GOOD GAME PUT UP
ON CITY OFFICERS
Anderson'S Concoct a Scheme
TO Evade Arrest.
HAWK AT GREAT BEND
Where Wanted Man Is Sup
posed to Be Located.

u. S. Hawk, deputy city marshal. made
one more attempt to gather the slippery
seller of soap. C. W Anderson. into the
tolls Of the law last evening upon his ar
rival in Great Bend about 7 O'Clock. What
success ne met with was not learned at
late hour last night. Mr.. Hawk left
for that place yesterday afternoon on
the 2:5s O'clock Santa Fe passenger train.
The deputy marshal made the Great
Bend trip On information secured from
an unknown source TO the effect that
Mrs. Anderson was in receipt of a tele-
graph order from Anderson at that place,
for a ticket. She was supposed to have
left for Great Bend on the same train
as MIR. Hawk did. But she didn't About
. 0 clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. An
derson, neatly attired in suit OF some
dark material but her face showing evil
dence of much worriment, called at the
station and secured her ticket TO Great
Send. She was accompanied by brother
who also lives in this city. A short time
before the train was due she loft the
station in company with her brother and
turning into East Douglas avenue the
couple quickly passed from view
When the train arrived Mrs Anderson
failed TO put in an appearance and the
train left few minutes later without
her as a passenger. Mr.. Hawk was on
hand at the station fully thirty minutes
before the departure of the train and
purchased a ticket for Great Bend. When
the train arrived ne boarded it, not, how
ever. without an anxious look on his
countenance as he scanned the faces of
those who boarded the train At the
time Of departure Mr. Hawk had evil
IDENTITY, decided to make the trip if Mrs
Anderson didn't. When last seen the dep
uty marshal was contentedly occupying
a seat in the chair car and
no doubt thinking Of the time
when he will have the op2ortun-
ity OF placing Anderson under arrest. 1t
might be ADDED that Mr. Hawk appeared
10 have his mind fully made up 10 the
effect that Anderson would have a tough
job on his hands If he gain attempted any
funny business with the marshal. To
newspaper reporter about an hour before
train time Mr.. Hawk vouchsafed the fol-
lowing Information, but nothing further
He said: Il am leaving this afternoon for
Great Bend. where, we have received in
formation. Anderson is now located. To-
morrow evening I expect TO return and
bring the man with me-"
While Mr Hawk may have considered
that the information he secured IN re-
gard to Andersons whereabouts was
correct. there are others seen since Mr..
Hawks departure who say that there
has been a well laid plan formed by
which Mrs. Anderson with her 2-year-old
baby is to join her husband and at the
same time avoid being followed or watch
ed by the Wichita officers.
The information furnished the officers
here. by one who knows. is said to have
been extended TO them and greedily
accepted as being true. por-
ton of the alleged real plan. so far as
the exact details can be procured. is as
follows:
Anderson. who has really been in Great
Bend. several days ago telegraphed his
wife from that place. well knowing that
the officers were watching. Mrs. Anderson
and would in all probability follow her
Immediately after receiving the tele-
gram here another was sent by
friend of Mrs. Anderson's by which she
was instructed TO leave the city in an
exactly opposite direction to that stated
in the telegram sent by Anderson and
to an entirely different town. That
place is supposed TO be located on the
Santa Fe in Oklahoma
While Mr. Hawk. or whoever happened
to be detailed TO work on the case. is in
Great Bend the Andersons arranged 10
be many miles from that place when Mr.
Hawk arrives there. By the time he re-
turns to Wichita the ARdersons have
evidently planned to be a safe distance
from Wichita.
Several days ago a man answering
Anderson's description was supposed to
have been selling soap. offering as an in
ducement large premiums. as Anderson
did. While the two schemes were almost
identical. ii is highly improbable that
the naa was the Anderson who had
worked several Wichitans. The descrip-
tons do not tally. and besides. on the
day Anderson was supposed 10 be in
sedgvick he was really in Great Bend
and sent the telegram mentioned above
70 his wife.
