NTT December 18, 1926 WINNETKA TALK GET PRACTICE CHASE! Our Cops Heed Summons to Chase Auto Thieves; Shake Hands With Alleged Purloining Pair The quietude which usually prevails in Winnetka Police circles, came near being broken with a "thriller," Thurs- day, when the officers, for a moment, | saw visions of a red hot chase after | a supposed "auto bandit." | Harry Ruston, plumber contractor, left his truck in front of the office of | FE. T. Leonard and H. G. Gleason, 556 Center street, while he stepped inside to talk over some business matters there. Leonard the "model homes,' and Gleason build and sell ' and are now fin- ishing up two of them, one of which | is on Foxdale avenue. They had some small pieces of material at the office which they desired to take up to the Foxdale avenue house, and Mr. Ruston | |redecorated. kindly proffered the use of his truck. "It's right out in front," Ruston ex- | plained, "just go out and help your- self and I'll wait here until you return." [Leonard and Gleason went out and started off in a truck, Ruston's, as they presumed. Calls for Cops Presently the driver of the truck owned by the Hart Oil Burner com- pany, came out of the restaurant to | drive on his way, but his truck was | gone. "Stolen," was the message he veved to the police. An officer had seen the Ruston truck | going north on Center street and the | con- chase started in that direction, but without result. At Eldorado avenue I.eonard and Gleason crossed to the east side of the track to reach the number where they are building on Foxdale. : Sometime later, when they drove!
