He Had Been Living I'm Anderson Sev
eral Years Under an Alias.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Dec. 15.-Almost seven
years ago Robert Rich, who has passed in
Anderson under the alias of Frank Freen,
was doing service in the Kentucky State
prison at Frankfort. With other convicts
at that time working on railroad that
was being built in that section with prison
labor, he effected his escape and landed in
Windsor, Ont. While there A. G. Cardwell,
who is now one of the operatives of the
Arcade file works, in this city, and a
shrewd detective, learned that he was a
fugitive from justice. Cardwell at that
time lived in Montreal. From Windsor
Rich come back to the United States and
took up his residence in gainesville. o.
Cardwell followed him and from there TO
Louisville, where they remained a few
weeks. Later Rich went to Orange, Ind,
but fearing detection, soon left, and was
owing him, to Danville, Ill. Rich returned
to Orange, where Cardwell became ac-
quainted with the fugitive, and two, years
where both obtained work in the file works,
and where both have been ever since, Rich
seeming to think that he had succeeded IN
ever, Cardwell learned the story of Rich's
crime and at once laid the story before
local detectives in this city, who opened
communication with prison authorities at
Frankfort. The result of the correspond
ence led to his arrest.
D. K Ray, warden Of the Kentucky
prison. armed with requsition papers from
Governor Bradley. OF kentucky, arrived ior
Cardwell to the theater last night, and the
two took seats in the front of the house.
Warden Ray, in company with Sheriff
Starr, entered the room and walked down
to the seat that Rich occupied. Sheriff
Starr told Rich that he was wanted and
laid a hand on his shoulder. For moment
the escaped convict paled and reached to
his hip pocket, but the officer was too
quick for him, and the officers led him
a revolver was found on him. At the jail
he consented to accompany the officer to
Frankfort They left at O'Clock this
morning. This was his second escape from
prison. He has served one term for horse
stealing and was sent up again for the
same crime and was serving five-year
sentence. about half of which was served.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE. Ind. Dec. 15.-The state

dianapolis yesterday that the old anti-Har-
rison feeling is showing itself in this city
is untrue, and it Is absolutely untrue that
r. I. Mcdonald made the idle boast
that he would spend $4,000 to secure his
election as national delegate from this dis
trict. 1t is true. he was opposed to Mr..
Harrison at Minneapolis and made a strong
fight against him in the convention, but
he afterward supported the ticket of Harri-
son and Reid with his vote, time and
money. In every campaign since his first
vote he has contributed literally and done
very much to aid Republicanism in this
district, and he Is now one or the five can
didates from this county for national dele
gate. He will make an aggressive cam
paign, and, IL elected, will certainly not
be hostile to what seems TO be the best pol
icy for Indiana, and with his delegation
Will support the man who seems to be the
most available and safest for the Repub-
ncan party.

WENT UP INTO THE AIR
Destructive Natural Gas Explosion in an
Indiana Town
A Business Block Costing Many Thousands Of
Dollars Blown to Pieces.
Fire Follows

Anderson, Ind, March 5.-The most de-
structive natural gas explosion in the his
tory OF Indiana occurred at O'Clock this
morning. A $4,000 business block on
Court House square was blown all over
the central part of the city. In the build
ing were the When clothing store, Prather's
shoe store. Handley's drug store. business
offices and a hall on the upper floor. Fire
followed the explosion, which was like an
earthquake, and the remains of the debris
began burning fiercely. The entire fire de-
partment was called out and prevented the
fire reaching the new court house. At
torney Ballard and County Commissioner
Metcalf lived in the rooms above the When
store and it is feared they persisted. The
loss on the building and contents will
reach $500, 900. The front of all business
houses in the neighborhood of the explo-
sion were demolished, paved streets ripped
open and telephone cables torn down.
In addition to the demolition of the
Terhune block, the explosion did much
damage to the court house and other
buildings struck by missiles. The fire had
little to work on save wreckage. The
contents of the stores are scattered every
where, and not so much as a respectable
line of samples could be secured from the
ruins. The building and contents were
covered by an insurance of more than
$500, 900.
