he let any Of the tribe OF pencil
pushers' enter his presence he would
give them good cussin.' Inas-
much as he spilled all he knew TO
Sheriff Datin. of Ft. Madison, except,
of course, anything concerning the
killing which he is alleged to have
committed, the following authentic ac |
count is from that genial officer.
Sheriff Datin arrived in Mexico
shortly after midnight Saturday, vial
the Chicago 6 Alton. He was met
at the train by Sheriff Woolery, De-
putty Sheriff Barnett and Prosecuting
Attorney Cant. The prisoner was i'm
mediately turned over to the Audrain
county authorities and placed in jail.
Anderson had little to say on his
arrival here. On the train coming
he told some who engaged him In con
yersation he was glad to be back
and had he not been arrested he
would surely have given himself up.
He was more or less pleased with the
morbid attention he attracted and the
bills offering the reward and contain
ing a flattering likeness OF him when
a "jacky" apparently proved enter
ltaining reading. He was rather dis
appointed, though, when he learned
there was but $4OO offered for his
arrest and not 81, 800 as he thought.
