The Davenport Democrat has this chap
ter ef st1senture Adjective Center, Of
this city, gives as the following particulars Of
the chase and 6nal capture Of the notorious
| horsethief, Herbert Shaw alias Charlie
Finch, commencing in comedy and ending
in . tragedy. "a
'sThe Sheriff of Marengo, lows county,
had been in pursuit Of him for soma time.
Last spring be succeeded in coming up with
him At Dixon, in this county, and got within
-four feet Or him, when, being the fastest
runner in the State, he succeeded in making
good his escape, not, however, until the
Sheriff had sent six bullets after him, the last
taking him in the shoulder. From that time
until his capture BY Mr.. Center, he managed
| to elude the utmost endeavors to find him,
and Was only brought to grief through .
vomsn's indiscretion.
"He become enamored Ct q woman in
| Wheatland, and wrote to her, inclosing
money, and telling her to meet him at Mar
the letter, and to avoid suspicion, came to
this city on Friday last and took the train
mex. morning. Detective Center, by some
'triek of The trade got hold Of the letter,
took the morning train with her, and played
the attentive and agreeable during the jour>
ney, noticing at the different hotels that she
had registered three different names at as
many different places. She accepted his
I polite attentions under the belief that he was
m ordinary. passenger.
"on arriving at Marshall, the lady was
shown to the hotel and the landlord and City
Marshal posted as to the business on hand,
and pledged to assist. Our adventurous fe-
male, no. finding her swain there, went to
| Fredonia about five miles distant. A cons
veyance was obtained, with the City Marshal
disguised as an ordinary dryer, equipped
with whip, pistols and bracelets. Our Phil,
lipos was not there, but expected on every
train.
"On Monday he arrived, and was immedi-
ately arrested by the CITY Marshal, and taken
in charge BY Mr.. Center After being prop.
erly ironed, they took the train for Bars-
town, where they we're to take the stage for
Marengo. When within few miles from
Blairstown, Mr.. Center removed the "cuffs
from one of bis hands, and Immediately he
stole the key to his irons from Mr.. Center s
coat pocket. A gentleman ca ID Mr.. Center
to the other side of the car, and at the same
time two others stepped between him and his
prisoner, who Immediately slipped his irons
and broke for the hind car. The noise Of
the falling irons attracted the detectives at
tention, who in an instant eomprehended the
situation, ind pulled his revolver and started
after him, threatening to shoot il he did no;
stop. Two men appeared at the door to en-.
ter the car just as he was opening it, which
prevented the shooting. AT the cal of the
detective, they attempted to stop him. but
were dashed aside IN an instant, one being
thrown one way and the other another
Gaining the door, with one bound he cleared
the steps without stopping to pass through
the hind car. The train was on down grade
and going at the rate OF thirty miles an hour
which made the leap from between the cars
a most desperate one. The brakes were
whistled down and the train stopped as soor
a. possible. On being pat back, the fellow
vas found with one leg broken below tn,
knee-the result of his 'slesp for liberty. .
He was again taken on board, conveyed Il
1 Marengo, and lodged in Jail without am
further trouble, and will probably pay th.
penalty of his numerous horse theHs BY .
few years at Fort Madison. His lady Low,
was notified Of his situation, and is now pro-
ably attending him at Msren. %"
