perado style man supposed to be Z.
+. Cole assaulted and attempted to rob
P. G. McGloin in his saloon at "a
Adams street, in the heart Of the bust
ness district OF Chicago, during the
evening. After seriously wounding
McGloin the thief escaped and made
the most remarkable race for liberty
ever seen in the streets OF Chicago.
After firing into the mob that pursued
him and seriously wounding three
citizens he was run down and killed by
Officer Rosenthal opposite the entrance
Of the Auditorium on Congress street.
McGloin was alone in his saloon when
Cole entered and ordered glass OF
beer. This was served to him, and he
then asked the saloonkeeper to get him
some meat that he claimed to have left
in the ice box of the saloon. McGloin
walked to the entrance of the ice box.
and Cole, drawing a revolver, ordered
him to go inside and stay there. Nc
Gloin turned and
Struck the Kobber in the Face,
nearly knocking him down. The two
men then clinched and fought desper-
ately. Cole managed to get one arm
free and with his revolver pounded Nc
Gloin viciously, inhicting three severe
wounds on the head. The robber then
broke loose from McGloin, and, run
ming to the front entrance OF the Sd
loon, turned west on Adams street.
Although bleeding profusely, McGloin
followed and was only few steps be-
hind, when the thief turned into
O'Brien's saloon at "a Adams street,
and, still holding the revolver in his
hand, ran out of the rear door on
Quincy street. He then turned east
and at State street boarded south
bound cable car. McGloin was still
close upon him, however, and Cole,
seeing that he could not shake off his
pursuer, ran through the car and con-
tinued his flight south on State. Sew

and, after running one block on Jack
son street, Cole fired one shot into the
crowd, which failed to hit anybody.
The flight and pursuit then turned to-
wari Wabash avenue and south upon
that street. Officers Rosenthal and
DAILY, in citizens clothing, were walk
ing on Van Buren, street just as Cole,
closely followed by the bleeding saloon
keeper and crowd of citizens, ran
across the street going south. They at
once joined in the chase, and, as Cole
was badly winded by this time, they
rapidly came up with him. Half way
between Van Buren, street and Con-
eress street Rosenthal was close upon
his man and ordered him to surrender.
Cole replied with a shot and the bullet
tore through. the stomach Of III. M.
Sternberg, who was among the leaders
of the pursuit Just before reaching
the corner of Congress street the officer
fired at the fugitive, who returned the
compliment.
The Officers Bullet Went Wild,
but that of Cole brought down Sam
uel Stone, another OF his pursuers,
with a ball through the leg. Rosen-
thai fired a second time, and this
time Cole staggered. He contin-
ued to run, however, and turning
the corner, ran east on Congress
street until he was directly in front of
the entrance to the great Auditorium
theater, where he fell. He died within
two minutes without saying word.
