CHASE PAIR OF PANTS

Dummy.
Especial to THE T1MEs,)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, March 24.-A
pair of pants were holly pursued all
over Indiana Harbor yesterday, by
their owner, a foreigner who runs a
clothing store opposite Dave Ruscinfs
saloon on Cedar street The term
pants is used advisedly as the gar
ments were secondhand and original
ly did not cost over 81 and that is not
sufficient to put them in the trousers
class.
John Sabo is the style and title of
the gent whose eagle eye rested upon
the pants and who found the tempta-
ton to swipe them irresistible. John
is helper to Mike Rosman, who drives
a beer wagon for the Standard Brew
ing company from Whiting. Mike was
delivering some beer in the Ruscini
saloon, when John, who had been left
in charge of the wagon, began to yearn
for the pants. The helper was nom
chalantly rolling a cigarette, with a
far-away look in his eye. when he cast
a glance across the way, and tempta-
ton doomed up big within his vision
Believe me-" said John to himself
as the match he was scratching on his
own pants was broken off BY contact
with a patch, but them pants on that
there dummy do set we'll Me for the
pants" and suiting the action to the
words, he dropped from the wagon. cut
across the street, grabbed the pants
and made for the tall timbers.
The proprietor of the store, reinforc-
ed by officer John Weifenbach, We're
soon in hot pursuit. When the Indi-
ana Harbor railroad pumping station
was reached, John played hide and seek
with his pursuers, with such dexterity
and skill that he eluded them alto
gether, and up to the hour of going to
press no one in Indiana Harbor could
be found who was able to say whether
or no the stolen pants fit John as well
as they did the dummy.
