/ Further Particulars of the Giaripg Robbery
How the job was Donc.
The facts of the glaring robbery OF
/ Saturday evening are gradually coming
to light. and from present appearances
the work can be brought home TO the
perpet rators, Five men have already
been arrested, and only one more re-
mains 10 be pulled, The names
of those in the arms of the
law are John Galloway, proprietor OF
the Star saloon, g. G.. McHam, pro.
prietor of the Santa Fe saloon, Bill
Cooper, gambler, George Cooper, Q
gambler All son of the preceding, and
Jack Mcdonald, commonly known as
BLACK Jack" The police are in pos
session ofevidence directly duplicating
each. The sixth member Of the gang
Is supposed to be Peter Smith, WHO
iuml cd the city at 2:l5 Sunday
morning. Mr.. Smith Is the ny
young man, who announced that he
had been left $4,000 by Il defunct rela-
tive, notice Of which duly found its
way into these columns. Smith an
nounced TO Chris. Rintleman Saturday
evening that q relative of his died Il
few DAYS previously and left him Sl2,-
900. That 500 was sent him TO pay
his expenses home, and that he would
start soon. He deposited 800 with
Mr.. Rintleman, saying he
would take the rest to pay
clothes, pay old debts etc, before leav-
ing the city. The fact of his deposit
ing one hundred dollars convinced Mr..
Rentleman that he was telling the
truth as he had not cent To show up
for many moons previously. Soon
after the deposit was made, Jake Rig
gle informed Mr.. Rintltman
of the facts of the
robbery and he began to smell
a mouse. Smith turned up in the
course of an hour and Nj. Rintleman,
half in joke, half in earnest, accused
him Of participation in the robbery.
He wiIted little, denied it, but said
he knew who did it. He then de.
manded the Sl00he had deposited, and
az soon as he received it
beat hasty retreat. He has
not been seen in the city since.
1t is more than probable that he
is the sixth man. Bill Cooper started
for Wichita Falls Sunday morning
and was arrested there yesterday, on
telegram from City Marshal Reu. He
was brought down last night. Mr..
Rea started for D,nison yesterday, but
the young un returned to the city on Il
freight train yesterday morning,
aud was captured at the depot by OF
ficers Scott and ltiggles as soon as he
alighted. All of them except Bill
Cooper are out on 81 600 bail each.
They were arfaigned for preliminary
nft 1u int lt.I t,,t.f
$50 yesterday afternoon, but in conse-
4uence ofsome hitch in the proceed.
inps, the case was adjourned until S
o'clock this morning. John Galloway
has retained Captain Frank Ball
to defend him, and the rest of
the gang have secured the services of
Henry NJ. Furman. 1t was Il matter
OF comman talk on the streets last
night that Mr.. Furman had received
$3.50 IN clear cash before he would
touch the case. This shows that the
accused are pretty well scared.
The police claim TO have good sub
evidence and plenty of it, TO
bring the crime home to the entire !
party. A man whose name the GA I
iErrE is not ut liberty to give at
present was an eye witness of the /
whole transaction, and has offered to
give evidence for the state. He was II
'pectator of the whole proceeding
without taking any part After the
ob was completed, he was offered SO /
o keep his mouth shut" He did
