FELLOW IS LATER ARRESTED
Accused of Attempting To Hold Vp
F. M. llrookii Boy filves His
Name As Frank Aldrich
Denies Crime.
Alleging that he had been held up
by an unknown man as he was pro
ceeding along Sheridan street in the
vicinity of Dysinger's mill, K. M.
Brooks, a guest at the Grand hotel
last night appealed to the ofllcers
for assistance In running down the
alleged bandit.
Securing a description of the alleg
ed hold-up man, the officers started
in the direction of the jungles, and
upon reacning a point below Dyslng
er s mill accosted a transient, who.
from appearances, had no specific
destination in view.
The fellow was immediately rec
ognized by tne ofllcers as the man
who hud been taken In custody a
short time after the arrival of train
No. 16, and Inter made his escape.
At that time he was pointed out to
Night Officer Chambers by a brake
man, who chanced to notlco him
perched between the locomotive and
the baggage car. Chambers effected
the man's arrest, and upon escorting
him to a point near the conductors
room, left him standing outside
whllo he went within to converse
with the brnkeman. When he re
turned, the transient had flown, and
a half hour's search failed to divulge
his whereabouts.
Believing hat the follow was
headed toward the "jungles". Cham
bers started In pursuit, and had trav
eled but a short distance when he
met llrooks. Noticing that Cham
bers was an officer. Brooks told him
that some one had suddenly darted
from behind a tree, and inter accost
ed him an asked whether or not
he had any money. Brooks appar
ently ,did not stop to argue 'the
question, but on the contrary took to
his heels and ran.
When questioned following his ar
rest, the transient gave his name as
Frank Aldrich, and informed the of
ficers that ho was recently released
from a detention homo In Califor
nia, lie said ho was 16 years of
age, and denied that he Intended to
engineer a hold-up as alleged. On
the contrary he said he had a "flash
light", which he desired to sell In
order to obtain money with which to
Becure a bed.
Brooks spent some time with the
prisoner this morning, and it Is not
probable that he will prosecute. In
fact, he seems to entertain pity for
the lad, who, from appearances, has
seen better days.
