When he saw two strangers drive away in his automobile yesterday he didn’t call the police. He pulled a rifle from his umbrella stand, pock eted a handful of ammunition, and pursued them in his motor ambu lance. As both machines raced the streets Shute rested the rifle barrel on his windshield and sent a dozen shots after the thieves. At East Oak street and Lake Shore drive they jumped from the car and fled.
