Linch and his pal were leaving the

Willis pursued Linch and ran him
into the arms of Officer Pike, who
took him in charge and to the police
station.
Then an exciting chase commenced.
Willis set out for the other man and
chased him to Division street.
Up the street went the officer and
culprit at lively pace. Willis saw
he was going to lose the footrace and
pulled his gun Just as his man went
tearing across the tracks.
He fired and evidently struck his
man. for he staggered, but only for
an instant. Then he set out again
and when the officer arrived at the

At the station the man arrested by
