Men Abandon Truck
With Alcohol On 1t

On Monday night, Supernumerary
Evans noticed a truck in the darkness
and two men standing near by at the
corner of Vallette and Newton streets.
One of the men ran off on the APP
proach of the policeman and his mount,
the other remained. Evans questioned
the man and learned his name was
Charles Dubret, 739 Elmira avenue.
Dubret explained the truck con-
tanned 13 five gallon jugs that smelled
strongly of alcohol, but all were emp
ty. There was one ten gallon can,
however, that Evans asserts con-
tanned a small quantity of alcohol.
Examination of Dubret resulted in
the arrest of Peter Danos, 1415 Whit.
ney avenue, the man who ran.
Further investigation revealed the
truck is the property of Davis A.
Adams and was taken out of garage
by Danos without the consent of Mr.
Adams. Both men were taken to the
Algiers Station where they are being
held pending investigation by fedora
authorities. Danos is also charged
with the act relative to taking an au
tomobile without the owners consent
Police believe the truck was en-
gage din the transfer of alcohol.

POLICE OFFICER IN HOT CHASE
AFTER LAW VIOLATORS.

From out of the darkness in the
quiet river front section of Algiers,
near the United States Marine Bar
racks early Wednesday morning,
came a flash of fire. Patrolman
Evans had just dismounted from his
horse and was about to enter the
barracks to use a telephone when
ambushed.
The flash of the pistol Illuminated
the spot for the fraction of second
and Patrolman Evans saw an auto
mobile with several men. The shot
came from that machine as it rapidly
sped by. and the bullet whizzed close
to the head of Evans horse" The
automobile sped away.
Leaping into his saddle Patrolman
Evans gave chase. Out Newton st.
to Elmira avenue the chase led. In
Elmira avenue two more shots whis-
tied dangerously close to horse and
rider. Undaunted, Evans urged his
mount, and the gallant animal re-
| sponded with an added burst of speed.
| Into Opelousas avenue the gang turn
ed, almost overturning the machine.
Evans was nearly square away, and
when the policeman made the turn
into Opelousas avenue, the machine
was out of sight. 1t is believed il
had entered one of the many garages
in that section operated by William
Harper. Mr.. Harper willingly open
ed all his garages and showed the
police around. No trace of the au
