Former Rensselaerites Take Part in Chase in Lafayette.

Chris Koepkey and son, Roy, both formerly of this city, took part in the chase and capture of Sam Soris, a Monon employe at Lafayette, after he became angered at James Shipley, wrecking foreman for the railroad, and shot at Shipley. The trouble occurred about two o’clock Wednesday afternoon. The bullet just grazed Shipley’s side and he was only slightly injured. When the men took after Soris he ran and turned a number of times and threatened to shoot but never carried out his threat. After a chase of two miles Soris was caught and turned over to the police. At police headquarters he refused to talk.
