WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

SLIPPERY KING CAUGHT.

 

            Gilbert King who slid out of the window and escaped from Sheriff Hess was brought to the jail by deputy sheriff Bellinger of Weyauwega Saturday. The Sheriff had informed the station agent at Medina Junction to be on the watch for the fellow so Saturday afternoon he wired Mr. Hess that his man was on the afternoon train just off for Waupaca.  The Sheriff phoned Bellinger to watch out for him at Weyauwega, and deputy Arthur Hess and the police took charge of possible avenues of escape here in case he was not seen at Weyauwega.  But Bellinger found the slippery burglar in an emigrant car, put the wristlet’s on him and brought him right along, where he is safely cared for until a later date for examination.
