Phantom Gunman Is Roaming Highways Mysterious Gunman f Sought In Illinois SPRINGFIELD, 111. (UP)— The “phantom gunman’’ roamed Illinois highways 'Monday. ' \ The mysterious marksman .who has terrorized motorists throughout a two-week period was sought by all available state police after his 10th shooting attempt. Embarrassed state police officials, unable to track the elusive assailant, reported three shootings Sunday but said “thrill seekers*!: might be trying to hog some of the limelight. Most authentic shooting Sunday was reported near Elgin, 111., by Frank Pazdipra, Lilly Lake, 111., who told police he heard a sharp crack when a car bearing two men passed his auto on highway 120’about four miles east of Volo, HL 1 When he got home Pazdiora said he found a mark on his windshield that he thought * came from a bullet. Police said the mark could have come from a bullet* but also could have come from a stone. 1 Two girls reported they ‘thought’ 1 some one shot at them but could not be sure and never did show up at the police station to make a rbport. Police said a check showed they had given false addresses. A state police official at Springfield said, all reports of shootings were being investigated “thoroughly" but indicated many of the incidents are the “imagination" of thrill seekers and people “who want to see their names in the paper. State police thought they had the highway menace bottled up Sunday when they arrested two men near Lincoln, 111.,. after they ran a stop sign. The men were in a car that fitted the general description of the asphalt assailant. The pien were released when police were convinced they were “Just harmless revelers.” Bernard Buractier, Chenoa. 111., said he was driving on U. S. 66 just south pf Lexington Whep he heard something slap against his windshield. 1 He saw a dark sedan passing him with three persons inside. One of them was withdrawing what looked like a rifle back into the car, he said. ; » The motor-borne maniac has made a personal shooting gallery of highway 66 over an area about. 350 miles during the’ past two weeks. By water, Montreal is closer to Southhampton and Le Harve than it is to New York.
