in South Chicago, where the Calumet
river empties into Lake Michigan.
Chief of Police Collins, baked in his
attempt to prevent the sailing Of the
gamblers on the Eagle, transferred his
forces to Ninety-second street and
posted them along the shore in such a
manner that it would have been prac-
tically impossible for any man from
the City Of Traverse or the Eagle to
set foot on shore and escape arrest.
Late in the day the Eagle steamed
into the harbor at South Chicago to
unload 200 men, who We're anxious to
reach the shore. AS soon as the boat
was inside of the first bridge i. was
swung behind it. With escape 10 the
lake cut off by the bridge, and no pos
sible chance of landing on shore, the
case of the gamblers for time looked
desperate. The Eagle circled around
and around in the harbor, footing its
whistle in frantic fashion for the
bridgetender to turn the bridge and
allow it to steam back into the lake.
Police Fooled Again.
The police stood on the shore and
laughed, feeling confident that it was
only question of time before the pas
sengers of the Eagle would be in their
power A small insignificant mud scow
happened along at this critical mo-
ment, however, and blew it's whistl,
as a signal for the bridge to open. The
bridge tender was compelled to swing
the bridge, and the Eagle, planting its
bow squarely in the stern of the mud
Scow, crowded it closely as it passed
thru the bridge, and then made a run
for the open lake and freedom. AS
soon as the police discovered the az
proach of the mud scow and realized
that the bridge must open they made
rush for the fire tug Yosemite, and
by the time the Eagle was entering the
waters of the lake, the tug Yosemite.
With policemen aboard was after them
The Eagle headed directly to-
ward the waters which are within the
jurisdiction of the state of Indiana,
and the Yosemite, which Is not built
for speed, came wallowing after. The
Eagle steadily drew away from the
tug, and after a run of ten miles the
police We're forced to admit that they
had no chance, and gave up the chase.
returned to South Chicago. The Eagle
continued its course, and landed at
Indiana Harbor, where all of Its pas
sengers made their way to Chicago by
train.
Before the arrival of the Eagle at
South Chicago a small launch named
the Panther, came in bearing a num-
Der of gamblers from the City 1,f Trav-
erse, and several fishermen. All the
passengers of the Panther were lined
up on the pier and compelled to stand
in heavy rain, while the policemen
weeded out the fishermen from the
"excursionists." Fourteen men who
could not prove that they had been
fishing were loaded into patrol wagons
and carried to the police station.
Chief Collins last night declared
himself disappointed by the escape of
the Eagle, but found some comfort in
the fact that the passengers of the
Panther had been gathered in. He de-
clared that they would be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. of
course" he said, 1--WE can dc nothing
when the boat is in Indiana waters, as
our authority does not go beyond the
city limits. But If the gamblers at
tempt to board the boat again tomor-
row, or at any time in the future, we
will arrest them at the dock before
they get near the boat"
