STORE Amateur Raffles Frightened Away When Booty is in His Grasp. A daring attempt at burglary was committed during the night at the wtore of the Besse-Leland company on Malin street, and while the job is stridtly an amateur one, the energy of the would-be-burglar was notice- able. In effegling entrance through a door which leads to the checking-up department of the store, the guilty person had’ to break down several barriers to complete his task. The first obstacle was a heavy iron chain attached to a grated door, hy which means it is kept locked. With this no small task completed, the traces of his work indicate that he drilled several holes In the heavy door, and then completed tho task by sawing out sufficient room to per- mit him to crawl through. The entire task must have occupied considerable time and effort on tho parteof the intruder. Inside the building, the burglar at once commenced to array himself in a complete outfit. He secured just the sartorial attiro that suited him. He removed his shoes, but before he had further time to complete his disrob- ing act, a sound attracted his atten- tion. Without waiting to again don his shoes, or take a cap which was found this morning by the police, Mr. Burglar made his escape. In looking over tne grounds this morning, the police found a 38-cali- ber revolver besides a can of liquid fluld, which was af first thought to be nitro-glycerine, but which turned out deadly than a com- and was known as canned heat. Noth- | ing of value was taken from the store. ‘The police are at work on several elues, Shortly before 10 o'clock last night, the police were notified that an at- tempt had been mado to effect an en- trance into a store at 13 Lafayette street. The attempt was frustrated.
