POLICE FORCE DEMORALIZED BY WHITE MULE Maud Runs Wild With Cop at End of Lasso, but Halts at ‘Stop’ Sign. White mule created* havoc in the Indianapolis police department yesterday afternoon, but no arrests were made, it was a real white mule answering to the pame of Maud. She was tied behind p. wagon. Having a mind of her own, she took exception to a passing automobile, broke and ran. Tearing through the alley between Delaware and Alabama streets, she reached Washington street just as Alfonzo Wagner, driver of the police emergency automobile, was passing on his way home. True to a promise made to Alfonzo Wagner, Jr., to bring home a lasso for a wild west show, Alfonzo, Sr., had the lasso with him and without more adoo, the officer demonstrated his ability to use the lasso. He roped Maud. Then the white mule created havoc in the police department. Maud start,ed west in Washington street and her rate of speed was greater even than that of the police emergency automobile. Wagner, hanging on the end of the rope, was keping pace with the mule. Traffic Officer Fred Purvis, at Delaware and Washington streets, saw the "parade” approaching and turned the semaphore from “Stop" to “Go.” Maud did not hesitate. Even when the speed became so great that Wagner's feet went out from under him Maud continued on her way. Then entered the real heroes. Motor Policemen Dalton nnd McClure, seeing the predicament of their brother officer, went to his aid. Maud continued west in Washington Rtrect with the three men trailing. Unlike the ordinary white mule, Maud has respect for the law. At Washington and Pennsylvania streets Traffic Officer John Liugan had the “Stop” sign turned against west-bound traffic. Maud halted and said "Hee Haw.” Wagner was uninjured except for a torn pair of trousers and bruised knees. Now Maud Is out on the farm and neither Federal prohibition officers nor the squads have investigations to make of this white rnuie case that created such havoc in the police department.
