The Sheriff of Mills County Goes to Clarinda, Iowa, for Alex
Hunter, Arrests the Wrong Man, and While Going to the
Train With Supposed Prisoner, Hunter Escapes.
Last Friday, jf.Uiyyn., iiu.othcr j hustled (y the Mills counjy. prison
thapi or, ;ps Added i, ih inysio-y
thai surrounds Hit1 tragedy wturti
culminated, in Hie deal Ii of John,
Warner nn llw night of OH ober
14, al 'or' near 'flu-' curve bridge,
west of Pacific Junloiotv.
Alex Hunter, lh; m;n charged
by own wifi' as having murdered-,:'
Wagner, , aaiusl whom
there an' strong . f'.jr.enni.slanoes
point in u- to his gnili, lias, since
Ihe. (Crime,, if, crime, il, was,, was
committed. .has been working for
McMakori & Hon at Clarinda, Iowa,
until last, Friday afternoon he
-disappeared from the ranks of the
toilers and , has not been seen
since, by anyone in Uiut Jooalily..,
I On that, afternoon the sheriff of
Mills rounty and his deputy went
to Clarinda with the avowed pur
pose of securing Huritdr,, whom
they believe 1o lie the person re.
Sponsible for Wagner's death.
The conclusion having been
reached from a recital of events
by Hunter's wife related to the
police at Council Bluffs ten days
after Wnimer's dead body was
discovered under Hie trestle. .
The olllcers swooped down up
on the group of men al work for
McMaken fc Bon, 'arid without any
preliminary irutniry, nailed one of
filarindn's ciliens, clapped the
handcuffs on his wrists and lead
him away to I he station to be
t , (iienwooii, mere jo await rn
trial fur murder, before board
ing' the train the cautious Mills
county officials examined tho arm
of , the prisoner to ascertain
whether he had tin.1 tatoo marks
said l,o lie worn by Hunter, and
I found such marks entirely want
ling, whci'eijpoti the ollicials at
'(nice released the Clarinda man
n rid again sought the paving
! gang, where they expected to find
ilunler. ... u ; ,
, Tho man seized ami handcuffed
resembled Ilunler somewhat in
appearance, but lacked Ihe tatoo
marks on (he arm, . When the
officials reached Ihe works Ihe
Fecund' llrti ifi) nter had slipped
Into his coat and disappeared. He
fore he did so he inquired of one
of Ihe workmen the cause of the
visit of Ihe officers from Mills
county arid was lold that tho
flie riff was looking for him: he
then decamped without, further
ceremony and his whereabouts
are unknown,
To thus attempting to evade Ihe
ollicei'S Ilunler raises a presump
tion of his guilt, and Ihe circum
stances surrounding the dealh of
Wnsrner, taken with Hunter's
flight from the , Mills county
authorities, would seem to
strengthen (he claim of those who
believe that Ilunler committed Ihe
crime.

been anxious for the light com
pany lo lake, and wo feel sure
lhal when it is once installed that

allow Ihe service to be discon
tinued. This is a long step to
ward placing Platlsnionth in Ihe
first rank of cities of its class in
Ihe wesf.

safe in 'predicting- ; still greater
things for Plattsmoiilh 1 in Ihe
