escape
Shortly after the non hour, an en-
ployee Of the city appeared at the
mayors office with the information
that a prisoner across the way was
dangerously IN and suffering great
agony Hoping 10 alleviate the mans
pain the mayor grasped his pill case
and hastened TO the prison Upon his
arrival ne ualocked Cosgrove's cell
and bid him come out that he might
examine him. The prisoner came
out but much faster than Mr.. Setter
had expected. He dashed by the doc
tor, threw open the priso indoor an
disappeared around the corner of the
Central fire department building. be-
fore the astonished doctor was con-
!
fully recovtred from the shock. he
gave chase.
At the corner OF PROSPECT and

oner. who had left his hat and coat
behind. III had wings / might"
was the freman's reply The chase
was given up and the man is still at
