Policeman Run Down by Thugs’, Auto

Fires Two Shots At Speeding Car Police Officer Robert E. Liese narrowly escaped death today as two would-be burglars tried to run him down with their automobile in near West Side Indian-

_|apolis. The officer tried to jump back as the car hurled toward him but the driver swerved again and grazed him. He was treated at General Hospital for head and leg injuries. He fired two shots as the car sped south from Osage and Chesapeake Sts. but apparently neither shot found its mark. The car turned south onto Missouri 18t. and eluded other squad cars which scoured the area for several hours. Checking Beverage Firm Patrolman Liése was walking his beat in the near West Side at 3:40 a. m. He was checking the Advance Beverage Co. 315 W. Maryland 8t., scene of two breakins this year. Checking the rear of the building, he walked north on Osage St. and turned east into Chesapeake. As he turned the corner he saw a car about 50 feet away. The car's motor was idling with its lights off. The license plates had been removed. As the officer turned the corner, a fire alarm sounded at nearby Fire House 13 and the engines raced out, Driver Guns Car

The two men apparently were frightened by the simultaneous appearance of the officer and the sound of ‘sirens. The driver gunned the car's motor and it for the policeman. Patrolman Liese jumped back and pulled his gyn. The driver then swerved again toward the officer and struck him, knocking him to the ground.

Patrolman Liege fired two shots at the speeding car before it turned onto Missouri St. St.

Other Escape Remembered Mr. Mock remembered his narrow escape last winter when he heard the dogs barking early this morning. He awoke to a room filled with smoke. He dressed immediately and hurried down to release the dogs from the room in which they were locked. The fire gutted rear ‘rooms in the six-room frame house before firemen brought it under control. Origin of the fire and extent of damage have -not been determined. Deputy Sheriffs Everett Maxwell and Willlam Owens, who were sent out to investigate, were the same officers who were sent out to aid Mr. Mock when he was

burned out last year.
