TRUNK.
But Dronped It After ail EXCitiW?
Chase.
A HUNGARIAN'S BOLD ACT
He Hadn't Time to Break Oren the Trunk
to Get the Money, so Carried It Bodily
In Broad Daylight.
Oonstnble Talleiln Phillips stood on the
comer ot Mnln and Centre streets yester
dny morning making llnal adjustments
of hisnttire, preparatory to taking a "con
stitutional," when he was npproichc I by
an excited Hungarian named Jacob
Gawamis, a resident ot the Mats, at the
west end of Coal street.
Between his gnspings for breath Guwn-
nus managed to explain in broken Lng
lisii to the tomewhnt surprised constable
that a theft had been committed nnd the
thief was escaping. A mutual, friend ex
plained in better language that one Mike
Kochlnskl had stolen Gawanus' trunk
and was speeding out of town with the
recepticle upon his shoulder. The trunk
contained $185 anil KochinHki, not having
time to break it open, had made a whole
sale haul.
The constable started in pursuit, and
espied the fugitive about a quarter of a
mile ahead on the Lehigh Vall-yrnilroad,
pw-hlng eastward with the trunk on his
shoulder as fast in his legs could carry
him.
Phillips is not a sprinter, but as his
competitor was handicapped by a heavy
load he made rapid gains. The consta
ble was drawing pretty close when
the man with the trunk looked over
one of his shoulders nnd discovered the
chase. Despite ills inau and tuo ex
haustion already entailed the fugitive
increased his speed, whereupon Phillips
drew his revolver. Three times the
officer shouted "Halt !" but the cries had
no effect. Then Phillips fired. As tho
echo followed the shot Kochlnskl dropped
the trunk and took to the bushes. Tim
constable and Gawanus picked up the
trunk and found the money nnd every
thing belonging to the owner Intact. It
was brought back, to town. Kochlnskl
has not been seen since.
