ARuReLAR SHOT ANo CAPTURED.
IMPORTANT ARREST. Recovery Of Fifteen to
Eighteen thousand Dollars of Stolen Property.
After all the trouble of the police, who have
been rackfng their brains and depriving them
selves of sleep in their endeavors to ferret out the
robbers who have lately worked SO daringly and
successfully, accident has disclosed the perpe-
traitor of most of the robberes and led to the re-
covery of perfect mine of stolen property. 1t
was certainly one of the most astounding discover
les ever made. The following were the circum-
| stances:
| Mr.. Henry H. Monterio and Mr.. Norback to-
gether occupy asecond-story room fronting on the
gallery Of the house No. 1873 Canal street. next to
| the confectionery at the corner Of Carondelet.
| They generally have a good deal of money and
other valuables, and SO have always been prepared
for burglarious visits. Monterio sleeps regularly
| with light on the mantel and loaded revolver
on chair at the head of his bed, and has been in
| the habit Of placing a shoe or some other small
article on the sash of the gallery window, so that
| its fall would make a noise should any one raise
| the SASH He did this on Friday night when he
| retired.
| Between halfpast and 8 O'Clock on Saturday
morning, Monterio heard q noise in the adjoining
room, but paid no attention to it, not suspecting
| that it was burglar. 1t subsequently appeared
that burglar had entered this room from the gal
| lery, by cutting through the window blind, and
searched it, but found nothing of value. Monterio
had fallen asleep again, when Norback, who was
| sleeping with him, woke him quietly and told him
4 there was some one at the window, trying to get
| in. The light on the mantel was SO low as just
| barely to render the darkness visible" Monterio
raised on his elbow took up and cooked his revolver
and quietly awaited the robbers entrance. He
dimly saw the fellow on his knees on the gallery,
slowly and softly raising the window; when he had
| the sash hghenough, he cautiously put his head n
and was looking around, when Nonterio fred at
him.
The rascal let the sash drop, staggered little,
then rushed along the gallery toward the conection-
ary, and was down and of, almost in no time :" BY
Heavens" exclaimed Monterio, as the robber
fled, missed him ~ but this proved to be mis-
take. Officer Lynn, on Carondeet street, met a
| man bleeding and asked him what was the matter !;
to which he replied none of your id business y
passed on and entered the house No. Z Carondelet
| street, where it appeared he roomed, in company
with another man. Lynn not entirely satisfied.
waited outside and after little while the bleeding
man came out again to go for medical aid. Lynn
n wifi 3ba Rotf ar;,,
remark You id son of b-h, you have got
shot in robbing house! y and arrested him. The
man made no resistance, and all he said was to
beg the officer for Gods sake to take him to the
hospital This the officer did. He then reported
the fact at the police office, and soon Lieut. Jaquess
and some of his officers went to the house No. T
| Carondelet street. The blood.spots led them to
| the right room and there was little pool of
| blood on the bureau, showing that the rascal had
been examining his wound in the glass.
In this room were found three trunks, crammed
in disordered manner with costly goods of nearly
every description dry goods, laces, silyerware,
some of it partly melted gold watches and chains,
and valuable trnkets of all kinds in the tester of
| the bed, which proved to have been made double
for this purpose, was found large quantity of silk
| fine cloths, etc. The value of the whole lot was
estimated at between $4,000 and $4,000. The
Lieutenant had all these goods removed to his of.
fee; and great was the excitement on Saturday,
when the news of the discovery spread. There
was quitea meeting of people, who had been lately
robbed, at the Leutenants office, Identifying and
claiming articles of which they had been despoiled.
