partment, and accompanied by Chief
Detective Dunno. A crowd of 1000
persons had gathered at the union sta

approaches in every direction, intent
on securing glance at Grove.
The outlaw was in his customary
joyous mood and responded to the
hearty greeting by expressing the wish

crowd before him. Grove was shack

through the depot and he was hustled
into the patrol wagon and driven
straight to the city jail, where he was
lodged on charge of shooting with
intent to kill or wound. After being
placed in a cell he called for beef
