SERIOUS OFFENSE.

Sellwood Following; Chase of

J. C. Alton, driver of a vegetable
wagon, had -a. constitutional dislike
for policemen ana when Officer J.

charging him with committing a dis
orderly act, he decided to go .away
from there.
So, whipping up his horse, he
rattled merrily down the street with
the patrolman in full chase.
When it became evident that the
policeman was a better foot-racer
than the horse, Alton abandoned his
wagon and took to his Seels, but it
wasn't until he had been chased
several blocks and the officer had
fired two shots over his head that
he finally was taken into custody.
The arrest was made at East Twenty
sixth anJ Tacoma streets.

teenth street. He is said to have
