This afternoon, as MIR. Rogers, who

run for his liberty.
Charles Lydon, chief of the fire de-
partment was in the neighborhood
when the prisoner made his break.
and after a long run captured him in
the brush below the wood yards.
After he was brought back, Chief
Savage ordered a ball and chain
strapped to his foot, but Gates. who
was not used to violent exercise, was
so weak after his run he could not 20
to work.
1t was during the early part of
Chief Savage's crusade against these
characters that Gates was sentenced.
He was given a chance to leave. and
sentence suspended. The officers did
not bother him again as long as he
complied with the rules but last night
they got word he was sleeping in the
house of Vivian Gates and went to
arrest him.

Gates was trying to get out VIM

No one knows it but u.s." pleaded
Gates. Let. me go, and I'll give you

Not today said Tabor. Gentry
came in about that time and again
Gates put up his argument that only
the three of them knew of the matter
and he was willing to part with a ten
spot on the ground.
The sentence against Gates is 20
days on the rock pile and a $50 fine.
The officers are highly indignant at
his attempt at escape and it is proba-
BILE he will have to serve the entire
sentence.
