Jacob Lange, OF Birch street, was ar
rested last night by Patrolmen Schmidt
ana Sartor, after an exciting struggle.
The arrest of Lange was the most
exciting South Scranton has witnessed
In many years. A forerunner OF the
arrest was the dashing up and down
and across the streets Of the Eleventh
and Nineteenth wards of Lange's
brother and another fellow. Their mad
dened chase was inspired by their de-
sire to locate a patrolman. Finally,
after exciting the populace to the high
est pitch, the excited Mr.. Lange met
Lieutenant of Police Zang and PATROL
men George Jones, F'laherty, Gescheidle,
Schmidt and Sartor near the intersec-
ton of Alder street and Pittston ave-
nue.. After listening to the story told
in an excited fashion, the officers re-
paired to a barn nearby and arrested
the much wanted Jacob. When searched
at the station house, two Spanish
knives and full box of cartridges
were found in the pockets of the pris-
oner.
He was a member Of the Eleventh
United States infantry during the late
war. and has been in the city but three
weeks. The prisoner will be arraigned
for hearing this morning before AL
derman Storr.
