McGuan, Wednesday Morning. When Captured. Will Daccy, an ox-convict, was caught uninvited In the home of J. C. McGuan, IBBS Belle street about 8 o'clock this morning.

Officers Flagg, Drew and Lyons were summoned to tin! McGuan homo when tho family caught Daeey In Iho house, and they arrested him. Dacey has been suspected of having committed other robberies. Ho was convicted onco of robbing HIP Broderlck saloon on Belle street and has boon out of -the penitentiary a little over a year. He entered the McGuan home by climbing the porch and going through an upstairs window. Soon after 2 o'clock Mr.

McGwan was aroused and thought ho heard a suspicious sound, and again about twenty minutes later more suspicious sounds were heard, which caugod an investigation to be made. Mrs. McGuan says that she went Into the bedroom where Dacoy was and happened to put her hand on tho head of Decoy. Ho was trying to pry the marble top off a dresser to get at some money that wus secreted underneath. He had a heavy iron bar In his hands.

As he sat in the window the screen dropped down on him and then Dacey knowing he was caught, when Mrs. McGuan. touched him, began to pretend that he was drunk, forgetting that he would have a hard time convincing anyone ho was drunk when he had bean able to climb the porch.

Dacey has long been suspected of laving known something of numerous robberies about the city, but no was secured against him. When ho was arrested ho had on his person a gold watch it was supposed he lad stolen.

It will be remembered that when the cloudburst occurred Daccy played the role of a hero running along the street and warning Inhabitants to get out of the way of tho coming flood.
