GIVES POSSE EXCITING CHASE
Giant Baker at Anoka Hospital Is
Locked Up on Charge of Rob.
ing P0stOfice.

Anoka, Mimi, March 9.-After an
exciting early morning chase Gust
Hubscher, a giant baker, about thirty
five years old, was captured by a vol
unteer posse yesterday mt turned
over to the Anoka chief of police, In
whose custody the prisoner VIII re-
main until federal officials arrive 10
make formal charges against him OF
burglarizing the p~ostoftice at Champ
lin. Hennepin county.
Hubscher, who is employed in the
Aneka 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 postofice is
located, through a basement window.
Later he was seer 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 and at last he was
captured, but only after a struggle.
Although the prisoner is said to
have taken nothing more valuable
than cigars from the store, he will be
prosecuted by the federal authorities
because of the location in the building
of the p~ostoffice.
