AFTER ISAAC.
THE STARK COUNTY HAWK
SHAW BADLY WANTED.

The Sheriff of Tnscarawas County
Comes to Canton to Look For Detec-
tive waIkup-There is an Indictment
Against Him-His Bondsmen Join in
the Chase.
It is reported that Detective Isaac Walkup
is much wanted in Tuscarawas county. Sheriff
Adams, of Tuscanwas county, has been in
Canton for three days looking for the spOrtive
slouth. He is under indictment by the Tus-
carawas county grand jury for an alleged at
tempt to backmail Henry collars, in the
sum of $500. Other indictments await him If
he goes back to TusCarawas county. When
Isaac was bound over to count on the charge
named, he gave Amos b. Mase and John Buss
as security for his appearance. The bond was
in the sum of 81, 900. When the indictment
was found Isaac could not be discovered. He
suddenly decided to visit other parts. Now he
is much wanted because there is question
as to the legality of the bond
owing to the fact that both sureties reside out
side of Tuscarawas county. 1t is probable
however that they could be held for the
amount of the bond, hence the bondsmen are
as anxious as any one else to get hold of him.
Walkup did some alleged detective work in
and around Navarro and Bolivar. His
business was to look up some stock
thieves and find out who robbed Findlay
Lash. 1t will be remembered THAI Lash claim.
ed to have been overpowered and tied 10 q tree,
but while scutlllng he says he got rid of his
pocketbOok by throwing it in the grass. This
story is not entirely accepted. Walkup never
found out much about the case anyway, and
did not report on the other cases, though he
got some money for his work.
He did however, cause the arrest Of David
Parks, accusing him of stealing some tools.
Parks is bound over to the Stark county pro-
bate court but 1t is not likely the case will ever
be heard. Parks is a respectable citizen and
even the man who owned the tools says that
he is sorry he ever met Walkup. From re-
ports il appears that Walkup went
down TO that part Of the county
for the purpose of creating sensation.
He succeeded but is now taking the butt end
Of the fun. When he picked up Mr.. Parks he
got hold Ofa tartar.
Sheriff Adams is continuing his hunt for
Walkup, with hopes of finding him. Parties

Bureau, of Pittsburg. Such is not the fact as
