LEO KING CAP
TURESDESPER-
ATE CRIMINAL
Had Escaped From Peniten-
tiary at Chester--Was Serv-
ing Life Sentence
CAPTOR RECEIVES
Prisoner Identified By Prison Of
ficials and Returned to Chester
to Serve Sentence

When Leo King the well known
young tie inspector stepped into
the depot at Seventysix Wednesday
night, little did he dream that he
was soon to become the hero OF a bitter
conflict with the daring arrest OF a
desperate criminal whose record Of
crime was sufficient to make the
most seasoned desperate hunter think
seriously before engaging him in an
attempt at capture. However, Leo
had that very experience, except that
the fugitive didn't make any physical
resistance, merely trying to talk his
way out of the difficulty.
On last Monday two convicts es-
capped from the Penitentiary at Ches-
ter, ILL.,, and the authorities of that
institution Immediately circulated no
tees containing pictures and descrip-
tions of the fugitives with the hope
of accomplishing their capture and
return.
One of them, Albert Kellems, who
was sent from Edwards County ILL.,,
for murder, seven years ago, to serve
term of 90 years, made his appear
ance at the depot at Seventysix
Wednesday evening at about $3.50
O'Clock. At the time he entered the
depot the agent was absent, but sew
eral negros engaged in loading ties
were sleeping there. They engaged
him in conversation until the Agent,
A. L. Dean, arrived. Dean immediate
ly recognized the stranger as one OF
the criminals wanted. Being pos
sessed of but one arm, he did not
feel it advisable to express his sus'
picions until he was certain of aio
in case the suspect attempted tC
escape. Leo made his appearance
at the opportune time, and the two
made comparisons of the picture
with the man who was waiting, anC
mutually agreed that they had the
right man spotted. Leo slipped ou
to the store nearby in search of hi
father, John King, whom he founC
and brought back to the depot with him
When they submitted questions, the
stranger stated that his name wa,
j. p Robson and that he had come
from East st. Louis. He was slight
ly crippled in one hip. and he account
ed for that by the statement tina
he was thrown out of a box ca
Just as he was leaving East ST. Louis
He was dressed in nothing but {
thin shirt and pair Of convict pant
and little office cap. He was unde
the influence of liquor and statct
that he secured his drinks at MenfrC
when he crossed the river. At tn,
time of his capture he had twenty
cents in money and pint of whiskcl
on his person. He was taken into
back room and examined closely
and several deep and ugly scars
were found on his body. After thu
examinations and questions were com
pleted the men felt sure that they
were not mistaken in their man, an,
accordingly had him taken to Wit

Twenty years ago, when the edi-
tor of the Star was citizen of De-
Land, he numbered among his
friends John Chandler, son of one of
Volusia county's old and most hon
ored citizens. and mighty good
man himself. That was almost a
quarter of a century ago, so this
morning, when a solid and alert
docking old gentleman, whose blue
eyes cleaned out from under his
white hair almost as brightly as
they did under brown locks twenty
odd years ago, entered the Stars
sanctum, it took a second look tc

The railroads are affected by the
hard times-theIefore improve
ments required of them for the ac-
commodation of the people must
wait. The people are also affected
by hard times, but they must pay
for transportation in advance and
freight C. o. D. Some of these days,
the people will have sense enough
TO take possession of the railroads
and run them to benefit all instead
of the few.

One or our citizens has just been
telling the Star a story about the
customs of the rough men who work
in the mines and lumber camps of
the northwest. Paid off Saturday
afternoon, all the men will turn out
for a. good time. Two huskies will
meet and one will say he is a better
man than the other. The other will
.1s'..zpute it, of course; so they will set
to work to decide the matter with
their fists. They will batter each
other till one cries enough or both
are tired out. Then they will go
and take a drink together and the
incident will be closed. Rough, of
course; maybe. bar1barous. But we
need some of that spirit in our city
affairs. Not SO much the disposition
to beat each other, but willingness to
forget each controversy before we
go forward to the next one. In at
tending to public affairs, let US try
to remember that it is all in the
game. Lets pay more attention to
playing fair and observing the rules
than winning. BY SO doing we can
eliminate much of the bitterness
that is clog on civic progress.
