HE WAS A FRIEND OF DIRT

Because he insisted on sweeping on Sunday, Abe Saunders, a porter in Sandy Edward's saloon at 1012 Union avenue, was stabbed in the side by John Wilson yesterday morning. Wilson was passing the saloon when Saunders was sweeping out.
" It's unlucky to sweep on Sunday," said Wilson.
" Don't care if it is," replied Saunders. " Ah'll sweep anyway."
Wilson attacked Saunders, and when he saw he was going to be whipped, drew a knife and cut him several times in the body and might have seriously wounded him but for the arrival of a policeman. Saunders' wounds were dressed by the police surgeon. Wilson was held on a charge of assault with intent to kill.

KANSAS CITY BOY SHOT

New Orleans, Jan. 10---A young man giving the name of Alvah Pearl Hubbard, who says his home is at 546 Lydia avenue, Kansas City, was arrested the other day at Lake Charles, La., together with three other young men, charged with robbery. Yesterday they planned a jail break. Arming themselves with clubs and pieces of iron they prepared to make a break for liberty.
When the officers entered the cage to quell the disturbance, the prisoners pounced upon two of the deputies and were about to overpower them, when one of the keepers drew his revolver and shot several times. One shot took effect in Hubbard's shoulder and is feared to be a bad wound. He is only 16 years of age and when he found how badly he was wounded asked that his parents in Kansas City be telegraphed. The request was granted.

POSTAL ROBBER CAUGHT

Alva Earl Sweaza, 25, former convict and postal robber, who made a daring escape from the city jail in Cape Girardeau on the night of October 16, was captured Monday night in East St. Louis, Illinois.
With him at the time was a young woman, who gave her name as Esther Sargent. This is the same name as that given by a young woman who was arrested by police at a downtown hotel after Sweaza's escape, but who was subsequently released.
The arrest was made by St. Louis detectives and East St. Louis police officers under the direction of Postal Inspector Mayer. The woman, it is said, had been shadowed from the time of her release here, it being the theory that she would rejoin Sweaza.
Sweaza, who told officers he had been in custody many times since he was 13 years of age, was arrested and admitted the burglary of the post office at Lodi, Wayne County, in which $50 in postal currency and 21 blank money orders, in addition to securities of the postmaster were taken.
Jacob "Hard Boiled" Smith, a former guard at Leavenworth Federal Prison, and a companion of Sweaza in the post office burglary, sustained a broken hip in a fall while attempting to escape from the jail, is still in a hospital here under guard.
Sweaza sawed the bars over a window to the jail on the second floor of the police headquarters building and swung to safety down an improvised rope made by tearing blankets to his bunk in narrow strips. Smith was crippled when the blanket on which he was descending, snapped, throwing him onto steps leading to the basement of the building.
