RICHMOND POLICE
MAKE GOOD CATCH
THE DAYTON JAIL BREAKERS
TAKEN IN
AT 3 THIS MORNING
While Crossing Test s Bridge-Arrest
Made by Officer Edwards and Z
Mr.. Alteck.

The Palladium yesterday gave the
information that William Rickers and
Frank Redmond (printed Redinghouse
by mistake) had broken Jail at Day
ton and that the police of Richmond
were notified to be on the lookout for
them.
As this city is the home of the
young men, it was but natural that
they should come this way, and plans
were Immediately outlined to give
them warm reception when they
crossed the State line.
All yesterday afternoon Superin-
tendent Gormon had officers McNally
and Hebble guard the south part of
the city, along the river and south
along the city limits. Then last ev-
ening Officer Edward and Mr. AL
teck of Dayton, whose house the men
robbed, took up picket duty in the
vicinity of Tests bridge and kept
anxious vigil until the wee sma' hours
of this morning.
Hidden from view the two men
anXiously awaited what they felt sure
would come, and at 3 O'Clock this
morning they were aroused by APP
preaching footsteps The pale moon
shone brightly through the overhang-
ing branches and soon revealed the
forms of Rickers and Redmond steal
thlly making their way toward the
bridge. At the proper moment the
officer and Mr.. Alteck stood at .spre-
sent arms" and demanded the men
to "halt,' which they promptly did.
and were placed under arrest and
brought to the city Jail.
Rickers lives near Tests and il is
the supposition of the officers that
they We're intent on going to Ricker's
home, securing funds and something
to eat and then start for South Da-
kota, where they intended going.
The two offenders were taken back
to Dayton this morning.
The catch is considered good one
and the officers are to be commended
for the prompt arrest of the offenders.
A reward of 500 each had been Of
fered, and big slice of this will come
to the Metropolitan police force Of

Professor Fiske Keeps House.

The base insinuation that man
can not keep house is fully refuted in
the case of Professor w. A. Fiske
of the city high school. He can go
all the PAGES of the most expert house
keeper-milk the COW, churn and all
that, and it is fine butter, too, that he
turns out. So let the story that a
man can not keep house rest in the
limbo of exploded and forgotten

BUT W. II. PICKENs WAS NOT
WITH HIM
COM PLlCATlONS AROSE
Pickens Released Before Arrival of
superintendent Gormon-War-
rant Had to be Changed.
COM PLlCATlONS AROSE


ed from Terre Haute without Pickens
the owner of 1899" Superintendent
Gormon says that Pickens' attorney,
named Hughes, went before the po-
lice judge and had Pickens released
on a writ Of habeas corpus and the
superintendent did not lay eyes on
him. Attorney Hughes is holding
81, 100 gate receipts.
The Terre. Haute Express of last ev-
elling has the following account of the
affair:
"W. III. Pickens and his dare devil
hired man. who disappointed about
five thousand people Of this city Sun
day afternoon, was in temporary re-
lief from the enraged public by agree
ing to make the '999' 60 against time
at the fair ground, next Sunday, but
it proved a case of 'out of the frying
pan, ETC. This complication results
from the fact that Manager Pickens
was arrested last night on instructions
from the chief of police of Richmond,
Ind, and sent to Jail pending the ar
rival of the Richmond officers. When
! the message was received, Captain
| Beattie and Detective Smith went to
the Terre Haute house and placed
| Pickens under arrest. Two weeks ago
! the two men brought up at Richmond
with thsE$ Peculiar bloody machine
and as they did in Terre Haute an
nounced terrible rum against time.
| A large crowd gathered, but the ma
chine, they claimed, wouldn't work,
and after keeping the crowd waiting
for a couple of hours Newkirk and
Pickens announced that the run would
not be made. No other explanation
was made. The machine was attached
to pay bills.
Pickens is Released.
! "Pickens was released today and
proceeded to repair his machine. He
said '999' would be ready for test
Thursday, when he would invite the
representatives of the press out to
see it, and further stated that he
would give the exhibition Sunday as
he had promised. He says Newkirk
should not be blamed at all in the
matter, as he is merely hired to run
the machine. Pickens claims he is
willing to take all of the criticism
and declares that next Sunday he will
vindicate himself before Terre Haute
people. He says the Richmond Incl
dent was wholly unavoidable. There
it was that the machine broke, and
when the chief Of police demanded
that he pay the money back there
were several hundred more dollars
demanded than had been taken in.
He refused to be robbed. he says. and
engaged lawyer and was ready to
stand trial.
Pickens Warrant Changed.
"The warrant for the arrest Of w.
! H. Pickens, the manager of the auto
mobile racer '999' who has been in
/ trouble here for the last two days,
was this morning found to be deficient
in that it had no certificate attached
and Sheriff Gormon of Richmond, who
brought the warrant, has sworn out
| fugitive warrant and at o'clock this
afternoon the court ordered that Pic
kens be brought into court for trial
At at late hour he had not made his
appearance. but his attorneys claimed
| that when it was made plain that it
was necessary to produce him he
would appear In court.
