ARMSTRONG IN CHICAGO.
A Brakeman Tells the Police that He
Saw the Fugitive.

AS Sergeant Hyland was passing down
South Illinois street Thursday q nan called
to him The stranger told the sergeant
that he was a brakeman on the Monon
railroad, and was positive he had seen Cal
Armstrong, the absconding deputy treas
urer Of Upton county, on the day he es-
capped from Jail. On that day he was MAX
ing his run on q Chicago train, and at a
point along the road where the train stopped
he had observed a man who acted in a
suspicious manner board the train. The
brakeman said that he observed this man
standing apart from the other passengers.
He had noticed this fact because the man
was standing in several inches OF snow,
and glanced at every one on the platform
and in the windows of the train before
aking passage. The brakeman said he had
once seen Armstrong;, and was positive
that this passenger was the escaped priS-
oner. Boarding the train the fellow imme-
diately sought a secluded spot and hid his
face behind a newspaper. The man paid
a cash fare to Chicago. The brakeman said
that his run did not extend to Chicago on
that trip, and as he got off the train he
again assured himself that the passenger
was Armstrong.
This story was told Sergeant Hyland
briefly, for the brakeman pleaded an imme-
date engagement and left. The officer did
not get the brakeman's name or the name
of the station at which he claimed that
Armstrong boarded the train.
