Night officer Corbett of the police
force had rather a lively time of 1T
early Wednesday morning in an en-
deavor to capture two bad looking no.
boes. Train II. which goes east from
this city at Ill A. NJ, had just pulled
into the station when the engineer
informed the officer that two men
were riding on the train who looked
as though they were not just plain
ordinary evaders of car fare, and re-
quested the officer to take them into
custody. AS soon as the two learned
that the officer was after them they
started to flee up Court street hill,
with the officer in pursuit He COM
manded them to halt but they paid
no attention, and when he called a
second time the men only quickened
their mace A six-shooter was brought
into use following which one of the
pair turned around and told the off,
Ger that he had no right to shoot at
him. As he started to run again the
officer pulled his gun and snapped the
trigger three times but all three of
the cartridges failed to explode. Off
Ger Corbett kept on his pursuit of the
two men we'll up on Western avenue,
where they disappeared from view.
