When Police Officer Shoots and
Escapes Officer.

Patrolman Harry Libman at 1
o'clock yesterday morning shot at a
man who was going home from a
dance. The shooting occurred on the
corner of Sixth avenue and Eleventh

Other people who were going to
their homes from the dance saw the
officer dart out from behind a tree
and command the man to halt. He did
not obey the command. The officer
then fired the shot, eye-witnesses said.
The man ran and escaped the officer.
People who saw the officer shoot
said that the man Libman tried to
stop is a resident of the southeast sec

They said he had been at the dance

stopped by an officer.
Chief Phil Miller today said that he
had investigated the case and had
found that the man Libman shot at
was minding his own business and
gave the patrolman no occasion to
stop him.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

eveS receive the proper balance 81 food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown In 60 many
pale faces. lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Seott's Emulsion, and need 1t now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. 1t
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.
