CRIMINAL LEADS MERRY CHASE

After a series of thrilling chases,
episodes, and features equal to a movie
thriller, Sheriff John Nolan ran down
a desperate character by the name of
John Kish, who has a criminal record
in Moody county and who attempted
to pull off a con game at one of the
local garages last week, Tuesday
morning in a shack south of Lake
Campbell. Kish was found in bed
with a loaded revolver on a chair be.
side the bed. He was taken into GUS
tody and is now in the county yail
awaiting a hearing on a charge of OBJ
tanning money under false ~pretenses
and forgery.
After the discovery of the bad
checks he had written in Brookings
the authorities began looking for
Kish. For four days he eluded the
officers very cleverly and it was not
until Monday that definite trace of
him was found. While out in the
country Sheriff Nolan learned that
kish was in town and he Immediately
speeded toward ~Brookings. A few
miles out of town he met kish in a
Grant Six, speeding out toward the
lake. The sheriff attempted to stop
MIN and flashed his gun, but that
FAILED to brighten him and he turned
land speeded on out in the country.
zine sheriff followed and kept up the
Ecnase for twenty miles and was at
East obliged to give up, Sheriff
"healy of Moody county, gave the
E'ocal authorities a tip on where kiSh
Ecouid be found and three auto loads
ktelt Brookings early Tuesday morn
ing loaded for bear. They found him
near Lake Campbell as stated and
brought him back to town. A few
Eeeks ago Kish was fined for boot
Eegsing in the county court at Elan
Ereau.

Plays That Puzzle
=BY BILLY EVANS

Here is play involving blocking a
runner at the plate. In this play the
pitcher assisted. 1t is the last half
OF the ninth. the score is a tie, two
mon are out and there is arunner on
second The batsman singles to left
field. The runner oecIoes TO Try to
score. The left fielder made per-
feet peg to the plate, which would
have retired the runner by five or
six feet had the play been perfectly
executed. AS the runner started his
slide for the plate the ball bounded
over the catchers head. The pitcher
of the team, who was backing up,
handled the throw. The catcher, after
the ball had bounded over his head,
evidently decided the only thing to do
was to keep the runner from touching
the plate. Runner and catcher be-
came tangled up, due to the rough
actions Of the backstop and the run
ner was tagged out by the pitcher,
who f1elded the ball, before the run
ner was able to touch the plate. Was
the runner out or should he have
been allowed to score?
Runner Has Right TO Score.
