An Exciting Chase That Ended In an
sAil Around Capture.
A cyclist had left his machine out
side a shop and he emerged just in
time to see man riding away on it.
Three other cyclists had put up for
refreshments close by. and one Of
their machines, a tandem. was seized
by the victim of the theft for the pur-
pose of pursuit. This haSty act was
observed by passing pedestrian, who
instantly and Indignantly mounted the
remaining machine and dashed after
the cyclist who was chasing the thief.
A second later the owner of the last
mentioned bicycle rushed wildly out.
and, seeing no other bicycle handy on
which 70 give chase. jumped into 4
cab. Here there were three men on
stolen cycles and the fourth man in q
cab all racing as if mad. The man on
the tandem finally caught the thief,
the next man caught him and the
next caught him. aud so on, until
there Was very complicated row.
In the end there was an explana-
ton. The thief was locked up and
ultimately sentenced for two months.
Evideniay his pride was more wound
Ell by The street episode than by the
sentence. for he boastfully declared
that no single man on tandem ever
would have caught him had he not
been riding in long trousers Elk.
