Gansel received a message from Nordmont one day last week stating that a man answer ing to the description of Meyers, a fugative murderer on whom a large reward is offered for his capture, was riding on the freight train north ward bound. Mr. Gansel at once procured flrearms and hurried to the station prepared to execute his official duties, however dangerous they might be. By the time the train had reached Laporte there was a good sized gathering of men and boys armed with rocks and clubs ready to give assistance if any was needed. All were considerably ex cited but none more so than the hobo himself when confronted with such a formidable array of captors. He yielded willingly to the officer's I commands, and when questioned I stated that he was looking for work and would gladly stop off here if such ! could be secured. A close examina tion proved that he did not answer Ito Meyer's description and he was I left togo his way.
