The City Marshal made an attempt yesterday to arrest a
notorious character named Bob Knowlton, who hid himself in a house on Division
street. Being advised however of the
Marshal’s intended raid, Knowlton took to his heels and went in the direction
taken by his compeer, Pete Mower, a few weeks since. The Marshal could not overtake him, and he
made good his escape. It will be much
better for him to remain at a distance, if he does not desire a glimpse of
daylight through the bars of the Gridiron on the North Hill.
