GRANT GILLETT RUN DOWN.

Kansas Cattle King Said to Have Been Arrested. Grant C. Gillett, the Kansas cattleman who, after a meteoric career, skipped out after floating $2,000,000 worth of valueless paper, is said by the representatives of the creditors to be under arrest at Chihuahua, in Old Mexico. It is stated that a message received from the northern border of Old Mexico conveyed information of Gillett’s whereabouts and asked what proportion of the money found on him would be given his captors if they turned him up. An officer was sent to Mexico to take charge of Gillett on a cliargV of forgery and an application for extradition papers was made.
