the officers and broke into a run. Day
started to head them off and Dyer
started after them. They darted be-
tween two houses, where the officer
could not follow on horseback and for
time were lost sight of. By making
a rapid detOur the officer came upon his
man running behind a trip of cars.
Mangan started down the track with
the officer galloping after. Just as he
was about to be overtaken Mangan
ran up the bank and took to the culm
domp. Dyer took a diagonal course and
by urging his horse succeeded in max
ing him climb the steep sides of the
dump.
AN EXCITING CHASE.
Then began an exciting chase across
the top of the huge black mound. Again
the horse came uD with the fugitive
and again he eluded capture by plung-
ing down the side of the dump. The
horse could not take direct course
and Mangan thereby gained another
lead. When horse and rider after
perilous descent finally reached the
ground Mangan had a start of 200
yards and was running like deer down
the Jersey Central track. Again the

the frenzied fugitive dashed up the
railroad embankment and down the
other side into the river. After him

on the opposite side and attempted to

where he had been left and again the
chase through the river took place.
Mangan gained the opposite side few
yards i'm advance of the officer, ran
along the bank and just as the officer
gained the shore plunged back into
the river again. This time the officer
galloped his horse into the water, forced
him as hard as he could go, and by
taking an oblique course came down
upon the now thoroughly fatigued flu
gitive with rush. Mangan turned upon
the officer, despite his threat to run
him down If he did not surrender, and
there in mid-stream in nearly four feet
of water a desperate battle ensued
1t was short lived. however. for with
a well directed blow from his club the
officer opened Mangans scalp and
caused him to stagger and reel like
drunken man. Once he sank but came
up, and half-waded and half-fell to
where the water was shallow where he
sank into a sitting posture with his
head clasped between his hands. a citi
zen who was watching the proceeding
from the river bank waded in and
dragged { 0e now subdued Mangan to
the bank where he was handcuffed.
After coming to full consciousness Of
