brown, who was standing at the corner of 97th st. and Sixth-av and told him that a robber had gone into the saloon. The po- liceman ran into the saloon, but found the man had left by the back stairs. The po- liceman followed up two flights of stairs leading to the roof, on the run, where he found Weber hiding behind a chimney. Weber refused to give his address. After watching until she saw the robber taken away in the paddy-wagon, the doughty young woman disappeared. Her name is unknown. ---------- VI A burglar dressed in a Salvation Army uniform was arrested for attempting to burglarize Walter White's home, 16 West 62nd st. at about two o'clock last night. He gave his name as Julius Woll and his address as 129 23rd ave. The caretaker at Walter White's said he was awakened at 1 o'clock by the noise of bureau drawers opening and he at once phoned to the station. An officer came and found the would-be burglar under the bed. After considerable scuffling the man was arrested and taken to the station. The Salvation Army denied any connec- tion with the prisoner but the landlady at his address said he had two uniforms and always wore one. He also carried a prayer book under his arm whenever he left his room. She also said that he had resided in her house for six weeks and owed four weeks board; also that he had not been there for two weeks. Inquiry proved that he was out regularly until three or four in the morning.
