Gailagher's Hiding Place Located and the
Reward Withdrawn.
A report was current in the neiehbor.
hood OF the court house yesterday after
noon that John Gallagher had surrendered
himself and was under arrest. The rumor
could not be positively verified, but dur.
ing the day it was learned that, County
Commissioner McQueeney had t~elephonsd
to the sherlff's Office to have the reward
Withdrawn, az Gallagher's location had
been found and that he was practically
under arrest. Efforts to find Mr.. Nc
Queeney were unsuccessful, but last evening
1t was ascertained that Gallagher, through
a friend had conveyed his intention OF sur.
rendering to the authorities as soon as his
condition would admit. While his exact
location was not made known to the com.
missioner, it's accuracy was sufficiently
to him to assure the
culprit's arrest when necessary. The reports
Do to his condition are conflicting. Some |
insist that his left arm has been am%putated |
Ind that he is critically situated. The |
police take no St. ok 10 these statements
