Indiana Harbor. Aug. 3.-The South
Bay hotel was thrown into consider
able excitement last evening when a
supposedly desperate character holy
pursued by officer Ed Shields and a
large crowd of The hoi polloi. dashed
into the kitchen of the South Bay hotel
to elude capture.
Or didn't he?
There seems to be a question The
officer and the crowd were certain the
desperate did this. while Manager Ma
gle of the hotel is equally emphatic
that nothing of the kind occurred. and
the kitchen force and the guests of the
hotel are about equally divided for and
against the proposition.
Search Was Futile.
Be these things as they may, certain
1t Is that search in which most of
the guests and n large proportion of
the help at the hotel participated. re-
vealed no trace of the fugitive. The
hoi polloi which remained on the out
side and practically surrounded the
great building were certain that the
villain never came out of the structure
while they stood on guard, and there
you are. Did the victim. or the near
victim of the chase. vanish then into
thin air, did he dodge away from the
door as he appeared to enter and is
he at large roaming in the region. or Is
he hidden away in some corner of the
big hotel? The police and guests and
hotel help and the hoi polloi are all
curious to know

was answered by a dismal echo of his
words Mr.. Lees has never experienced
this since he can remember People

The guests were all a dinner when
