man working earnestly at the lock-
It appeared that lie had a pair of
small plyers, which he was endeavor

key happened to be in the lock, from
the inside and it is believed that the
intruder was trying to nip the cud
of the key from the outside with
the small pliers and turn the lock.
The intruder was permitted to
work at the lock for a brief period
when the doctor walked up to the
door and rapped on the glass. Rush
ing back to the front window he saw
the big fellow dashing up the street
at urealc neck speed.

a minute description was obtained.
