SLEUTHS IN PURSUIT
OF her THIEF SPOUSE
Retiring Chief Of Police Has
Strenuous Battle With Angry
Woman.

Rapid City, s. d., Dec. 3.--WilliF
Lippencott, who resigned as chief or
police recently, closed his career as an
officer Saturday night by catching q
thief who has been systematically rob-
bling the American Express company
for several months.
Lppencott and Arthur Rose, agent
for the company, were secreted near
the platform of the Northwestern sta
ton on which stood a truck loaded
with express parcels awaiting the train
for Omaha. The watchers were re-
warded, Just as the whistle sounded am
nouncing the approach of h train, by
seeing Jimmy Trautman q porter 2
somewhat OF q sport, stealthily APP
proach the truck and fitch a package,
then sneak into a shadow of the depot.
Both Lippencott and Rose met Traut-
mar at the west end of the depot and
the former, poking q gun into his face,
placed him under arrest. Slipping a
pair Of handouts on the prisoner, he
was escorted TO his home, where a
search OF the premises was Instituted.
While this was going on, Trautman n
his family, consisting Of a wife and
two grown daughters, were weeping
and trying apparently to comfort the
husband n father. Suddenly Traut-
mar made a break for the door, fol-
lowed by his family. He plunged out.
side and instead OF following him, Mrs.
Trautman and her daughters turned at
the door and barred the egress Of Rose.
Unable to force Mrs. Trautman from
the door, and with her daughters cling
ing to his neck, Rose dealt Mrs. Traut-I
man a blow on the mouth which fioored
her and took several front teeth. Then
shaking himself clear of the girls, he
started after Trautman with drawn re-
volver. Catching a glimpse OF the
fleeing man as he sped under a street
light, Rose fired and continued empty
ing his gun in the direction OF Traut-
While this was going on, Mppen-
colt was having a pitched battle in
the home with the daughters over the
PROSTATE body Of the mother. In the
search, Lippencott had carried a kero-
sene lamp. When Trautman bolted, the
policeman also started in pursuit, but
found his way blocked by the girls
and himself hampefed by the lamp.
Tossing II over the heads Of the women
out of doors. he pulled his gun and
threatening to shoot, demanded that
the way be cleared. just then Rose
began shooting and the screaming
women cleared the doSrway.
Trautman was caught In q lumber
yard hiding behind a pile OF shingles.
None Of the shots fired by Rose had
hit him.
The search of Trautman's house re-
vealed a miscellaneous collection OF
goods covering everything from chew
ing gum to womens underwear and In
Guiding hams. cases Of eggs, tobacco,
whisky, boots and shoes, lard and
school books. The losses to the Ann
erican Express company and local mer-
chants Is, estimated at $1,000.
