The people of Saltwater and vicinity will,
perhaps, readily call to mind certain in
dividual by the name of Hugh Mckenzie who
left South saltwater nearly three years ago,
and of whom a number of doubtful transact
ions were reported at that time. After leav-
lug this vicinity, Mckenzie seems to have
gradually went on from bad to worse,
until he was finally arrested
for stealing horses and cattle. Seemingly
the delinquent did not go into the business
on small scale, but shipped his stolen
bovines by the car load early last fall. While
being conveyed to jail at Little Falls, the
prisoner made his escape by jumping through
a car window, shackled as he was, and the
train running at high rate
of speed. This daring feat was performed
near Mortly, sixteen miles west of
Brainerd.. From that time until recently,
Mckenzie has kept remarkably quiet, but as
there was a reward of 5000 offered for his ar
rest, the officers of the law have been con-
stantly on the alert. A few days ago the
sheriff of Morrison county, by some means
learned that the fugitive was residing at FL
field, Wis. As may be supposed the Mime
sofa official was not long in getting on the
track. On Friday night he reached st. Paul
with the much wanted man.
