Big Four Brakeman Arrested
at Indianapolis Last Night.

The child was born three or four days ago. -- Yesterday, as the freight on which Burgess "brakes" was passing through this city, it is said that some of our officers tried to get him. They were unsuccessful, owing to the efforts of the conductor in charge of the train. At Fairland an attempt of constables also failed. Haehl got the man at Indianapolis last night as the latter was preparing to leave the State, probably for Oklahoma.
Burgess is well known in Moral township. His mother, who is a widow, resides near London, and is a highly respected lady. Young Burgess was arraigned in Squire Keith's court today, and was released on $500 bond. The preliminary hearing will take place on March 1st at 10 o'clock.
