For Past Two Years.


received at the governors office to-
day from New York city to the eff
feet that John A. Flack, cashier and
wrecker Of the Abilene State bank,
was under arrest there and asking
about the reward. Flack has been
sought for two years.
Flack has been quietly sought by
the Security company which was on
his bond, every since his flight. He
has been located by them several
times but changed his location near
ly every week and escaped arrest.
He was first located working in
bologna factory, then changed his
location to book bindery and sew
eral other occupations claimed his
attention. He was captured running
hot tomala joint and the identifi-
cation is positive.
1t is supposed he had been re-
ceiving aid and information from
New York parties and also persons
In Kansas and was kept informed as
to the efforts being made for his
apprehension.
The Kansas authorities telegrapheu
today that officers are now on the
way to take the prisoner back to
Abilene.
Flack was really captured by the
National Surety company of New
York City. He was held in the Of
fices of that company yesterday un-
til complete Identification was made
then the officers were called in. The
National Surety company was not on
Flack's bond, but was asked by the
state banking department to assist
in running him down.
A Long Chase.
1--WE have captured many Grimm
ais" said Bank Commissioner Dolley
yesterday, "embezzlers and bank rob-
bers. But there has never. been a
man who has given us such chase
as Flack. He is clever. He eluded
our men time after time when they
had him-almost He went from
Abilene to Chicago, from there to
New York, to Brooklyn. to Hobo
ken, back to New York, then wan
dered back and forth in that great
city. ~
"FIe worked one place for few
days and lived in one place few
days. He would then get new job
and move his residence. He has
moved a hundred times. He has
held almost that many jobs. We

i Mr.. Searles after him. Searles
reached the factory Monday morning
and Flack had quit work Saturday

Another time, we located him in
bookbindery, but by the time we
thought we were. close enough to
Hay our hands on him he had gone,
It is far more difficult to find a
criminal in great city like New
York than it is in a wilderness.
'Searles once had Flack's rooming
house located. He waited outsidt(
in below-zero weather for hours and
hours, until he froze his feet and his
hands. Just as he was ready to
give it up room for rent sign was
hung up on the front of the house,
Flack had skipped again. Searles
rented the room and managed to
get all over the house and to satisfy
himself that Flack was not there.
Flack has sold peanuts, worn a mus
tache, whiskers and numerous other
DISCUSSES in order to elude the Off
Gals, but we finally landed him."

We are living In an age of immense

In the social revolution now in prog
