Burglars Were Frightened Away

Attempted to Enter Attorney Wedemeyer's Home

FLED IN THE DARKNESS

Police Are Notified But There is No Clue to Who the Men Are

     An ineffectual attempt was made by two men, probably burglars, to enter the residence of Attorney W. W. Wedemeyer, at 511 E. Kingsley street, about 1:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
     About that hour Mrs. Wedemeyer, who has been ill for several weeks, and who has been using a downstairs room in the house, so that she might not be fatigued by having to go upstairs, was suddenly startled by hearing noises at the back door of the house.  She called her nurse, who was sleeping in an adjoining room. When the nurse responded the noises had died away, and it was thought by Mrs. Wedemeyer that they were not of a character to indicate that anyone was attempting to enter the house. Mrs. Wedemeyer was considerably frightened, however, and the nurse remained with her.
     Soon the noises were heard again and from their sound it was apparent that someone was trying to break into the house. Mr. Wedemeyer was summoned by the nurse. He dressed hurriedly and came downstairs. As he opened the kitchen door her heard the hurrying footsteps of two men who were going in the direction of the street. After some investigation he found that the cellar door had been tampered with and that an effort had been made by the men to get into the house through the kitchen window.
     The attempted burglary was reported to the police Tuesday, but as no description of the men can be given by Mr. Wedemeyer it will probably be difficult to locate them.
     Lately Ann Arbor seems to be a stamping ground for notorious thieves who, coming here from outside cities get in their work and disappear before the police have any knowledge that they are in town.
