since been at large.
a few days ago. Mr.. solomon received
a tip from Michigan that Stormes was
in Little Rock. Ark. He consulted his
old files and found a book containing an
address Of Stromes' sister in that city.
1t is very hard for Capt. Solomon to
keep out of the game Notwithstanding
the fact that he is not now on the force.
He went TO Chief williams with his
information and was detailed to go TO
Little Rock to see if he could capture
his man.
The result is that Stormes is again in
custody. He will now stand trial in
the courts Of this county for assault
with intent to kill. He is also wanted in
Kalamazoo for burglarizing a hardware
and in Freedom. Pa, for the same Of
Tense.
Stormes anticipated capture and wore
in his belt a couple of saws with which
he nearly escaped from the Little Rock
Jail although incarcerated only a little
over an hour. Fad Away Jimmie
