DENVER, Nov. 6.--Two masked burglars early today entered the home of Mrs. Mosconi on California street. After beating Mrs. Mosconi into unconsciousness they robbed her, chloroformed her, and while she lay unconscious in the kitchen, set fire to the house and made their escape. Mrs. Mosconi was found by her husband, who returned a few moments later, and removed her from the burning house. The incipient flames were quickly extinguished and under the care of the police surgeons Mrs. Mosconi was brought back to life. All the police in the city are working on the trail of the robbers, but the victim is still dazed and unable to give a complete description.
