The man told officers that he had
entered into a brief conversation with
the fugitive Sunday, while Dickerson

by Atlanta authorities, the informant
notified police that he had seen Dicker-

NEW ORLEANS, October 13.--
Frank Gilbert, 35-year-old World
War veteran, yesterday probably
took the last and most enjoyable
train ride of his life. He was
being borne home to his mother
and child in Chicago in the care
of his American comrades. They
had found him dying in hos
pital here from a lung infection
and undertook to satisfy his one
wish that he might die at home.
When the special train bearing
the Board of Trade Post members
pulled out of New Orleans, Gill
bert was aboard, so buoyed by the
prospects of returning home the
doctors believe he will survive
the trip.

Among the interesting experiences
he had was the occasional killing W
rattlesnakes and blacksnakes that
crossed his path. His method was to
cast plug at them and stun them
and then kill them with club, or
trample them. 20 rattlesnakes and
six blacksnakes were killed in this
manner. At one place in Louisiana
he was annoying an alligator by
casting plug at it and when he
stepped forward to place his foot on
a log at the edge OF the water to i'm
prove his position he discovered the
| log" was another alligator. He quit
bothering alligators for that day.
During his trip Mr.. ferguson had
many interesting experiences. He
slept out in the open, dined with
millionaires and found shelter and
food in lowly mountain huts. Where
ever he went he told the story Of Min
nesota and at the same time COM
pleted what is probably the world:
