ral minutes and covering nearly
a block of territory during which
time five shots were fired. Chief
Lof Police Moffitt and Patrolman
George White late last night ar
rested "Cul" Riessbeck and Ches
ter Foster at Capitoi and Union
streets. Riessbeck and Foster,
both of whom are said to be un
der parole from the justice court,
were lodged in the city jail and
are. being, heltjUoa, four separate
charges, without bail.
Hurried Call Comes
The arrests followed a hurried
call to the police at 11 o'clock
last night that two men were dis
turbing the peace at Union and
Capitol streets. Thinking that the
rowdies were possibly the ones
responsible for the running down
of Mrs, O. C. Kennos a few min
utes before, Chief of Police Mof
fitt and Patrolman White rushed
to the scene in a car.
As they stepped from the' car
they recognized Riessbeck and
Foster. The two men permitted
themselves to be searched, but
when the officers found a pint
bottle of liquor on them and at
tempted to place the men under
brrest, Foster broke and Tan
down the street. Officer White
gave chase, overtaking the man
after about half a block. It was
necessary to use force in subdu
ing him.
Riessbeck Resists
In the meantime, according to
the police, Riessbeck attempted to
resist arrest, breaking away from
Chief Moffitt and attempting to
put over a telling blow. The of
ficer knocked the man off and,
drawing his revolver, warned him
that if he continued to put up a
fight he would be shot. Riessbeck
failed to heed the warning, made
another attempt to hit the offi-
cer, then started on a run down
the street, Moffitt after . him,
shooting as he ran.
