PERRY, o. T.. April 23.-[Special.) 1.-The
notorious. mysterious John Dawson. alias

This Dawson is young sprig of fellow

cent. pleasing countenance; but he has,
nevertheless. 10y his lawles>. daring acts
during the last month earned the reputa-
ton of another terror"
Last night he was arrested while in a
saloon fiourishing his guns, and compell-
ing the passers-by to stop and drink with
him, aud ;ndulging in the other usual
humorous pastimes OF a bad man" He
has gotten out of numerous similar scrapes
upon "A plea OF guilty and light sentence;
but in this case he was caught in tight
pinch and his true character came to light,
though most uuwillingly.
His attorneys urgently endeavored to
exclude ali spectators from the room be-
fore they entered into his defense, but this
was not allowed. 1t then came out that
he was careering over the country
in this mad fashion simply as a blind.

vance with tie Dalton gang-this probably
being his desire, in order 10 effect their
capture.
His connection with the mail service in
the early days of the Strip has been de-
clared to be solely for the purpose OF pro-
curing information regarding registered
mail, express, etc, for the benefit of the
train rot ibers. but it turns out now to have
been a well-laid plan 10 become familiar
with the service to enable him to know
the probable movements of the train rob-
bers, and also 10 pretend 10 have valuable
information for the purpose of ingratiating
himself with the Daltons
Here Is evidently young man of good
birth and of education, and he has under

before taking. He has shown Courage
aud shrewdness which ought to succeed

meant action of the officers.

Attempts to Hog Passenger Traffic by
the Southern Pacific Forces it to
Sue Cor Truce.

CHICAGO, April 24-The Southern Pa
cific today showed where the low emigrant
rate recently established by the Western
Passenger association is rubbing. In order
TO secure the longest possible haul on the
California emigrant business, it has been
routing it by way of New Orleans, and the
reduction o! the rate from the Missouri
river viii force il either to route the
business IL some other wsv or reduce tie
rate via New Orleans. For this reason
II Is anxious TO have the other lines restore
the rates TO the old basis This, however.
they are not at all likely to do and the
trunk lines willwitbout doubt follow the
lead of the Western Passenger association.
Only one thing can get these rates back
again and that IL to have the Union Pa

Passenger association, or at least q party
