People passing the Club Hotel shortly before noon to-day were amazed to see a man dash out of a corridor, hurriedly mount a bicycle, and pedal furiously along Dee, Street, hotly pursued by a number of waitresses and other employees of the hotel. The fugitive turned down Esk Street -toward the station and then went round the Crescent. When last seen he was riding at- a fast speed along Tay Street.
During his flight round the Crescent some men endeavoured to intercept him, but with a skill that would have done credit to a trick rider, he swerved past them and made his escape.
It is stated that the man had been discovered in trie servants' quarters of the hotel, from where sums of money are reported to have been stolen.
