Yesterday when Clyd Daley, alias Viii.

was brought about in a rather peculiar

general principles.
Scott was just released from his term
in the county Jail yesterday when he
was recognized as being wanted in

arrested and landed in the city Jail.
After his Identification to this extent
he was also remembered as one of the

experience about a year ago when he
was city detective. Nash and Officer
Kinney were down under the viaduct
searching for suspicious characters,
when they a upon Scott and a pal.
The latter raced up the Burlington
yards with Kinney in pursuit, while
Nash took after Scott, who sprinted in
an opposite direction. Nash and his
man exchanged several shots and Scott
finally crawled between some moving
