The rain washed out a part of the
railroad track at Arkalon last Satur
day morning and as a result the
train did not get to Liberal that
up, but saw no one arouna tne
building. Evidently the party did
not go back after the explosion, as
all his tools were found in the store
in the morning. No money was se
cured except about 50 pennies taken
from the money drawer.
Suspicion was at once placed on
a tramp who had been around town
for several days and several parties
started south and east in pursuit,
but returned Saturday evening with

telegram Sunday evening stating
that the man could be found at
Minneola. Monday morning Claud
Leach and R. P. Smith, deputy
sheriff, with a warrant went on the
train to Minneola, from where they
drove out in a buggy. They located
the fellow in a straw stack near Ford
City Monday about dark. They
wired Sheriff Judd to meet them at
Minneola, from where the suspect
