gram from Marshal Hawk, who was then
on the way to get the man.
An alleged plan 10 escape the officers

the last minute, and Anderson was
caught at the Dodge City railroad station
awaiting the arrival of his wife. Mrs.
/ Anderson, after accepting the transpor-
tation TO Dodge City and thereby signi-
fying her intention Of making the trip.
hacked out at the last minute and. il is
said, gave the whereabouts of her hus-
band away to the officers Later. the
railroad transportation was returned to
the local station and redeemed by the
company at the owners request
But for prompt work on the part of the
Dodge City officers Anderson would still
be at large. He was fully aware of the
fact that Marshal Hawk was on the way
ficers. When Hawk telegraphed the Of
ficers to arrest Anderson the latter was
at the railroad station. Being on friendly
terms with the telegraph operator, the
latter showed the telegram to Anderson
and the two men discussed it before it
was delivered to the officers. Anderson
teen prepared to make his escape. but
one of the city officers appearing on the
scene a few minutes later gave chase
and Anderson was captured.
Marshal Hawk arrived in the city yes

The authorities of the above mentioned

This Morning.
RUBBISH CAUSES FIRES

The city ocials decided yesterday that
they would once more clean up the alleys
of the city, and at o'clock this morn
sng Chief Burt will turn loose ten Of
his regular boarders at the city building
with teams. forks and shovels for that
purpose However. he states that this
will be the last time this work will be
done by the city. There is city ordin-
ance which is intcnded TO prevent people
from allowing refuse and rubbish to col
iect in the alleys and hereafter instead
of sending city boarders ont to clean
them, warrants Will be issued for the
guilty persons.
Chief Burt stated yesterday: we have
notified citizens ana business men time
and again not 20 allow boxes and rubbish
of any description to collect in alleys,
but they continue 10 do so. and after
cleaning them up this one time l VIII

rubbish TO collect as it has behind some
of the stores and business housee Of the
city There are places where boxes and
packing are piled up TO the second story
windows and in some instances near large
tanks Of gasoline and coal oil. Should a
stray match or lighted cigar fall among
this trash q bad Ere would undoubtedly
result
Many unnecessary fires have been caus-
ed by this carelessness, and by some
thing the city has an ordinance 10 pre-
vent. For the enlightenment Of some

sections from the city ordinances are re
printed:
