CHASE TO BURGLAR
AFTER DASH DR. TYCE FACES
OWN REVOLVER
Entrance to Residence Gained in
Mysterious Manner, and Sev.
eral Articles of Value
Are Stolen
PASADENA, Jan. IS.—Confronted by
the mtnii.. is of the household returned
unexpectedly at about 4 o'clock, a day
light burglar jumped from the second
story.window of the home of Dr. R. a.
284 South Madison avenue, and
In spi'e of injuries sustained, stood on*
Dr Tyco with the doctor's own re
volver" and finally made his escape
after a dash aero»« several back yarns
and through the McKinley school
grounds.
Dr. Tyce has a handsome establish
ment on South Madison avenue. This
afternoon he and Mrs. Parish, mother
of Maxneld Parish, the artist and il
lustrator, and an attendant, for Mrs.
Parish is not well, went out for an
automobile ride. Mrs. Parish became
cool and the party returned for wraps.
Mrs. Parish found her room had been
ransacked, some valuaLles being miss-
Ing. She stepped on the porch and
called the doctor, who was still in the
machine and just then a short, thick
set man opened one of the upper win
dows of the house, jumped about twen
ty feet to the ground and started to
run around to the rear of the house.
Dr. Tyce was instantly in full pur
suit, and as the man had evidently
hurt himself by his jump, the medical
man was fast overtaking him when the
burglar, brought to bay. turned and
drew Dr. Tyce's own revolver which
he had found in the house. "Coma an
other step," shouted the man. "and
I'll blow your brains out."
Dr. Tyce jumped into the shelter of
the garage and the burglar, seeing he
■was not followed, scaled a fence and
ran eastward through back yards. He
reached the street, dashed across the
McKinley school yard and down an
alley.
He was evidently hurt, for he stopped
at a barn and asked the owner if he
could go in and rest. -He was ordered
away by the proprietor of the barn
who, of course, knew nothing of the
burglary. Then the burglar proceeded
to the southeast and all trace o* him
wns lost.
One of the remarkable things nhout
the case is that there is no trace ef
the way in which the man entered the
house. All the windows save the one
from which the rrmn Jumped were
found locked and he could not have
climbed in by the window ttmugh
which he made his exit. The doors
were also locked and the front door
has a Yale lock, so that a skeleton
kay would not have opened it.
Even in his flight the burglar did not
drop the few things of value he had
hnil time to find. He took with him
five or six dollars in money, a KOld
coin watchcharm and several other
things. While ransacking the house
the man had discovered n knife used
for erasing purposes, the keen blade of
which had evidently cut him badly,
for traces of blood were found nil over
the house and the knife point was
smeared with blood.
The robbery of the house of Dr. Tyce
was followed by an equally daring at
tempt on the home of D. G. Forbush.
66:! Arbor street, at 5:30 o'clock this
afternoon. Entrance was gained hy
breaking the glass out of the front
door and the robber, who got clean
arniy, took with him two antique stick
ptns, three smaller pins, a revolver and
about $3 in money.

The fire is supposed to have started
under the eaves of the roof from elec
trio wires. It spread with remarkable
rapidity, there beinp no adequate water
■Upply. The South Pasadena new
chemical engine was summoned, but
before it reached the spot there was
no hope of saving the building and
so attention was turned to saving the
handsome home on the west, the Allen
house st.iiuling on a corner flanked
by two big houses.
Aid was asked from Pasadena and
the new automobile chemical was
lushed to the spot. This engine suc
ceeded, with the aid of a bucket bri
gade, in saving the adjoining houses
tv the north on Fair Oaks, though this
home was badly scorched.
All the members of the home except
Dr. Allen were "in the house when the
lire started and with the aid of neigh
bors much of the furniture on theflrst
lioor was carried out, but the spread
of the flames was so rapid that noth
ing on the second floor or in the rear
of the house could be removed.
The house had twelve rooms and was
pretty well covered by Insurance.

GOOD FORTUNE UNKNOWN
TO INMATE OF TOMBS
Son.in.Law of "Lighthouse Dan"
Kelly Will Receive $25,000
When Released
NTW YORK, Jan. 13.—Frederick
Milner occupies a (floomy cell in the
Tombs prison, ignorant of the fact
that through the death of his wife,
Margaret Kelly Milner, one of the four
daughters of "Lighthouse Dan" Kelly',
on Tuesday, he will inherit $25,000
when he is released. •
His present predicament is due to a
complaint made against him by his
wife, from whom he had been separ
ated for some months. He was a waiter
in a hotel at Classon Point and one
evening early last month Mrs. Milner
and Joseph P. Schwab of No. 281 Burn
side avenue, a friend, entered the
P On- the following morning Milner
called upon Schwab and quarreled
with htm. The latter and Mrs. Milner
summoned Milner to court and he
was sent to the workhouse on Black
well's island for six months Recently
"he was transferred to the Tombs.
Mrs. Milner became ill a few weeks
ago and went to the Red Cross.hos
pital Central Park West and One
Hundredth street. She was suffering
from appendicitis and died on lues
day Her funeral was held yesterday
from her home, No. 305 East One Hun
dred and Sixty-first street.
Mrs, Milner died intestate Her hus
band/ who did not learn of her death
until yesterday, was not informed ol
the fortune that will fall to him when
he regains his liberty. ... ...»
Tliat fortune is a share of the $100,
--000 that Daniel Kelly lett to his four
daughters on his death in 1896. He
made most of the money in the con
tracting business. in which he en
gaged after his removal from the po
sition of lighthouse keeper on North
Brother island. For twenty year*
"Lighthouse Dan" was a famous char
acter He saved many lives during
his tenancy of that stone tower and
it nearly broke his heart when political
influences dictated his removal in July,
1890." , ' .
UNCERTAINTY
• Every development of the system of
insurance means some more uncer
tainty abolished. Is all uncertainty
doomed, then? Quite possibly It is.
This was created a world of uncer
tainty, in the view that character > Wl
ettts where people are kept guessing.
But we've long outgrown the crude no
tion that the making of character Is o.
any considerable Importance as com
pared with eating and getting rlin
quick.
The possibilities of Insurance are not
as yet so much as suspected, let alone
explored. Incredible as it may seem,
the day is probably coming when even
a woman of uncertain age will have
but to take out the right policy in or
der to become, by the elimination o£ all
uncertainty, younger than ever.—
