ing his residence secured the front
door and retired. On his arrival at
the house he found the front door
open, but supposed that it had been
left that way on acconnt of the warm
weather.

cession of screams that came from the
sleeping apartments of his daughter,
Miss Lura, who is 18 years of age.
A light was made and Mr. Baker
rushed to the young lady’s apart¬
ment to find her badly frightened,
but she was able to explain that a
burglar had made an attempt to
choke her as was evidenced by the
red finger marks on her throat.
