. · · EftDitoa Bhaeced Faila ia Dea,..te Attaapt to "Shoot Up" IDDOCeDt Drher The dawn of that eventful Monday was stiD smothered somewhere· beneath the ice-locked waters of Lake Michigan when Ferdinand De Groot, night manipulator of the gas level on one of Herbon's cabs, deposited a weary passenger on the sidewalk which graces the curbstone of West Railroad avenue just to the south of Central street in Evanston, and, spinning his four wheel protegey about .o n an area as close as possible to the size of a 'dime, headed back north. More than thirty hours were slated to pass before the dawn of a second morning and the start of the statewide "spring house-cleaning" that has since become famous-if not notorious -the world over and which brought gloom to the State house, consternation to the Sixteenth floor of the Sherman hotel, despair to the constituents of "America First," and "Draft Coolidge," and silence to the steamboat whistl~s on the Mississippi. As far as had been indicated, no "pineapples" were billed for arrival on the north shore ; no pageantry depicting "Custer's last stand" or "the flight of the pony-express" had been arranged. Eacouaten Balleteer Hence when Mr. DeGroot turned back north___.!oward Wilmette, as far as he knew no reception committee was awaiting him. Thus it was, as he passed Central street, Evanston, on his homeward journey, with considerable apprehension that he viewed a tall gentleman of dubious appearance and designs unfolding himself from the shadows of the rQadside and this alarm was by no means diminished as he perceived that the gentleman was "already on the draw." Mr. DeGroot, by the simple process of adding 2 and 2, arrived at the conclusion that the situation approximated a hold-up, promptly destroyed the excelorator. As he passed the gentleman of question, however_, that personage became quite vehement and finally punctuated his remarks with a leaden interpreter, which, cruising through the cab's left window, creased Mr. DeGroot's forehead and made an exit throu~h the opposite window. Mr. DeGroot completely eliminated the floor-board in the vicinity of the exhilarator. Become. MoYiaa T..._et Measuring on a taxi-meter, the distance between Central street, Evanston, and .t he Wilmette Village haJJ miJ!ht assume alarming proportions to a Scotch patron. Measured ·by the wheels of a taxi gone mad, closelv followed by another eqqally mad with a more or less calm maniac on the running board of the rear car pumping bullets at the aforementioned, the distance can be all in one, surprisinglv short and extraordinarilv far. · At ;~ny rate. Mr. DeGroot rounded the corner at Wilmette avenue without room to spare, narrowly a v e r t i n J! another bullet message. As he passed the Wilmette Police station-without slackenin~r speed-he proclaimed to the wide-word that he needed assistance and would be around in another minute to pick it uo. Whereupon-as Officers Poppl~ and Vance rushed to the rescue -he made Wiimette avenue bv a narrow mar~n and passed on into Main street on the first lap of a comnlete circuit. The gentleman in the rear marked each turn with lead for future reference.

Arrainged in the Village court, the strang_er took the form of an Evanston probationary policeman who thought that he was following a dispenser of liquid goods.
