About 11 o'clock Tuesday night officer Shaw observed a young man coming op Main street in an almost nude condition, and making time as fast as hiB legs could carry him. At first tbe officer thought it was some one with an attack of the "jim jams," who Was trying to escape from the imaginary "blue devils." When the young man came up to where officer Shaw was standing he was so frightened that he could hardly speak for a moment. He was barefooted and had no clothing on except a thin undershirt and drawers, and explained that some unknown parties were trying to rob and murder him. The officer secured some old clothes and accompanied the frightened I Individual to his home in Kansas City addition, buttnere were no indications of burglary. The young man lives alone with his father, but tbe latter was away 1 from home on this occasion, and stated that some one awoke him by knocking on the door, and asking for something to eat. Boon he heard another voice at the door and some one shouted, "your time is up." Thoroughly frightened he leaped out of bed through the window 12 feet above the ground, and one of the burglars started after him, in close pur suit, striking his back with his fingers, and muttering "d-n you, 1 will kill you." He said he was followed to the Barclay school building, where he out distanced tbe chaeer. The frightened individual, refused to star alone in the house under any consideration that night, and re quested tbal a bed be furnished him in he city jail, where he was kept awake all night by Perry Vorhies, an insane patient just brought in from Wilhoit. After investigation officer Shaw came to tbe conclusion that the young man was the victim of a practical joke, as the people are new coiners. Installment Sunset lots. plan, easy payments F. E.
