KIDNAPS MAN HIT BY AUTO
Driver Stops to Pick up Victim, then
Speeds Away-Detectives
Search Hospitals.

Minneapolis, Aug. AN old man
was struck and apparently seriously
injured by an automobile of unknown
ownership at Hennepin avenue and
Tenth street. He was picked up and
tossed into the machine, and the
driver sped away. Detectives visited
every Minneapolis hospital but were
unable to find the injured man.
A dozen persons read the cars num-
Der but inadequate automobile records
at police headquarters prevented the
arrest Of the driver at once. Wit
nessss said the machine was first seen
turning rapidly from Tenth street and
going south on Hennepin avenue. A
passing street car blocked it's path and
It swung towards a crowd of persons
crossing the street.
Several leaped to safety but the
man hit did not respond quickly
enough to the warning. The automo-
bile then careened and grazed the
street car and stopped suddenly. The
driver picked up his victim and es-
capped before witnesses could inter-
fere.
