 A Buick car containing 20 cases of whisky was captured by Deputy Sher- if Percy Bowden and Police Officer Jim Houston after an exciting chase at 10:30 o'clock Friday night at Doug las The boOtlegger himself escaped and ten cases of the booze were smashed in the chase. The officers went out on the ROdeo road looking for bootleggers and were rewarded about three miles out. They set chase as the purveyor of contraband headed for Douglas. They gained on him and as the bOotlegger reached an alley just north of Twenty-first street on A avenue, Sunnyside. he stopped his car and lit out. The officers drew up in a few moments and BOwden let fly with two bullets at the fleeing man. It was very dark and the follow was a wonder at getting over fences and covering distance. He got through a barbed wire fence enclosing the back yard of Eli Reeves and then appears to have shinned over two high wooden fences next docr. The car was taken to the police headquarters It has a New Mexico license. Chief Jones thinks it is the same car he chased out of an alley down town not very long ago. A woman was driving il then.
