Watchman Fires Six
Shots at Automobile
Pursued by Police
D. W. Schenk, private watchman
on Poppleton and Woolworth .ave
nues, in the Field club district, re
ports that he had a thrilling adven
ture at 2:30 yesterday morning when
he fired six shots at a fugitive auto
mobile which was being pursued by
two policemen riding on a motor
cycle and carrying riot guns.
"I was standing at- Thirty-fourth
street and Poppleton avenue and
observed a speeding auto coming
from the west at a. rate of more
than 50 miles an hour," Mr. Schenk
said. 'T also observed the motor
cycle officers, so I began firing at
the fugitive car, as soon as it
reached me. I fired six shots and
must have struck one of the occu
pants because they did rot return
the fire. The motorcycle officers
pursued the automobile on Popple
ton avenue to Twenty-eighth street,
then south to Center street where
they gave up the chase. We thought
that the men in the automobile were
the mail car robbers or they may
have been highjackers."
