his delicate shading and phrasing were
especially noticeable.

THE REAL KIDWELL NOW
Man Who Escaped From City Hos
pital Is Caught-Another
Attempt to Flee.

Sterling Kidwell. who ESCAPED from tina
contagious ward of the city hospital last
Monday night by means Of a rope made
from his bed clothing, was arrested yes
terday at Merriam Junction and is once
more in the county Jail. Kidwell has
pleaded guilty TO the charge Of grand
larceny and will be sentenced soon.
Kidwell was captured yesterday by +.
g. Nygren. who is farmer near Mer-
Ram Junction. and two other men who
saw the fugitive walking along the rail
road track. They had seen his pictures.
They held him and notified Sheriff Dreger.
Captain Alexander went to Merriam juno
ton after him.
While awaiting the arrival of the Min
neapolis officer, Kidwell made desperate
effort to escape. He was being detained
in the waiting room of the station, and
as a freight train passed he dashed out
OF the window and tried to catch the ca
boose. He missed his hold and started
to run along the opposite side OF the
train. The telegraph operator divinins
his purpose, caught the train and rode
until he was ahead Of Kidwell, when he
dropped off and compelled the fugitive
to return to the station
KidWell treats his escape from the hos
pital as capital joke and chuckles over
it with glee. He says he secured the
clothing he had on when captured from
a barn in which he spent Tuesday night.
He lodged all strangers and kept under
cover until he reached Merriam Junction
where he was arrested.
Kidwell was arrested last January, with
Max zastrow, for robbing the residence
OF w. D. Cleveland. He pleaded guilty
and was remanded to jail to await sen
tence. Shortly. after he was taken i'll OF
diphtheria and was sent to the contagious
ward of the city hospital, whence he es-
