No hunter in any way, but a fugitive (2,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on the run

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a fugitive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no hunter in any way' is the wordplay.
'no hunter' anagrams to 'ON THE RUN'.
However, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'but' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on the run that I've seen before include "Fleeing arrest" , "wanted by the police" , "Like fugitives" , "astride galloping hunter" , "one after the other" .)
