Sheriff Williams and Deputy
Atchison Made Catch.
Traced the Fugitive to Town in
Northern Wisconsin.
Upper Was on Point of Leav-

From Tuesdays Daily.

from tuesdays DAILY.
Sheriff Williams and Deputy Sheriff
George Atchison returned at noon today
from Witnee, Wis, town of 400
population in the pine woods l55 miles
north of st. Paul, having in their
custody Ben upper, who made his es.
cape from the county Jail couple of
weeks ago. Sheriff Williams had heard
that Upper mad written to relatives at
Chadron, Neb., and elsewhere that he
was going to Withee, so he laid his
plans for capturing the fugitive.
Sheriff Williams knew that Upper
knew him so well that he stood no
show of getting near him, so he took
Mr.. Atchison, who neither knew Upper
nor was known by him. They left
Mankato at 4:45 a. M, yesterday and
reached Withee at noon. Going at once
to hotel, Mr.. Williams staid under
cover, while Mr.. Atchison went to the
postoffice and waited. 1t was known
that Upper was going under the name
of George B. Collins, and the postmis-
tress said that he had been there q
short time before and would probably
soon be back.
Presently man came in and asked
whether there was any mail for George
B. Collins, and the young lady nodded
to Mr.. Atchison and he took the man
into custody. At first he stoutly de-
MED that he was Upper, and only ad-
mitted it when he was told that Mr..
Williams was in town.
Upper had completely disguised him.
SELF He had shaved off his mOustache,
wore green goggles, a white hat and
green trousers. He formerly lived at
Witnee, but though he had been there
for three or four days none of the
townspeople, had recognized him in his
makeup. He was expecting letters, and
planned to leave yesterday afternoon
for Canada.
Upper gave no reason for running
away, except that his wife took his
imprisonment hard. He said that when
he left the jail he went over the bluff
east of the city and circled about and
then struck off toward Eagle Lake and
Madison Lake and then went to LIE
Sueur Center and thence to st. Peter,
where he caught train to Merriam
Junction, Then he took a Minneapolis
& st. Louis train for Minneapolis, and
in this way kept on going until he got
to Withee. When he got there he went
three miles into the country and re-
turned yesterday morning. 1t was less
than half an hour after the officers ar
rived that he was arrested, as he ex-
pected mail on the train that they ar
rived on. He was greatly surprised to
find himself arrested.
Sheriff Williams displayed much abil-
ity in landing his man, and was ably
assisted by Deputy Sheriff Atchison.
They made good pair of sleuths.
