STOCK.
Another Capture of 81 900 In Wisconsin,
Develops an Unexpected Richness-AM
of j. N. Rogers Clients Secured, and a
Little Left.

The SUNDAY GLOBES revelation of Cham.
bers' recent whereabouts and the capture of a
lot Of his secret goods was productive Of fur.
| Their good. And it came about in this way: St.
Paul being great railroad centre, as we'll as
affording other attractions, is made Sunday
stopping over place for commercial travellers
Last Sunday was no exception in congregating
a number of this class of business men in our
hotel corridors. They read the GLOBES ex-
elusive account of the Chambers business with
great avidity. All of them were interested in
business way, more or less. Some decidedly
more, Tor they were representatives of several
of the firms victinlized by the fugitive Cham
pers. Such as these became deeply interested in
the recltal Of Chambers business manuevres, and
how completely his fraudulent designs had
been frustrated by Mr.. J. N. Rogers and his
coadjutor Mr.. Thomas Davies of Clapp Bros. 4
Co., Chicago.
If Mr.. Rogers had done SO we'll on the first
venture, they reasoned, wouldn't he venture
again, and wouldn't success attend him? At
any rate, several Of these authorized agents
made business to first look at the GLOBE,
then look up Mr.. Rogers. Finding him, several
new claims were committed to his charge for
collection. He was asked to collect. Their
vision wasn't powerful enough to sight any thing
through the depth of attachments already plas-
tered on the visible and invisible stock, maybe
he could get focus on something. Yesterday
morning the focus was centered on some goods
spirited away by Chambers. The process was
com paratively easy, experience coming into
play.
On the 25th day of November the freight
agents book at Minneapolis shows the ship
ment of two cases of goods by A. Norbert to A.
Norbert and the destination was Madison
Wis. The telegraph was brought into requi-
sition, and speedy response returned that
the seizure OF Mr.. Norberts goods had been
made. This catch, on inspection, revealed
similar condition to the haul at Omaha. The
goods were packed and secured by wrappers
bearing Chambers name and late occupation
IN st. Paul. The two cases contain clothing
in piece and SUITS and are respectively APP
praised at S35l3.56 and $438.48. The weight Of
the two cases was 1,070 pounds. Thus another
successful seizure of goods for his clients has
been made by Mr.. Rogers
In this connection it may be added that Mr..
Rogers took his departure from Omaha before
the full extent or value of the haul there was
ascertainad. Yesterday he received word that
the full value of the seizure will approximate
to S5, 900, or 81 900 more than at first antici-
pated. In connection with the trip to Omaha,
for apparent reasons, at Mr.. Rogers request
the SUNDAY GLOBE omitted to mention the trace
of other goods obtained. These were contained
in a compact case, total weight 1890 pounds.
This box was shipped to Council Bluffs on the
9th of November, and reshipped from there to
San Francisco on the 18th ult. w. Henry was
consignor and consignee and the box was
marked, s'To be called for by own
er." From the description of the
case MIR. Rogers was led to believe, if cap
tured, it would be the most valuable seizure
made He surmised that Chambers stock of
jewelry-at present conspicuousIy absent
would be found in that box. Before leaving
Omaha, he tried to anticipate Chambers pos
slble arrival in San Francisco by telegraph. He
had received reply at the time
of his departure from Omaha,
but yesterday a further confirmation
of success permits the GLOBE to mention this
new feature of the Chambers business.
Mr.. Rogers has amply secured all his clients,
and had margin beside. This margin has
been obscured by a lot Of attachments sued out
by Rogers & Rogers. The above completes a
neat piece of work requiring skill and despatch,
both of which were employed to very sue
