was taking typhoid fever and insisted
on returning to Pennsylvania lmme-

"Why, he wasn't sick at all-he was
just afraid of me-" answered Watts.
HE was afraid to meet me, for ne
knew if saw him l would kill him.
I stood off the sheriff and seventeen
of his men, all armed, in Brookvllle
once. Those fellows are all afraid of
me. So you came down here to get

objections you like. I am a deputy

up in Illinois, but did not know what
that red-headed fellow and your other
associates in Shawneetown would do,
and, not wanting to be bothered with
them, decided just to bring you right
along"

Watts, who was seated beside me on
the left next to the window, turned
round facing me and said:
"Who are you and where are you
taking me and what have you arrest
ed me for?"
l replied that was a deputy sher-
if from Vermilion and that / had
arrested him on suspicion Of having
committed a burglary there week
before.
"Why, I was never in Vermilion
in my life," Watts answered. You
have made big mistake"
Il guess I'm not very much mistak-
en-" l answered. Some of our citi-
zens saw the burglars when they left
the bank, and have identified you &C.
curately. OF course, if they fail to
identify you on your arrival at Yer
million I will apologize to you and
pay your expenses back to Shawnee
town."
"You say you are deputy sheriff."
asked the prisoner. "Well, don't dep
uty sheriffs have to give bond for the
careful performance Of their duties?"
"Yes.'
"Well, these people won't identify
me-" Watts answered, "and I will
make your bondsmen pay dearly for
this outrage"
We'll see about this" replied. II
can't be mistaken. I have been
deputy sheriff for the past two years
and l have arrested two house thieves
and they were convicted, so I can,
not be mistaken"
well, you are very badly mistaken
now," answered Watts, and with this
ne stopped talking and seemed to be
at his ease, as he knew that he could
not be identified at Vermilion and
felt sure that he would be released.
In due time we arrived at East
St. Louis, when I explained that I did
not care to proceed to Vermilion
that night as I had some business to
attend to, and therefore proposed
that we stay over night in the city
and take the first train out to Yer
million in the morning. Watts ap-
peared perfectly satisfied. According

took him to the Four Courts, turning
him over to Major McDonough, chief

port that in their opinion the city should

Element offered. Outside the question of
guarantees the majority of the committee
recommend the six-cylnder White truck. "
