RUNNING GUN

With A Bang
Police Do Shooting,
Negro Does Most
Of Running

A running gun battle in
which police discharged the
guns and a Negro did a maj

enough of it to leave the Of
ficers fraternizing in the dust
with a typewriters and an adding
machine-awoke peaceful residents
in the vicinity of the 100 block
alley between State and Olive
streets early Saturday morning.
Patrolmen II. R. Voyles and T.
j. Harris, making their rounds
in the east El Centre area, noticed
the Negro at 1890 a. m. ambling
down the alley with typewriter
under one arm and an adding
machine under another.
Its a mighty queer time and
place for a business transaction"
quoth Harris.
Halt" shouted Voyles.
The typewriter and adding ma
chine halted, but the Negro did
not. Scattering the business ap-
pliances to left and right behind
him, he leaped forward like an
olympic champion. Harris aimed
his revolver at the sky and pulled
the trigger. 1t was not until
then, the officers agreed later,
that the Negro began to run in
earnest.
After the dust had settled down
and the Negro had disappeared,
the officers discovered that the
articles abandoned in such haste
had been stolen from the office
of the Shippers Ice Company, 1876
North Second street, while an en-
ploye was working in the rear Of
the plant.

CASABLANCA, French Morocco,
Aug. /. Wp-A formal charge OF
infringing air regulations was
placed today against eight Italian
aviators who landed in two air

AS the result, the eight men were

inimical to Spain's Fascists, has
