Creel;.
Two arrests were made by the police
early Tuesday mo. nlng, which It Is believed
will prove to be Important In the work of
subduing criminals. Patrolman Herald
noticed a man tampering with the
door of the Karbach restaurant, 418 South
Fifteenth street, but when he spproached
'- fellcw started away'on arun. Herald
'"owed, the chase leading toward Howari
t, where, at the corner, the fugitive
t to hide In the doorway of the
".Tn Paper company. Herald overtook
. nd arrested him there, sending him to the
Htallon.
The man gave th name of Oeorge Peter
son, but when Captain Dunn looked, at him
in the cell room he was recognised as a
well known crook and thief, "Dad" Clark,
ilia Bill McElrath. Dunn had not seen
him for ten years, when he waa in Jail Ir
Kansas City. Sergeant Rentfrow also rec
(grilled him, and Identification was made
more complete from the record In th
rogue' gallery.
On the man's person when arretted was
found a chisel which Ren! f row said Is the
same else as the tool used In breaking open
the front doors of F. G. Trlau's com
mission house, 6PI South Thirteenth street,
and Barkalow Bros.' book store, 830 South
Sixteenth street, a few nights, ago, when
tii in caah was stolen. The polio are
certain the prisoner Is the man who com
mitted those burglaries and that he may
be guilty of other recent jobs.
The other arrest wa that of Dan Mull
qC'.n, who I charged with having taken
a tool kit from a blind piano tuner named
Wade of Council Bluff In the alley In the
rear of the Diamond saloon. 1311 Douglas
treet. Mullquln and Wade went out of
th back door of the saloon together, the
latter being on his way home and carrying
his case of toola. Just as they reached the
alley. It Is charged, Mullquln grubbed
Wade's case, and ran. Wade reported the
matter to Patrolman Wilson and a short
time afterward the officer picked Mullquln
up on Douglas street with the case hidden
in an overcoat under bis arm.
