Top lambs 7c Bheep t $4.005.00 Snow this afternoon did not keep the belated shoppers at home and the downtown streets were crowded and every store along Main street was jammed, and the clerks were kept on the jump every minute. The anxiety of some of these shop pers is perhaps excusable. "Sallie Jones" has received a present from "Fannie Smith." Now she- did not expect "Fannie" to send her anything, but since she had done so she must re ciprocate, and she must do it in a hurry, for it would never do to let ."Fannie" know that she had forgotten her, and she flusters about, the stores i in ;in excited manner and has much I to do in causing a delay not only for j herself but for others. i I 1025 POUNDS MEAT COOKED BY ASYLUM WOMAN BATTLES ARMED BURGLAR BUT HE ESCAPES Mrs. William Holly, 32 South Tenth street, wife of a well known member of the Richmond group of artiste, yes terday afternoon fought with an armed burglar, believed to be a maniac, in the living room of her home: He finally overcame her and fled. She preceeded him out of the house, how ever, and screamed for help. - The thief got away, however. After his escape the plucky woman collapsed and it was some time before she recovered from the nervous shock. When two police officers, responding to an emergency call, reached the Holly residence Mrs. Holly was too hysterical to talk to them. The thief did not secure any valu ables. In fact he made no effort to take any although he had every op portunity to secure money,, rings, a watch and silverware, left exposed to view In the living and dining rooms. He only attempted to secure some dis carded wearing apparel which he found in a closet off the living room. Obtain No Clues. No trace of - the burglar has been secured by the police. They have a good description- of him, however. When Mrs. Holly recovered her com posure about an hour after her battle with the housebreaker, she gave Officer Vogelsong the following ac count of her experiences: Returning home from a shopping mission about 2 o'clock in the after noon she noticed two large sacks on the davenport in the living room. She opened them and found them to con tain clothing which had long been dis carded. Thinking some one intended to play a joke on her she called the name of a boarder she thought was in the house. Instantly a man rushed into the living room from the dining room. "His eyes glared like a maniac's but he didn't say a word, but he leveled a revolver at my head," Mrs. Holly said. She then told how she rushed toward the man and grap pled with him. She says she and the burglar struggled about- the living room for at least two minutes. Once he growled, "come in here" as he attempted to drag her to the dining room. She redoubled her efforts hut the thief succeeded in tripping ler. She fell to the floor. Then the man seized the two sacks, which Mrs. Holly had nearly emptied, making no effort to take her purse which had been placed at the side of the sacks, and darted to the front door. Mrs. Holly got out ahead of him and screamed for help. The thief ran past her and darted down an alley. It is believed he got aboard a west bound lnterurban car in West Richmond. The fact that the thief made no ef fort to take valuables found by him at the Holly home causes the police to believe that - he is mentally deranged. AUTO TRUCKS DOOM CHRISTMAS SHOPPING This has been the moat prosperous Christmas season storekeepers have enjoyed in years, and they give the auto hack lines a large share of the , credit for the increased ousineaa. ior never in years have so many people from adjacent towns done their shop ping in Richmond. The auto hacks are carrying out capacity loads at every trip and all of them have been forced to make extra trips. A number of them will run tonight in order to deliver ship ments consigned to them, as they do not want any of the kiddies to think that Santa Claus has forgotten them. STEALS XMAS CIGARS Lawrence Schenk, 16, storekeeper at a local hotel, secured a supply of Christmas cigars, chewing gum, can dy and other articles last night by en tering a lunch stand on South Tenth street, operated by Mrs. T. B. Martin, after prying open the rear window of the stand. As he climbed out of the window with his loot he almost fell into the arms of Officer Wierhake. Today the youngster confessed tnat he had robbed the same place two weeks ago and had also looted a shoe shining parlor recently. Most of the articles stolen by the boy were found in his room in the hotel where he has been employed. Iron rings were used as money by the ancient Britons.

Margaret Wilkinson, who says she was betrayed by a wealthy Richmond (Ind.) . wid ower, after he had promised to marry her, ran away from the Los Angeles Maternity hospital with her month-old baby boy, and ihe police believe she has committed suicide. The woman informed Mrs. M. A. McKenxie, ma tron of the institution, that the man who promised to marry her had sub sequently married another woman. She did not give his . name. According to W. T. Harris, superin tendent of the maternity home, Mar garet Wilkinson left the home before daylight, taking with her the baby boy and a pint of lysol. "She told men before she left that 'this life is hardly worth living,' said Superintendent Harris. The police were asked to have of ficers all over the city keep a lookout for the young mother, especially in the parks and cemeteries, for fear that she may go to some such place and take the lysol. The baby was born at the mater nity home on November 10, accord ing to the records produced by Super intendent Harris. Although a beau tiful, healthy child, the infant was born with six toes on each foot. Superintendent Harris stated that the girl had come to Los Angeles re cently from Crawfordsvllle, Ind.
