STILL THEY COME,
ANOTHER BURGLARY COMMITTED
THURSDAY NIGHT.
THE OFFICERS IN HOT PURSUIT
Fire Five Shots at the Fleeing Burglar
But Fail to Make an Arrest-Pooty
and overcoat Secured-Well
Known to the Police.

Another burglary was reported at
the police Office this morning and it
seems that the crooks of the city have
at present. mania for this sort of
crime. The officers OF the city Thurs
day night noticed a man coming down
the street at about II o'clock with a
set of hlrness over his shoulder. With
his hat well pulled down over his eyes.
he was not recognized by the officers.
However, Officer Kraft thought that it
was queer time for men to be carry
ing harness around and he decided to
stop the man. However, the man
wouldn't have it that way and started
to run away at Nancy Hanks gait
with Officer Kraft in hot pursuit. The
man proceeded Gin his hasty departure
down Market street, and just after he
passed Church street he decided to lay
aside the weights and he left the har-
ness behind. The officer didn't stop to
pick up the leather, but proceeded on
the chase after the fellow. At West
Main street the officer was tired out,
but Officer Lane took his place and
when the two officers were both we'll
worn out the man was still running
and seemed as fresh as when he start
ed Thinking that the officers were
gaining on him the man threw aside
his overcoat and changed his dog trot
to sprint and the officers gave up and
began firing at the fellow. Five shots
were fired by the officers, and as the
fellow has not yet been found it is
hardly thought that any of these shots
took effect. The officers returned and
gathered up the mans coat and the
harness and deposited them in the
police Office. Various members of the
crowd who collected followed the
burglar and say that he stopped at a
house near the Sterling factory. This
fact was reported to Officer Kraft and
he went out in that district and made
| inquiries at several houses, but none of
the residents admitted that they knew
anything of the man. The Chief took
the matter in hand this morning and it
was discovered that the harness be-
longed to an apple peddler named j.
Pacine, who lived just east of the
Grant House. The coat which the
officers confscated had a tag on it
showing that it came from Schmitz &
Lauer's, but on seeking information at
the clothing store little could be
learned from that source. The police
claim that the man is known and that
he is an old criminal who has been ar
rested for various crimes and has
served term in the states prison. He
is very cunning and has caused the
officers no end Of trouble by his daring
escapes from custody. He cannot be
found in any of his old haunts today
and the officers seem to be of the
opinion that he has left the city and
hope that the town is we'll rid of him.
This afternoon warrant was sworn
out for Lyman Morehouse for the act,
but he made good his escape and
left on an early train for Chicago. He
spent the night after giving the officers
the slip in Klipfels saloon on West
Main street He claims that the Off
GERS who shot at him wounded him,
one of the shots taking effect in his
left arm. 1t is hardly thought that an
effort will be made to catch him in
Chicago.
