NAN WITH RECORD.


Three or four days ago the police arrest
ed man known in in this city by the name
Of Aleck Chase, although in other''cities he
passes under the cognomen and is known
as Tcny Grant. When Grant alias Chase
was arrested here he had in his possession
several buffalo robes which he was dispos-
Ing Of al fabulously low prices, any price
in fact, to get rid of them, and thinking
that there was something extremely sus-
picious in this fact


HE WAS "RUN IN"


according TO the most approved fashion
and sU bs.quent developments have proved
that the suspicious Of the police in regard
the gentleman was most eminently correct.
Information Was received from the autbori-
ties al WyaDdotte and Kansas City that
Grant alias Chase was wanted in both those
cities, and yesterday afternoon a deputy
sheriff from Wyandotte


TOOK HIM DOWN TO THAT PLACE
by the o'clock train on the Missouri Paci-
&c. Word was re eiyed from Superinten-
dent Miller, of the Blind Asylum at
Wyandotte, that If Grant had more than
one buffalo robe with him he might safely
be arrested, IA the probabilities were that
any other- he might have we're stolen, from
which it might be inferred that Grant had
one buffalo robe 10 which


HEMGHT LAY LEGITIMATE CLAIM.
A prominent member of the police force of
Kansas City was in the city yesterday on
4 -, g ,.alI-
aiely concerned Mr.. Grant. while two de
putty sheriffs from Wyandotte were here on
business particularly relative to that gen.
tleman. When the authorities at Wyan-
dotte get through with him ii probably
wouldn't be safe for him to be caugh upon
the other eide of the line


AS THEY WANT HIM VERY BADLY
over there and will be very apt TO put him
through when they once get their grasp we'll
fastened upon him. Grant is man who il
very widely known in western police circles
and there are a great many crimes charged
against him, for which he has never been
called TO account. tie is a very dangerous
petty thief, and hiss been concerned in petty
robberies innumersble, both in this State
and in Missouri, and has lo1g been under
| the surveillance of the police in both States.
The specific charges preferred against him
at Wyandotte can doubtless be proven, and
he will probably get


A Deceived TEEN IN THE STATE rENIrEN-
TIARY,


The longer the better for every community

| perate man in every sense OF that much
abused word. and people will breath freer
and property will be much safer when he
il safely under lock and key. He Is a slick
one and has heretofore escaped the deserved

| RUNNING EN- IN.


The police Of this city have been very
active Of late in running in" hard case.
and there are at the present time several in
the city Jail who are serving out sentence.
for vagrancy, the authorities having sem


them up on that charge until come OF theil


crookedness has been more fully developed
Officers from Kansas City have been in tn,
city considerably of late looking after some
. of the gentlemen incarcerated here, one o
: whom is known to be prominent; figure il
thieving circles, while his partner is hard

reputation. Our police have been doini


very good work of late and have made tn


arrest Of several noted criminals who hav


been sent to other places, where the crime


were committed, and several Of whom hav


ben sent the State penitentlary. Tn
