Gary Alderman Is Jailed on Coast.

Los Angeles, January 3.—A fugitive from justice for two years, Anthony Baukus, former aiderman of Gary, Ind., was arrested in Los Angeles today by city detectives. Baukus will be held pending the arrival of an officer from Gary with requistion papers. During the bribery trials in Gary two years ago Baukus was arrested, with Mayor Knotts and five other aidermen. The charge against them is said to have been soliciting bribes in connection with the famous Dean heating franchise. It was developed afterward that, the franchise matler was a scheme of the detectives to land the city officials in prison. Baukus and several other aidermen mysteriously disappeared, and it is alleged that before he left, Baukus made a written confession.
