sen, The drew his gun, cursed me,
stepped on the gas and was off"
Cook took out Wright street with the
motorcycle officer giving chase. 1t is
said. Between Aloaniz street and Sixth
avenue he fired one shot at his pur-
suer, but It did not take effect.
When officer Hairelsen suddenly
steered his machine up the sidewalk on
Sixth avenue. Cook, It is alleged. also
cut his car suddenly and gave chase to
the cop trying to run him down. The
chase went on. Hairelsen turned out

The basis for this Is the excellent
