Chicago Detective Hits Fugitive in Funny Place.

A Chicago newspaper states that a detective Friday afternoon shot a mAh trying to escape from him, fitting the fugitive bn the Lake Front. And yet the Chicago papers about all have columns telling about the funny breaks of the country newspapers. It is really interesting, however, to know that the detective hit the fugitive at all. For a good many months the fugitives seem to have successfuly dodged the bullets of police and detectives and ;o have hit nothing but the Lake Front. The Lake Front this time was the anatomy of one Thomas Holton, who claims to be a travelng salesman, but he was not traveling fast enough to get out of the way of Detective Jarvis Slatterley’s pistol, and he got a 32 ball in his right leg. This makes him a sort of ball-bearing salesman and he will soft-pedal for quite a while bfefore he will be turned loose from St. Luke’s hospital.
