AWAKENED WOMEN SCREAM AND FRIGHTEN AWAY THIEF
Valiant Neighbor, Clad in Night Clothes, Rushed to Porch with Rifle to Capture Burglar
The screams of several women frightened away a burglar who had entered the home of Mrs. M. E. Hoover, 925 Euclid avenue, early yesterday morning, and he escaped without securing anything of value. The same person, it is thought, entered the home of Edwin m. Van Voorhis, directly opposite, but so far nothing of any value has been missed.
While he was ransacking the Hoover home Mrs. Hoover and her daughters, Miss Lida and Mrs. J. Scott Sayre, were awakened by the noise and began to scream. In addition to frightening away the robber their cries awakened several neighbors, and one man, clad only in his night clothes, rushed out on his front porch with a rifle and attempted to capture the thief.
