The Evidence Accommodating.
DODGE CRY, KS, Oct. 2.-Those in
charge of Mathews seem to think that
Dean, one Of the parties arrested for the
train robbery, is the man who shot Hilton,
and the lines seem to be drawing closely
around him as the leader OF the gang. He
tells = very explicit and apparently straight
story, but the officers discover that it fails
to hang together in many important par
t~iculars. The matter will fully develop in
o day or two, and it is more than likely
that one Of the men held here will give the
whole thing away. There ia q wholesome
determination among those representing
the railroad company and the State to
bring the scoundrels to justice ct all haz-
ards. The Deputy Sheriff is now at Cool
idge, and also Jack Bridges, City Marshal.
and Deputy Sheriff White. They will say
nothing. but it is thought by many that
they have some clue, and are forging u
chain more closely about Dean.
