6 WILMETTE LIFE October 23, 1925 An abandoned taxicab, belonging to the Yellow Cab company of Chicago, was found parked, with the engine running, on Wilmette avenue near Park avenue shortly after midnight last Saturday night by Patrolman Herman Vance. The policeman noticed the cab standing there for some time, ·but because the engine was running did not at first think it unusual. The machine was finally brought to the police station, however, and the . cab company notified. It was then learned that the driver of the cab, John Kane 3035 Walnut avenue, Chicago, had been held up near Niles Center and robbed of $9 and his cab and chauffeur's cap not long before. Police reasoned that the bandit had driven the cab to Wilmette and left it to catch a train back to Chicago, thus e I ud ing pursuit by the Chic a go or highway police.
