Martin Waukenhut, deputy sheriff,, made a capture Sunday which nat only redounded to his credit as an offteer but netted him a reward of $50. Some timO last year William Wade, son of John Wade, a prominent farmer of Lima to-svnship, was arrested in Minnesota for robbing a man of $180. He was convicted and senteneed to five years in the St. Cloud prison. Th is was the flrst scrape that Wade ever gat into. Mis previous reputation wks lcxked into by the prison board and found good. He was allo-wed liberties and was even paroled for short times. The temptation became too great last January and he flew f rom the restrictions of the prison. He carne home here after a while. The prison authorities offered $50 for his recapture. Waukenhut heard where he was and went after him Sunday. Wade was milking a cow when Waukenhut drove up. He suspec-ted what the visit meant, and, dropping the apparatus he had in his hand as if it was a tarĂ¡ntula, he started to run. The crafty little offlcer took after him and the chase led through quite an underbrush. Wade, seeing. that he was being gained upon, dropped down very foxy in hopes that Waukenhut would pass him. In the meantime the offlcer had threatened to snoot, although this was simply a Morro (whieh is the Spanish for a "tall bluff"). Waukenhut ran by where Wade was hiding when he tumbled to the fact that Wade was not any further in the direction in which he was going. He retraced his steps and lit onto his man and lodged him in the Chelsea bastile for the night. The authorities at St. Cloud were notified and yesterday afternoon Deputy Warden Norton arrived here and took back his man.
