encounter, quietly Swallowed them and
awaited results. When they reached
a lonely spot on Broadway, the officer
saw Walker lunge toward his wife,
who screamed loudly for help, and ran
across the street The officer appear
ed at that time and seized the irate
negro and placed him under arrest.
When he called OF the woman to re-
turn, assuring her protection, she de
nounced him bitterly and threatened
him with disaster if he did not release

a different view of the situation, how
ever, and in spite of the woman's pro-
tests, Ellis was conducted to prison
where he will remain until he is

DR.. w. c. Patton, the wcll-knOWr
surgeon, was sued in the Circuit Court
yesterday by Mrs. Elligood who asks
$4,000 damages for a strain on her
nerves.
Mrs. Elligood says DR.. Patton talk
ed so rudely to her that her health was
impaired. She states in her petition
that he called at her home and during
an argument which followed, she al
leges, he spoke to her in an ungcntlc-

Elligood, filed the suit. The petition
states that size has been damaged to
the extent of $4,000
NJ A. Dempsey, attorney for DR.,
Patton, informed The Tribune last
night that the suit did not have enough
foundation to be considered seriously.

that the litigation was based upon q
misunderstanding, interviewed Mrs.
Elligood.
"He acted in the capacity as a mu-
tual friend to Mrs. Elligood and to
the young men. He merely asked Mrs.
Elligood to drop her suit, because he
believed it would be injurious to the
young men and could accomplish moth
ing.
"Mrs. Elligood was confined to her
bed at the time, and was in highly
nervous state. The subject excited her
and she collapsed. Then DIR. Patton,
of course, brought the conversation to
an end. | am unable to discover any
injury that she could have sustained.
He was her family physician and was
acting only as a friend"

With BOOSTERS,
Locked in Jail
John Griffin Used Cockerels

Policeman Groce When Ar
rested.

John Griffin, young farmer, living
seven miles west of this city, came to

ing him in time for an early departure

He carrei his feathered friends
with him all over the city yesterday
and at night when he sought rest in

dealer, he was found by Policeman
Groce lying on his back in state of
calm repOs,, with a young rooster
perched on each of his feet, gazing
anxiously al the weary features of the
tired master.
At the approach of the officer, the
birds cacklcd wildly in their efforts to
warn Mr.. Griffin of the intrusion.
When he was finally aroused, he ad-
vised the officer that the chickens
were his constant companions and that
they had been trained TO crow at a
certain hour each morning, and that he
had taught them to alternate so that
when one grew weary The other would
relay him and thus maintain a cOntinu-
Gus reveille until he was thoroughly
awakened.
When taken to the police station
Griffin requested that the chickens be
permitted to roost in the cell with him.

would be we'll cared for in the base

sec that he was not permitted to over

Writes Suspect Letter and Cap
lures Him as He Goes Into
POstOffice.

| Scott Gillespie, Chief of Police OF
Puxico, arrived in this city last night
from st. Louis where he had gone to
assist in the apprehension and arrest
/ Of an escaped convict from the Wyan-
dotte County Jail at Kansas City
Mans.
The fugitive sought is known as
Henry Edward Estes, H. +. Crosby
Ed Perry and numerous other aliases,
and when arrested yesterday by the
St. Louis officers at the suggestion OF
Mr.. Gillespie, the prisoner gave his
name as George McCracken.
Mr.. Gillespie says that his prisoner
was at one time in Puxico, but only
remained short time. A few days
after his disappearance, Mr.. Gillespie
stated that he received inquiries con
corning a man whose description and
picture correspondent to the stranger
he had met a short time before.
BY clever ruSe he learned through
other parties in Puxico that his man
was in st. Louis and was receiving
mail at the post office, through gencr-
al delivery.
A few days ago the officer wrote
letter to lie alleged fugitive and on
the same Train rode into St. Louis
where he enlisted the aid of the po-
lice in that city to effect the capture.
The arrest was made when the par
ty called for his mail He gave his
name as George McCracken, and Mar
shall Gillespie says that he voluntarily
admitted being a wife deserter but de-
MED having broken Jail, or having
committed any robbcrics or fOrgerics
1t is believed, however, that he is
the man who broke Jail at Kansas
City, Kan, on April %. 1918, where
he had been confined since his release
from the L. S. Pcnitcntiary at Lcav-
cnworth on Feb. Is, 1915, awaiting
trial for the robbery of the post office
at Hill Top, Mans, on March u, 1913.
1t s said that he is also wanted for
forging money orders.
the prisoner was left in charge of
the st. Louis authorities pending the
arrival of the Kansas officers who
have been notified and will arrive in
st. Louis today.
