Anoka, Mimi, March 9.-After an
exciting early morning chase, Gust

unteer posse yesterday and turned
over to the Anoka chief Of police, in
whose custody the prisoner will re-

lin, Hennepin county.
Hubscher, who is employed in the
Anoka county asylum bakery, is said
to be a paroled prisoner of the state
~reformatory. Until about a week ago
he had been employed in a Minneap'
oils bakery.
Last night Hubscher attended a
dance at Champlin, and, according to
his version of the affair, he drank too
much liquor and became irresponsible.
He was seen to enter the Miller gro
Gerry store, in which the p%ostofhce is
located. through a basement window.
Later he was e to emerge, and the
watchers, joined by a group OF men
who drove up opportunity, gave
chase.
Hubscher struck out at a terrific
pace, crossed the bridge and contin-
ued on through the sanitarium
grounds, but the pursuers gained
steadily on him n at last he was
captured, but only after a struggle.
Although the prisoner is said to
than cigars from the store, he will be
prosecuted by the federal authorities
because of the location in the building
of the %postofice.
