with a double barrel shot gun. Cher
okee Bill AMI the other citizen, both
of whom live near the canal at the
foot of Ninth street, were suddenly
seen hot footing it up Ger the hill
Sunday morning with Cherokee Bill
about one hundred yards in the rear
and with a double barrel snot gun in
his possession. The man pursued at
tempted to gain entrance to one of the
avenue residences and thus escape the
vicious intent of the pursuer, if that is
what it was according to people in
that vicinity. The pursued was favor |
ed by fortune for the gun Of Chero- |
kee Bill was without ammunition and
reports are that he remained in the
middle of Grand Avenue on Ninth |
long enough to load the gym. BY the
time he resumed the chase his would
be victim was some distance away and
it was impossible to locate him He
made good his escape and t-us far has
escaped injury. The little incident !
was one OF very excitable nature and
residents in that part Of the city were
greatly alarmed.
