Johnny Mihalski, wanted by the local police department and by New York Central otlicers, made a daring escape Sunday night from 1303 W. Sample st., where, according to Special OHloer Cm. F. Shannon, parties have been hiding him from the law. Armed with three warrants containing various charges. Shannon approached the Sample st. house and demanded the whereabouts of Mihalski. The family there denied knowing anything of him. and not being armed Nvith a search warrant. Shannon was compelled to leave without searching the house. Hut Mihalski. who is but 16 years old, evidently feared that the olhccr was about to enter the house, because he leaped from an attic window, more than three stories from the ground, and escaped down an alley. Shannon gave chase but failed tv catch the youthful lawbreaker. "Mihalski is wanted on several 'serious charges," said Shannon Monday morning. "He has broken into freight cars, has entered homes and has trespassed. His brother Ittie Is serving time now in the St. Leavenworth, Kans.., prison." Mihalski was alleged to have been a member of the gang of nine young bandits who were arrested last Friday for holding up a fruit dealer at the point of a revolver in broad daylight, and other crimes committed in the west end.

A strong believer in personal liberty was discovered in the person of Charles Yaw, 1S01 Fassnacht av., in city court Monday morning.

He was arrested for intoxication upon charges preferred by Mrs. Yaw. "Ho is cruel to me and I am afraid of him." said Mrs. Yaw. "I lend her money and borroNv money from her," said Yaw. "As for being cruel, cruelty is relative; her treatment of me and the way I treat her as my wife are proportionate. When she' is cantankerous, of course I am. too." "Well, you may meditate upon personal liberty and your marital dissensions for the next 11 days in the county jail." said the court, and tnat sentence was entered in the docket.

Sunday evening betNveen C and S o'clock by thieves who gained entrance by forcing a basement window. That the burglars failed to get more loot was due to the arrival home of Mrs. Horst and her sister. Mrs. Thomas W. Slick, who entered the place while the thieves were in the net of removing silverware from the buffet. Tho booty secured by tno thieves included two diamond rings, one opal ring, gold bracelet, gold necklace, pearl necklace, an Klin watch, gold cuff buttons and shirtstuds, two suits of clothing, three pair of shoes, dancing pumps, panama hat, suit case, 11! pairs of ho.e, from 12 to 15 handkerchiefs, four suits summer underwear, three suits winter underwear, two night gowns, four shirts and $8 in money. The robbery took place while the family was at the residence of C. A. Dolph, nearby. The burglars made their escape through a pantry window, which had been carefully arranged to provide a quick "get-away." Hefore thoroughly ransacking the house the thieves pulled every curtain so as to prevent themselves from being seen. Although every piece of Mr. Horst's wearing apparel, excepting a fcNv shirts and an evening dress suit were taken, not a single piece of Mrs. Horst' 8 clothing was taken.

Green has appeared in city court many times to answer charges of intoxication, but stories of an invalid mother and a wife and family had always gained him his freedom. Monday morning he was bound over to the circuit court grand jury under bond of $5 00-.
