has had some experience in the detect
i've business. lie had noticed two or
three suspicious.looking characters
around that pla,e during the week
aud thought he would recognize them
if he saw them. He left orders when
he retired to be called early, aud was
ont betim9s yesterday morning.
While sitting in william Dyer's New
York hotel, IN the Third ward, read
ing. he chanced to look up and at once
recognized one of the men be had seen
at Tonesta. lie pretended not tos
notice him. but at the same time ob
served the fellow kept his cap pulled
down over his eyes. AS soon as he
could do so without rousing suspicion,
he left the hotel and proceeded to the
residence of Chief Neill. The two then
returned to the hotel. The man evil
IDENTIFY knew Neill, because as soon as
hesaw him coming he started up the
street to wards the suspension bridge
Neill followed, the fellow gradually
increasing his speed. Neill noticed
that he had his hand on his revolver,
which he carried in his hip pocket.
Instead Of going on the bridge, tho
suspicious.looking chap turned down
the railroad track, still keeping his
hand on his shooting iron and occa-
sionally casting his eyes at the officer
At an opportuue moment Neill COW
cred the chap with his revolver and
told him to stop. He at once wilted
and at once threw up the sponge.
Neill then put the irons on his man
ard put HIM in the lookup. Upon
searching him the officer found enough
= to convince him he had got the right
man. IN his pockets he found two
ten dollar bills, one five, one one, three
five dollar gold pieces, one package of
ten cent pieces containing three dol
g lars, and three packages of nickelS
r containing enc dollar each, making
n forty.seven dollars in all. In addition
to this he had several feet of water
= proof fuse, four or five gimlets and bits,
u tin funnel or blow.pipe, evidently
n nsed for blowing powder into locke,
If and a revolver.

> lookup last evening and had talk
: with the chap. He is man, proba-
y bly, about thirty years of age, rather
