ARE LOOKING FOR HIM.
The police are using every EFFORT 20 io-
cate the old rascal that was seen on the
herino Flats yesterday by some young
mea The man, who IL at least 80 years
Old. was doing his utmost TO induce a girl
IL years OF age TO accompany him into
= little clunp Of bushes. But he was pre-
vented from doing 80 by me young men
who grabbed him. and the little girl, then
seeing her danger. ran away. Later in
the afternoon the police succeeded IN To-
eating the girl and tho young man who
had rescued her from the clutches OF
the old man.
The police have every reason TO believe
that they wifi get the old man before
night. for the girl and the young men
have a very good description OF him,
and he has so many peculiar features that
II will be hard for him TO escape. II
he IL caught the police have sufficient
evidence 90 press a, very serious charge.
Every member of the force was on the
lockout for him today.
