NT. AYR MAN SITS ON ROBBER

Indiana Farmer Seizes Alleged Outlaw Following Sight Seeing in Chicago. Thursday’s Chicago Evening News contained the following account of a Mt. Ayr man’s experience in that city: “When the police of the West 13th street station reached South Western avenue and Lexington street early today in response to repeated telephone calls from residents of the district, they found J. M. Millet a farmer living near Mt. Ayr, Ind., sitting on an alleged robber and lustily shouting ‘police!’ Miller and the alleged robber were taken to the station and after the farmer had told his story to Sergt. Daniel O’Hara the other man was locked up on a charge of larceny. “Miller told the police that he had been seeing the ‘sights’ with a woman friend and was returning to the home of relatives in Taylor street when he was accosted by the man, who asked Miller, according to Miller, for some iponey. He had only $1.50 left after seeing th*e ‘sights’ and this he handed over, he said. When the man then attempted to take his watch, Miller asserted, he overpowered the alleged robber and called for help.”
