recovered from his injuries in time to
effect the capture of Reynolds. Roy
Clarkson. aged IA years. the son of
Attorney Clarkson. is the hero of
Checks recapture, and his presence of
mind will be cause for regret for that
nervy colored man for some years to
come.
Cheeks, who was arrested by Bur!-
!ngton Detective James Harrison. on
train just entering Onawa, several
weeks ago, was last week convicted of
robbing store in Abba, and was In

and knocked him down. rendering him
temporarily unconscious.
Cheeks then released the other thrae
prisoners. Reynolds, A. Fl. Terry and
c. w. Myers and together the four

climbed into the hay loft of his fathers
barn to secure hay for feeding horses.

but Went on with his work as if he
saw nothing unusual. AS soon as he
could do so without rousing suspicion
he ran to the house and notified Sheriff
Doner. who arrested Cheeks in the
barn. The man was evidently lying
there in the hope OF escaping discovery
until darkness would give him an OPP
to escape from town.
About dusk, Davenport, who had
started west from Abba in pursuit of
the runaways. overlook Reynolds 4

his recapture without much trouble.
AS yet. however. Myers and Terry,
both of whom are white men, are at
large.
Terry was serving n thirty days
sentence and Myers. who was accused
of stealing chickens, had not yet hal
his trial.
