A DESPERATE CHARACTER
CAPTURED.
Monday afternoon as the Daily
forms for the evening paper were
about to be put on the press des-
perate character was captured after
an exciting chase. Some time ago a
man and woman came here and in
fserted an ad. in the daily seeking
work. Nov. Goth they went to work
at the Worthington hotel represent
ing that they were man and wife.
All went we'll until Monday after
noon when the man g identity was
discovered.
Sheriff Reiter having received
photographs of the party was natu-
rally on the lookout for him. The
sheriff, N. Loreditsch, of Hays City
Ellis county, Kansas, traced him as
far as Ellsworth with a team of
horses and in company with sheriff
Reiter has been looking for Boyd in
the vicinity of Ellsworth for a few
days back. Monday morning deputy
sheriff McNair had occasion to go
into the laundry of the Worthington
hotel and while there noticed the
man but kept his counsel until he
saw some other officer and then it
was decided that Boyd was the man
wanted. Monday the sheriff from
Kansas was going to Minneapolis and
was informed Of the discovery so he
stopped off. He went to the hotel
and in company with officers McNair
and Roshon, Boyd was called into
the parlor, he was at once identified
as the man wanted. McNair, while
|Roshon was behind the man to
watch him, slipped pair of hand
cuffs on 80 quick that the fellow did
not realize what had happened. He
was then requested to come along
with the officers to the Jail but want
led the handouts taken off until he
put his coat on which the officers de-
clined to permit and told him they
would throw one over his shoulders.
On request he in company with his
wife and officers went up the back
stairs his wife between him and the
officers. AS soon as they reached
the top of the stairs he started and
run down the other stairs through
the parlor into the street, cutting
across the blocks to w. w. Loveless
barn then down into the vicinity of
Jos Loveless residence, MI. Doolttle
Blair and Jos. Loveless and others
after him. Some where he picked
up neckyoke. Loveless got an ak
and went after him and Blair had
gun. Boyd raised the neckyoke to
strike but with the gun and ak star
ing him in the face he surrendered
and was taken to the Jail with the
handouts still on Blair fired a shot
in the air to frighten him.
: It appears that he was serving
time in the Jail at Hays .ity, Kans.'
for grand larceny in the first degree
and while there woman smuggled
. revolver to him with which he
shot at the jailer and .es aped. AT
Denver Colo. an officer discovered
him and was about to place him un-
der arrest having covered him with
a revolver while tying his horse,
Boyd rushed up grabbed his hand
and j. wrenched the revolver away
from him and escaped and up to the
present time his where abOuts were
not known. The sheriff from Kan
sas say the woman with him is not
his wife. He was arrested in Kan
sas under the name Of Charles Ker-
fuss. The woman with him is no"
in the Jail both being in
separate cell The chase caused con-
81 derable excitement for a time.
The Kansas sheriff gives all the
credit Of the capture to the officers
here For all the chase it can be
termed q very clever capture as 1T is
said Boyd would shoot on the
highest provocation or suspicion
hat he was to be arrested. Worth
