EXCITING CHASE AFTER GREEK
Hassler Pursued GeorgopOulOs, Who
Leaped From Train.

How Pantigotus Georgopoulos,
the Greek arrested here for being
an illegal resident of the United
States, leaped headlong from the
rear of a train moving fifty miles
an hour, landed in pile of gravel
unhurt, and was chased for several
miles, is told by Herman Hassler'
sheriff, who was serving as a relief
guard to P. H. Stretton, United
States immigration inspector, who
was conducting the Greek to st.
Louis.
Two miles this side of Clark, Mo-,
the shackles we're removed from
the prisoner, so that he could go to
the toilet. Stretton followed him.
Suddenly he dashed the length OF
the car, and leaped over the railing
on the end of the last car.
Three quarters of a mile farther
on the train was stopped. "He is
dead" said the conductor, for he
landed head foremost in pile OF
: gravel"
Hassler left the train before 1t
stopped completely, and with three
track laborers, rode hand car back
to the place where the Greek had
escaped. He was just then running
across the top of a nearby hill.
Hassler gave chase, and pursued
him through pastures and corn
fields for more than three miles,
finally losing him in a patch OF
timber.
Stretton, in the meantime, had
gone to Clark, being unable to or
fer pursuit because of decided
tendency toward corpulency. Off
GERS of all surrounding lows were
notified.
In the morning the pursuit was
resumed, and the place was found
where the Greek had eaten his sup

some time, ana II was louAu

always away from the roads.
Then a telegram was received
from r. v. Delaney, deputy sheriff

pockets, which be had stolen OF
