ENTRANCE EFFECTED THROUGH WINDOW Man Searches Chain Irt and Appropri ates $10 Ix'avfs ItcsiriciK'e 1'n noticed--Lorn 1 Tak'nt Is Suspected. One of the most daring robberies pulled off in Hoseburg lor years, oc curred shortly after six o'clock last evening, when an unknown man en tered the home of V. A. Taylor, at 54u Pine street, ransacked the bed room of the residence aud appropri ated $40 in cash. Peculiarly, the robbery took place as the Taylor family were seated in an adjoining room partaking of supper. According to the ofiicers who in vestigated the uffuir, the robber raised the front window of tho-bedroom with a "jimmy" and crawled into the chamber. Ho then made a careful search of the interior, with mo result that he appropriated two gold pieces which Mrs. Taylor; had carelessly placed on a dresser. Willi the money in his possession he left the home, via the window roiue, unnoticed. . As the tamily were partaking of supper in an adjoining room one of the members mentioned something about hearing a peculiar noisa at the front of the house. Another mem ber of the inmily spoke up and said the confusion was probably caused by some passerby, and as a result the incident was forgotten. After partaking of supper Mrs. 'Tavlor went into tho bedroom, and was surprised' to find the window open. A further investigation reveal ed the fact that her money was miss ing. The officers believe that the rob bery was pulled ofr by local talent, and not by transients as some con tend. Last evening's robbery makes the twenty-fifth to occur in Hoseburg during the past few months. As yet not an arrest has been made, In Mexico City While Iluerta Continues War.

Condi tions in the Mexican capital are be coming critical. A fuel famine threat ens the city, as there are less than inoo tons of coal on hand, and no way of getting any more, while but 24,000 barrels of oil remain, and with this supply gone no more can be had until the situation clears. Business has been practically sus pended, hundreds of concerns are al ready bankrupt. In addition to these farts it appears that thousands In the city are suffering for food. Solon Get No Vacation.
