WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Lieutenant Williams U a Good Sprinter
and a Prisoner Knows ItWas
Van Horn Here?
Lieutenant Thomas Williams, of this
precinct, had a long chase last evening
after a furious ytmnar man who was
Urgently wanted for cell-filllrtfr purposes
In the police station. The youth's name
is John Jones and his home is some
where on Lafayette street. He drank
too much fiery stuff yesterday and in
the evening he was still drinking In a
North Main avenue saloon. He came
to blows with some one In .the saloon
and he was hustled out. Then, on the
streets, he pummelled a harmless Indi
vidual and as Patrolman Peters was
approaching him Jones ran down the
street.
Lieutenant Williams saw him com
liiK, but Jones dodged Into Wymbs'
court and the lieutenant fullowed on a
run. They chased up the court to Hyde
Park avenut, to Price street and when
Main was again reached the lieutenant
overtook the prisoner. It was a grand
race. When Jones was placed In tne
station house he Immediately began to
tear down the bars of the cell. He was
furious and was finally chained to the
bars.
WAS VAN HORN HEBE?
During the early hours yesterday
morning the West Side police were on
the lookout for Van Horn, the murderer.
He was supposed to be on this side.
Hiram Holmes, an old gentleman,
thought he saw Van Horn, and Helmes'
story, as told to the police, caused much
excitement and a thorough search.
Helmes keeps a boarding house In Hen
nessy court. In the near of North Main
avenue, near the 'Salvation Army bar
racks. About two years ago Van Horn
boarded for a long period at this house
and the proprietor is well acquainted
with the murderer. As Helmes was
coming down Main avenue at 10 o'clock
Sunday evening he saw a man stand
ing at the top of a stairway in a pas
sage which leads to the Helmes house
and is used by the boarders. When
Helmes saw the man lie advanced to
ward him and. placing his hand on the
supposed murderer's shoulder, he ex
clulmed: "Hello, George!" According
to Helmes' story to the police, the man
made no response but hastily went down
the steps and Into the passage. Then it
was that Helmes gave the alarm. The
police otllcers hurried to the premises,
feut, though a long Inspection was made,
no suspicious individual was seen.
Helmes Is positive that the man was
Van Horn. He says that the murderer
has shaved his mustache and has had
his hair clipped.
