CHASES EX-CONVICT:
GETS SIXTEEN HATS

Noticing that the negro had a sus-
picious looking bundle under his
arm, Bicycle Policeman Kidd, of the
First district, chased Elijah Reed, an
ex-convict, from Fifteenth and Main
streets to Eighteenth and Franklin
streets last night, and found that
Reed had sixteen hats. Questioning
the negro, the policeman found that
he had broken into the store OF
Powell Brothers, 1541 East Main
street. through rear window, and
stolen the headgear.
The same firm was robbed of a
number of hats a few nights ago, and
1t Is probable that both robberies
were committed by the same man.
