BURGLAR WAS FROM YPSILANTI

 

HE WAS SHOT AT ROYAL OAK SUNDAY.

 

LAST BAD ESCAPED OF A YPSILANTI BOY WHO WENT WRONG.

 

Late Sunday night, Frank Temple rode to the residence of Attorney Alfred F. Wilcox, at Royal Oak, left his bicycle at the side of the building, quietly removed his shoes and entered through a cellar window. He secured, it is alleged, a quantity of silverware and went up stairs. He gained entrance to the room of Cicero Millington, Mr. Wilcox's father-in-law, who gave the alarm.

 

Temple went down the stairway, with Mr. Wilcox in hot pursuit. Temple turned and snapped a revolver several times at Mr. Wilcox. He had made the mistake of loading a center-fire revolver with rim-fire cartridges, which failed to explode. Wilcox fired and brought down the burglar with a bullet in the back.

 

He was given into the care of Dr. George B. Hammond and Deputy Sheriff A. Lewless. Yesterday morning the doctor and the officer, accompanied by Supervisor H. N. Lavery, of Royal Oak, brought the injured man to the city physician's office. The man was subsequently removed to St. Mary's hospital. His left arm is paralyzed and as he lost considerable blood, the injury is likely to prove serious. Temple is reticent as to his identity. He says he is a painter and decorator, and lately he has been boarding out Michigan avenue. He said his mother lives "twenty-eight miles from Detroit." An uncle conducts a store at Wayne. Under Sheriff Wellman, of Oakland county, will take him to Pontiac.

 

Chief McDonnell, of the detectives, received information last; night that the young man's real name is Ganung and that his home is in Ypsilanti. A man living in the western part of the city gave the information to Chief McDonnell.—Free Press.

 

It is believed that this is the same man who touched up Henry Miller for $50 a short time ago.

 

Ganung's mother and sister live in Ypsilanti in the old Follett house, and cared for the late David M. Uhl during illness. The mother and daughter are very respectable people of Ypsilanti and the former will go to her son today. This is a brother of the Ganung who stole bicycles and was arrested in Ypsilanti and escaped from the officers by asking to go into another room to get some clothing and making his way out of a back entrance to freedom. The wounded man is said to have served time in the penitentiary tor sheep stealing.
